Donald Trump often states that he is self-funding his campaign. Is that true? Mostly, yes.
His campaign does accept donations but rarely ever solicits them. Donations to the campaign total around $50 million. About $12 million has come from small donations. Only about 4% of the total funds have come from Super PACS or “Big Gifts”. The bulk of his campaign donations have come from Donald himself. He has put nearly $40 million of his own money into the campaign. Compare his mostly self-funding campaign to the over $2 billion spent on stopping Trump in the primary and it is even that much more impressive. Look at the over $200 million that Hillary has raised and she can’t even beat Bernie when Trump wiped out 16 other GOP candidates. He uses his money wisely. |
