Trump didn’t self fund his campaigns.

Disney was in his top 5 contributors in BOTH 2016 and 2020. They’re not doing too well lately thanks to DeSantis, which is one of the many things that could be hurting Trump.

2016:

Early on he did, with a lot of his own money.

Trump has paid for the majority, but not all, of his presidential campaign out of his own pocket. Trump’s self-funding accounts for 72 percent of his campaign spending so far ($45.7 million in campaign loans and $63.3 million in expenditures as of May 31). Trump raised the remainder from mostly small donors.

Find me another person who did that!

Former CEO of Disney Ike Prlmutter donated $10 million to the America First Action PAC. Perlmutter has since been fired by Disney.

That was the 2020 "Disney" contribution.

Are you a leftist, are you connected to the criminal enterprise currently controlling the levers of this nation, are you being deceptive like Open Secrets also, or are you just plain stupid?

Because your claim is not true at all. These donors are in some way connected to Disney or their subsidiaries and affiliates, it is not donations by the Disney Corporation at all.

This table lists the top donors to this candidate in the 2020 cycle.
(The same applies to 2016 as well.)

The money came from the organizations' PACs; their individual members, employees or owners; and those individuals' immediate families.

At the federal level, the organizations themselves did not donate, as they are prohibited by law from doing so.

Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates.

..."which is one of the many things that could be hurting Trump."

What's been going on these past 8 years with the constant attacks on this country, and the people by the deep state, and globalists, while using Trump as their means to get to us, has hurt this country far more than it has hurt President Trump. I don't understand why you think this is all about Trump. It's not. It's about Nazis getting control of this country for the remaining days of your life. Look past your nose to see what the real agenda is, and where it is going to lead.
