Thanks for your courtesy in reply.

I have listened to he adds that he accepts small individual contributions.

On his website, donations section, it says: "By law the maximum amount an individual may contribute is $2,700." and one can select to donate the full amount. So I don't see any limits other than law.

Those large corporate donations

I understand the differences in various funding sources; only point here is about claiming his campaign is self-funded. I think this is plainly a false statement - by over $6 million I believe.

thanks again...

Oh no? They say no criticism of him his valid or acceptable. Everything other than his narrative should be banned.

Man these posters are busy busy busy the last week or so!
One sad article after another..sigh

In the meantime, unemployment is down! bwahahah
We’re drowning in debt.
The muzzies are on the march.
Illegals pouring in, still.
No need to list more, we all know what is happening before our eyes.

Is it to much to focus on more than 1 thing, is that the issue? Does Trump live in their heads every waking hour?

Again he admits to independent small donations in every speech. Guess you haven’ t listened to one.

If criticism has a basis in fact and not someone’s blog or a personal opinion piece in a journal committed to establishment(like NYT) I have no problem with valid criticism. Can you say the same about Cruz? I can. I don’t want to hear blogs or establishment BS about him either. Sources matter.

Here is a caveat that you may not know... Trump is only funding himself during the primaries. He expects full external funding in the general. He has stated this several times.

No. Read the post again. Read the headline. Both imply that Trump is lying about being self funding. Then, it implies (or says outright) that he is ‘’making money on the deal’’.

Considering the blatant dishonesty of y’all’s candidate, you really have a lot of nerve. I guess like candidate, like supporters.

I want to say this loud and clear.

When Trump says he is self-funding he ALWAYS also states that he gets unsolicited small donations. UNSOLICITED.

Because he is a mensch, Trump says he keeps the small donations because they are sent in a spirit of solidarity with the Trump movement, and it would be insulting to send them back.

I say this with respect: when I read criticism like this of Trump, I have to believe that folks hate Trump so much that they do not bother to watch his daily rallies/interviews/town halls, where he states things his critics seem not to know or have heard.

He has also indicated that he will gladly accept RNC money after he has secured the nomination. But so will everybody else.

Yeah. I mean I guess he could still self-fund for the general but that is really not necessary.

I really have no idea what you are referring to. Please tell me why you think Trump is blatantly dishonest.

Ha! Just as I expected. No link to provide to back up your claim that “I’ve read this from many sources. Trump is reimbursing himself from donations and he has paid his aviation company over a million dollars so far”.

No, YOU are the one who doesn’t believe CaucusGate video/tweet images/voicemail recordings when you see or hear them.

Keep hanging in with the amnesty PAC paid/Jeff Roe dirty tricks supported candidate, though.
