$80 million raise for Trump Campaign in July Trump campaign raises $80 million in July


Donald Trump's campaign grew its fundraising significantly in the month of July, announcing a total of approximately $80 million raised. The campaign reported ending the month with approximately $37 million in cash on hand.

The numbers mark a sharp uptick from June, when Trump's campaign raised about $51 million.

"We are extremely proud of our 69 percent growth in small dollar donations which shows the broad based support of over one million donors across America," said Steven Mnuchin, the Trump campaign's finance chairman, in a release.
Speaking on CNBC Wednesday morning, Mnuchin said that the $80 million in fundraising "includes $64 million of small dollar donations, and $16 million of donations with the [Republican National Committee]."

Trump has now put more than $56 million of his own money into the race, the campaign announced, including a recent $2 million injection through a matching program.

Another Lie by Trump " I am Self Funding" BS.

1. ...and is trying to figure out how to move that cash into his personal bank account. nt

[niyad]

2. I would really like to see the actual bank statements, since I don't believe anything he says.

4. Yeah, me too...

although I'm sure that because of the Convention they did raise 'some' money but probably not the amounts they are saying they raised.

And you can bet that more than a few donors are none too happy about handing over the cash what with the week-long (and counting) implosion that's happening.

3. Makes me wonder

The current incompetence phase may be political jujitsu

Play dead and then strike, iow

5. " he still trails his rival Hillary Clinton for the month of July."

......... Trump's campaign also said it raised over $16 million from 20 fundraising events, held in conjunction with the RNC.

While the results show the Trump campaign has a positive trajectory in terms of fundraising, he still trails his rival Hillary Clinton for the month of July.

On Tuesday, Clinton reported raising nearly $90 million in July, ending the month with a $58 million war chest.

During July of the 2012 election, President Barack Obama's campaign raised more than $75 million, while Mitt Romney's campaign raised over $100 million.
