Donald Trump’s campaign money problems aren’t problems at all, the presumptive Republican nominee said Tuesday morning.
The billionaire real estate mogul kicked off the month of June with just $1.3 million in his campaign account, a fraction of the $42 million Hillary Clinton had on hand. But that financial gulf between the two campaigns did not appear to worry Trump though during an appearance on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends” Tuesday morning.
“We want to keep it lean. I'm not looking to spend all this money. You know, I hear people spend a billion dollars. I’m saying, how do you spend a billion dollars? It's impossible. Politicians are the only ones who can spend a billion dollars,”

He's right...only politicians could or would spend that kind of money for a job that pays about 400k. Especially since they're spending other people's money.
Good post. Thanks.
Sent him $500
Problem is all my past donations have been to losing candidates (And no not Romney )
______________
Thanks a million, buddy!
Where else can a middle class guy work at a job for a couple of years and then leave that job worth millions with a lifetime pension?
LOL. All gubmint technical work should be routed to Trump contractors.
I got an email from “Team Trump” asking for money. Does anyone know who this is? I don’t trust SuperPacs.
I am only sending money via his own website.
Good post. Thanks.

Thank you! We are seeing an all-out onslaught of negative ads, and 100% negative media, and this will continue. The only way to counter this is with donations to get the message out around the media with rallies, ads, and voter outreach to those who have never voted—we will need them!
Please all, contribute.
“all of my donations have been to losing candidates”
PLEASE uncbob DO NOT DONATE!!!!! LOL!!!!
It is the “other people’s money” that has been the prime moving force in gaining high political office today.
Graft and corruption still rule. It is just a little more sophisticated than it used to be.
Self-funded political careers is mostly a fairly rare concept in today’s market. Most of the “political reformers” of years past carried their campaigns on a shoestring. And did not get so very far, but they acted as a “steering committee” on policy, sometimes for years. Once the idea got out there, there were always partisans with money to take up the cause.
Amateurish bloviating , half truths at best and outright dishonesty for the most part. and obvious attempts at emotion, not issues ( where she has no standing)
Or when she does try to touch on issues it ends up recruiting for Trump
Trump,people on the other hand have produced some brilliant short ads aired on social media- they need to,go viral and national but it is too early
He hasn't yet gained the nomination
I just wish the RINOs would shut up and slither away
They are killing any semblance of a large groundswell of support for republicans across the board
If each of Trump Supporters would put into his account one hundred dollars, by the end of the day there would be over a BILLION dollars...
And this pissy ant media twit writing this ‘news’ article says he's worried about money? ROFLMAO!!! You have got to be on drugs, insane or have your head up someone else’s behind!!!
...and those speaking fees...
Mr. Trump. Your money would be well spent if you were to hire a plumber to find and repair the number of leaks seen of late. These leaks continue to deplete the water being carried to and fro. You must have many names of very professional men and women, being in your profession Once halted, we will then be able to contain and proceed to chill for a time. The drips are a distraction to those who have a mission to accomplish.
Just a reminder:
As of mid May Sanders and Clinton had spent about $135 Million, Bush, Rubio, Cruz and Kaisch spent about $193 Million. TRUMP SPENT only $18.5 Million.
I just gave 200.00 and I gave 200.00 a week ago for his birthday, I think that ALL of this low funds talk on the media is going to backfire on them HUGELY Trump supporters WILL once again show these asshats who is in charge and that WILL BE us!!!!!
Trump hasn’t been asking for money got the General election. As soon as he does, there will be a flood of cash headed his way.
Try "trillions."
Thanks for assessing the actual situation and your overview before panic sets in with some.
Those emails are not coming from the Trump campaign. Remember that PACs cannot associate with candidates, so there is nothing Trump can do to stop it (PACs raising money in his name). I would treat that email like any other SPAM email and just delete it.
Trump won the nomination on a fraction of the money the other candidates spent. I believe he will run the general election the same way - maybe spending 1/10th the amount of Crooked Hillary.
It's the best advertisement for his candidacy that I can think of. If he runs his campaign lean and mean like this while getting results, imagine what he can do when he gets into the White House. We need that kind of attitude.
Trump reminds me in many ways of Harry Truman. Truman was also very careful about spending money and hated government corruption and waste. I think he slept in his car while campaigning so he didn't have to spend $5 on a hotel room (when he was running for senate). I know Trump won't go to that extreme but he's got the same kind of mentality. I remember a couple months ago, Trump stayed at a Marriott Courtyard or some such place on the campaign trail. As it was campaign money, he wasn't going to be frivolous with it.
