An Axios article is delivered to present the contrast between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis around small donor contributions to highlight the scale of grassroot support for Trump over DeSantis. However, there’s a buried lead in there.
According to the article, “82% of the total raised from individual contributions by Trump’s campaign since the start of the year came from small-dollar donors — amounting to more than $44 million, according to FEC data.” A few paragraphs later, “Biden’s re-election campaign raised roughly $10 million during the second quarter from donors giving less than $200.” Put another way, President Trump has four times as many small donors than Biden.
CTH has previously pointed out the strength of support within the MAGA working and middle class for President Trump. Indeed, it was when former RNC Chairman Reince Priebus first saw the scale of the Donald Trump campaign data in June 2016, when all professional party opposition to his campaign disappeared. It wasn’t just the amount of money that stunned Chairman Priebus, it was the number of donors. The largest number of donors to a Republican political campaign ever recorded.
The data shows what most people now have started to accept. The voting base supports Donald Trump (82% small donors, 18% big donors). The Wall Street and multinational corporations support Ron DeSantis (17% small donors, 83% big donors).
Trump’s Main Street supporters are the inverse of DeSantis’ Wall Street supporters. There’s the distinction.
(Via Axios) – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is lagging far behind former President Trump on a crucial metric for the longevity of a presidential campaign: small-dollar donations.

Will the effective branDUHn basement campaign/ice cream shop stop be in play again? NOBODY can beat that. He probably has a buhzillion $$$$ stashed away....
Look at this way.
Ron DeSantis has never said the most foolish statement anyone uttered in a long, long time.
The absurd notion that Trump could end the Ukraine war in 24 hours is beyond magical thinking of a narcissist.
This alone will keep Mister Trump from winning the general election, however many other foolish statements will re-enforce.
They sure are behind him. More than ever. After seeing what Byedone and his handlers have done to America while getting richer and richer. Byedone don’t give a crap about America’s citizens.
You DeSantis supporters are funny!
I hope Trump’s small donors realize that much of their contributions are going to pay Trump’s massive legal bills.
I’m fine with that.
I think DJT could do it in much less than 24 hours.
Don’t worry Seaplaner. This isn’t Jeb! 2.0. More big $ donors and a 4th reboot will fix DeSanctimonius’ problems and your dreams will come true.
I am more than happy for my donation money being used to fight the globohomo communists' evil lawfare.
Say hi to Karl Rove for me.
Rich, Anti-Trump Globalist Donors were always behind the Bland Meatball.
Ronnie’s Campaign was never a grass roots movement. And it never will be.
This just shows the differences between Trump and DeSantis. It shows that main street America is clearly behind Trump.

The real fun will start when the “never back down” kid starts to lose primaries state by state.
He’s got cash coming out his ears so he’ll be around awhile, but eventually delegate reality will be the end of his campaign.
I hope Trump’s small donors realize that much of their contributions are going to pay Trump’s massive legal bills.

Good.
Bogus indictments need to be fought tooth & nail.
Rove didn’t force Trump to pay hush money to a porn actress and a Playboy playmate. Rove didn’t advise Trump to hang onto documents when he was ordered to return them. Rove didn’t cause Trump to lie to his own attorneys in that matter and then get his personal assistant indicted. Trump’s legal problems are self inflicted.
Oh stop, you Never Trumpers.
Flabby Florida Man is done.
Krispy Creme Jersey Boi has no chance.
Vivek & Nimrata won’t go anywhere.
It’s MAGA now.
The world has changed.
We will never go McRomBush ever again.
Let’s get PDJT & RFK together.
No War. Peace. America First.
Yeah, Trump took money from small donors and still sold out to the swamp. Today, he's spending a significant chunk of his donations on lawyers.
DeSantis gets to keep all of his money and hasn't compromised his stalwart conservative positions regardless of who donated to him.
Mitt? Jeb? Chris Christie? Is that you?
No, to Rfk, Jr, he is still a liberal.
I voted for Trump twice. Democrats are gleeful at the prospect of facing him. Biden defeats him 48-44 in 2024, and carries all the swing states. Shortly thereafter he will turn the keys over to Kamala Harris.
“Meanwhile 83% of DeSantis Money Comes From Big Donors and Corporations”
An investor or corporate campaign donation is a business investment an expected ROI.
The “campaign” is itself a company with a service model.
The “campaign” rigs laws and regulations to lower the cost of doing business thus providing an ROI to their investors.
At no point is an investor or corporate campaign donation based on good Vs. evil, it’s all about $$$.
Ron and his “campaign” are promising to slice and dice and serve up America on a platter to get those donations.
Look no further than Harry Reid if you want to understand the consequences of not living up to donor expectations.
Trump on the other hand has his own money and is not owned.
See the difference?
It painfully obvious why Ron Desantis and his “campaign” are wrong for America.
