Trump backers get 'revenge gifts' from relatives: donations to liberal causes

Trump backers get 'revenge gifts' from relatives: donations to liberal causes
Some were inspired after hearing about donations to Planned Parenthood made in the name of Vice-President elect Mike Pence, who is fiercely against abortion. Pence is sent an acknowledgment from the family planning organization for every contribution.
Randi Greenwald, a retired lawyer in Portland, Maine, heard about the Pence idea and decided to put a more personal, local spin on the tactic.
Her son’s brother-in-law is Canadian but is a big fan of Trump and has been taunting the rest of the Democratic-leaning family ever since the real estate tycoon’s surprise win in November, she said.
“It meant more to me to make a revenge donation in this person’s name to a small cause locally,” she said.
Greenwald gave the money to her state branch of the Immigration Legal Advocacy Project, ILAP Maine, which assists people with their immigration cases, including asylum seekers and refugees.
“That’s his holiday gift this year,” she said.
