“But itâs also not true that he is fully self-funding his campaign.”
OK lets put that one to bed so you can go think something else up.
At 95% of his rallies Trump says he is self funding except for the small donations individuals send in which would cost more to return and probably insult people. But of course you already knew that. :-)
Thanks for playing.
If it was really "the small donations individuals send in which would cost more to return and probably insult people," then why does Trump have a donations page, which is prominently featured on his website?
The fact is, he is actively soliciting donations--which represent a small, though significant portion of his total campaign revenues, and which he can use to pay himself back for loans made to the campaign.
