Saw a picture of a canceled check online. Was wondering if it was real.
Yup. From the California Secretary of State site.

Donald J Trump donating THOUSANDS to Democrats proves NOTHING! But Thomas Crooks giving $15 to Democrats PROVES he was ACTUALLY a Democrat!
Wasn’t that 15 dollar donation done by someone from a different state and the same name?
Same name, same zip code, allegedly different person. I haven’t seen any updates on the allegedly but, but all signs point to that kid being andi-dem his whole life. (My assumption is a joke/insult donation in his name…source: I have done this to people and sent them the receipt.)
My wife’s pet theory is he lost a bet
Nope, they confirmed it was him.
My take though is that it was ~4 years ago- he was 17. My politics between 17 and 20 did a 180 so I don’t see it as any damning evidence of his political affiliation.
They looked at his search history and he also was looking up Biden and other politicians of different political affiliation- this is just conjecture but he may have chosen Trump merely because he was the easiest to get to. The kid was angry at the world and wanted to kill someone in power.
The only thing we know for sure, is that we don’t know and can’t know the whole truth. It died with him. That take generally too scary for most people to accept, so any explanation gives us comfort.
Same name, same street address, but the city listed on the donation was wrong. It was listed as Pittsburgh instead of New Bethel, PA. But the street address does not exist in Pittsburgh.
