Lol. He donated as much to both parties as he has admitted.

The obvious answer is because humans are creatures of habit and politely clapping at the beginning and end of the talk is what humans do.

So you do it here as well.

Just like people will clap when Henry Kissinger is giving an interview.

All it takes is 1 person to clap and now suddenly everyone else is the asshole.

I thought what he donated to the right was a pittance in comparison to the 40mil?

Americans clapping for every reason and no reason is a meme unto itself.

Lol to you.

I guess the double irony is lost on people.

Will work better on it for next time.
