When you being in tons of money and no voters, it’s a clear case of the Establishment vs. the People.
The People’s President – Trump Campaign Raises $35 Million, With Average Contribution $34.20
The Last Refuge, Jul 6, 2023
According to Trump campaign officials talking to Politico about recent fundraising, in the second quarter of this year the Trump campaign raised $35 million with an average contribution of $34.20 per donor. Doing the math, that’s over a million small donors, average Americans, supporting President Trump.
This level of small donor fundraising reminds us of the summer of 2016 when former RNC Chairman Reince Priebus first saw the scale of small donors for President Trump and suddenly realized no political candidate before him had ever assembled such a massive level of grassroots support. Many of those donors contributing for the first time in their lives.
The reality of the “people’s president” is inside this jaw-dropping data-point. While all other candidates need to fundraise from the grass roots only to water down the scale of the big donors behind them, President Trump builds his political empire from the bottom up.
Florida Governor and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis has the backing of the Wall Street, billionaires and hedge fund managers, a select small group of very affluent donors with massive financial resources.
No voters? Holy crap I missed the election.
