In a Facebook ad posted Thursday afternoon, the Trump presidential campaign promised to put the names of small-dollar campaign donors up on the Jumbotron during next week’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland.

“By contributing $500, $250, $100, $75, or even $50, your name will be featured as a top grassroots donor on the Jumbotron at the 2016 Republican National Convention!” promised the Facebook post, which is now making the rounds on the social media site as sponsored content.

Clicking on the ad brings readers to a secure donation page for the campaign.



“I want to see your name on the Jumbotron at the Republican National Convention,” reads the website. “Contribute at least $50 to add your name for everyone to see.

“Time and space is LIMITED. Act now to reserve your spot,” the fundraising pitch closes.
