April 4, 2021 Donald Trump and his allies relied on misinformation to bolster support for the former US president ahead of the last election. His campaign, meanwhile, turned to deceptive design to bump up donations from unsuspecting Americans, the New York Times reports. Last September, the paper reveals, when the Trump campaign faced a cash shortage, it leaned on supporters to turn their one-time donations into monthly and, eventually, weekly contributions. The problem is the campaign’s website didn’t ask people to opt– in to this enhanced giving schedule, it asked them to opt-out. Trump backers only discovered later that WinRed, the for-profit company that processed Trump campaign payments, was taking hundreds or thousands out of their bank accounts.
