Is the VOA sentence right?
Hello, thanks to all who help me!
The following sentences are from VOA standard news, I found them difficult to understand:
"While rallying supporters, Trump also appears to be bolstering groups eager to challenge his administration in court. U.S. civil rights organizations report a surge in donations since last month's inauguration."
Why does Trump support those groups that challenge his administration?
what are those donations for?

Best wishes to all

Answer

Hi Cathy

Yes, the sentence is right - but Trump is not intentionally bolstering groups that want to challenge him - the sentence just means that so many people are so unhappy about what he is doing that they are giving money to organizations that they think will challenge him.
