NEW YORK, NY – Today the Donald J. Trump Campaign for President announced historic totals from September’s fundraising efforts. The $100 million haul (inclusive of TMAGA/Trump Victory) came mostly from small donors and includes a monthly $2 million dollar contribution from Mr. Trump.
Mr. Trump’s contribution more than covered the costs of any reimbursements to him (or his related entities) for his plane and office rent; which the law mandates to be reimbursed. He has contributed an unprecedented amount to his campaign. This brings total raised to date (inclusive of his contributions) to 360 million dollars.
The Campaign and both Joint Fundraising Committees finished the month with very strong cash positions on hand, totaling approximately $75 million.
Since the campaign started, 2.6 million people have contributed to the campaign (a 24% increase from the previous month). This is an unprecedented number historically for any Republican candidate.
“These numbers show that Donald Trump continues to have incredible broad based support from across America. We want to thank our many volunteers and contributors that are clearly committed to electing Donald J. Trump as President in November,” said Steven Mnuchin, Donald J. Trump for President Finance Chairman.
My contributions were a small, but significant part of that total.
The deplorable peasants are revolting. Too early to start installing the guillotine on the National Mall in DC?
Yes. It is. Don't want to seem TOO eager at this juncture.
However feel free to begin building all the tumbrils you like.
After the lying female accusations of the last few days made another very small donation.
Where are the ads on TV?
May I suggest this one, entitled “Obama Campaigns for Trump”

Trump just needs to run the video and then at the end say, “This message is approved by me, Donald J. Trump.”
And this ad needs to run next Wednesday during the debate on ALL channels.
It’s funny to thinkg that the MSM has involuntarily matched this dollar for dollar at least, and probably more.
The more they worry about him the more they talk about him and how awful he is. But what they forget is that only 6% of Americans in a recent Breitbart survey trust the MSM to tell the truth. So, 94% of people hear the name “Donald Trump” and disbelieve whatever is said about him!
I’ve never felt so good about my political donations.
The campaign is running out of time to get the word out. I’m sure the money will be spent wisely. (And does the RNC get a cut of this? I’d heard it does but hope that’s not true.)
I gave what I could. I give every time one of his requests comes in the mail.
Felt this way about Reagan.
Tumbril? You are expanding my vocabulary!
I did too - $75
I used to be a political fundraiser. Absolutely LOVE small donor. Candidates want to show wide support. It may be great to get $100M from a couple of hundred Goldman Sachs executives, but far better to get $10 from thousands of the “small people.”
I would LOVE for someone to build a guillotine (fake!) on the bed of a pickup truck and drive it around to Hillary/Kaine functions. Like the Bill is a Rapist t-shirts.
Or, how about parking one of those hot tarpots in front of her town hall meetings with some opened feather pillows nearby?
I’ve wondered same thing re: ads. Here in Florida, it’s #CrookedHillary on TV and even radio 24/7. Trump ads are rare enough to be oddities. Social media stuff is great, but there still is something about penetrating the consciousness of the average voter w/ plethora of ads. Time’s running out, ad buys getting much more expensive, and don’t even know if campaign could get ad space. They promised a “blitz” of $140M in ads. Doesn’t seem like it’s happened. We know Trump doesn’t need the $, so can’t figure out why we haven’t seen.
