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,”

Wash DC pols are as corrupt now as 20th century Chicago aldermen.
Trump would be flush with campaign money if he took, for just one example, money that drives the cheap labor lobby. Of course then they would expect him to toe-the-line, to truckle, like all the sell-outs opposing him.
Trump is a political phenomenon: `a fact or situation that is observed to exist or happen, especially one whose cause or explanation is in question’.
Both Democrats and Republicans hate him especially because he played the game in the past by contributing’ to politicians’ campaigns. So they cannot understand his motivation.
They cannot wrap their tiny, venal minds around the possibility that he actually wants to make things better for the struggling middle class, to American good again. Or maybe they understand completely.
DITTO.
I really haven’t seen any ads on TV, for either side, her in Kansas (we don’t swing).
But I have seen some online stuff. And I assume Trump the Tweeter will try to get a lot of mileage out of free social media ad distribution.
We, my wife and I, have donated, not because we think Donald needs the money, but because we want him to know that We The people are behind him.
numbers count they show the level of support.
We too donated but have never received a email asking for anywhere near 250.
You must be on the GOP money list.
The worrying thing is that media buys aren’t the only thing a candidate needs cash for. There’s the ground game (get out the vote), legal fees for ballot challenges, etc.
Also, at some point, all the “free Trump publicity” is going to turn into “the mainstream media relentlessly attacking Trump, not giving him a chance to respond and rolling out the red carpet for the Hildebeast.”
At which point he may be wishing he had more cash in his campaign fund.
I agree.
Got the same email, dumped it in the trash. Suspect it came from Cruz’s list, and have no idea what they are using it for.
Might even have been Cruz, since it had the same “gotta have it by midnight” yapping.
Don't be deceived by what Trump has in his campaign fund.
If he is self-funding, why move large amounts of cash into a campaign fund? He probably has a "just in time" method of replenishing the coffers. In the meantime, why not keep it in his personal accounts until he actually needs it?
The media, bloggers, trolls, and other vermin are in all-out attack mode against Mr. Trump. It’s time for the GOP, conservatives, and other Liberty loving American’s to step up and support our nominee.
Most people are enjoying the summer right now. Only the media are heavily involved in politics. But they’ve got to have something to report. Or makeup.
Trump is scaring the piss out of these guys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1Qt6a-vaNM
That’s true....
Clinton has spent $42 million in ads against Trump already and she is tied with him....Orlando shook the polling.
The GOPe spent $62 million against Trump to prevent him from winning enough delegates.
Trump doesn’t have to have money on hand
Trump needs to finish the campaign with only $1 more than he needed to win.
Will do today.
“Trump may have to dip into his petty cash jar.”
Don’t forget that Trump’s mother was Scottish. Those people throw nickles around like manhole covers.
I just checked the e-mails I got from Team Trump.
The original donation I made was on the link to his website. The reply I got back was from Team Trump, which, at the bottom of the e-mail, says it’s paid for by Donald J. Trump for President Inc.
Then the next “Team Trump” email I received asking for more $$ was paid for by the Trump Make America Great Again Committee, which claims to be a joint fundraising effort between Donald J. Trump for President Inc. and the RNC, with an 80/20 split between the former and the latter.
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.

He sent out a fundraiser yesterday.

He sent out a fundraiser yesterday saying he will match dollar for dollar what comes in in the next few days. Now is a good time to hit that “Donate” button. We’ve got to beat this woman
