Donald J. Trump all but erased his enormous fund-raising disadvantage against Hillary Clinton in the span of just two months, according to figures released by his campaign on Wednesday, converting the passion of his core followers into a flood of small donations on a scale rarely seen in national politics.
Mr. Trump and the Republican National Committee raised $64 million through a joint digital and mail effort in July, according to his campaign, the bulk of it from small donations. All told, Mr. Trump and his party brought in $82 million last month, only slightly behind Mrs. Clinton’s $90 million, and ended with $74 million on hand, suggesting he might now have the resources to compete with Mrs. Clinton in the closing stretch of the campaign.

I saw Donald talk about the $82M in July... so I dropped a $100 today to help with August.
DESTROY Crooked Hillary
Disregard the smear. Listen to the people. The media lost control long ago. Think for yourself. Do not let them think for you!!~
Just a few weeks ago the NYT and others was crowing about how Trump was out of money.
Cool — just bought a copy for a family member as a gift.

I’ve donated more to Trump than I did any prior GOP nominees. He is the first one that really represents us.
Ditto and double Ditto.
Me too.
I will be sending in my August donations shortly.
Excellent.
I just wrote another check today also.
Anyone who says they're against Hillary, and who doesn't donate to Trump, might as well be a liar.....I'd wager that most of them also don't donate to FR.
