The early "professional applauders" were hired from a company that provides background actors for $50/appearance. (The announcement of his run for office and at least the early rallies)
Remember when the Hollywood Reporter revealed that Donald Trumps campaign had hired actors to attend Trumps announcement event held at Trump Tower on June 16 and Donald Trumps team denied this? Im sure you will be shocked to learn that its true. Yes, an FEC document confirmed it.
The Trump campaign wont get in trouble for this, the FEC concluded, but yes they used a casting agency called The Extra Mile to pay extras to attend Donald Trumps announcement. Heres the highlights from the FEC doc:
SUBJECT: The complaint alleged that the Committee paid actors to attend Trumps candidacy announcement but failed to disclose payments to the actors or the companies that allegedly hired them, or to report a debt or obligations to Gotham, one of the companies involved with running the announcement event.
