Clinton is calling out Trump tweets in the most lucrative way
When it comes to Donald Trump's countless Twitter jabs, Hillary Clinton has decided to make lemonade out of lemons.
In fact, her presidential campaign is cashing in on the Trump tweets. The Clinton camp has released a new donating tool called Troll Trump. Supporters can donate money to the Democratic candidate's campaign every time Trump tweets. And if he continues at the same rate for the next few weeks, Clinton's camp could be drowning in cash come Election Day. Not that it isn't already, with more than $750 million raised.

The simple but lucrative tool made its debut in at least two tweets from Clinton on Tuesday.
But users should beware of jumping on too quick. While the Clinton tweets suggest otherwise, supporters who use the tool are not just throwing down cash every time Trump tweets something offensive. Donations are made every time he tweets at all — a point Clinton appeared to clarify in another tweet Thursday.
The tool lets you set how much money you contribute per tweet, but even pledging the lowest suggested amount, a quarter, may strain your wallet given Trump's propensity for late-night Twitter binges.
