Donald Trump's presidential campaign filed its first report with the Federal Election Commission on Thursday, providing a rare look inside the mogul's unusual political operation and revealing a campaign powered more by grassroots donors than the famous billionaire at its helm.
Trump has stressed that he is willing to self-fund his campaign with up to $100 million, but through September, his campaign actually spent slightly more money from Trump supporters than from Trump himself. The filing shows Trump has invested $1.9 million of his own money into running for president, while his campaign spent $4.2 million this quarter, drawing from $3.9 million in mostly online donations.

Go figure.
“We don’t know if Donald Trump is willing to open his pocketbook,” says former Romney deputy campaign manager Kate Packer, until he “demonstrates he’s willing to actually spend significant dollars.”
He is willing to fund $100 million? That’s less than 10% of what it will cost. Where is the other billion?
But Trump supported Romney, except to criticize him for being to hard on immigration.
It’s interesting.
I realize you are one this tread to try to be critical of Trump because you want someone else. I get that.
But you’re right about one thing. Trump is doing very well right now.
Lots, and lots of room in that budget, for a whole lot more spending.
I whacked my plastic for The Donald, just so I could say and know I have skin in the game. He’ll spend mine AND his when the time is right.
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
blah, blah, blah
blah, blah, blah
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Now that is bang for your buck!
Goes to show you if you are genuine, you don’t need a billion dollars to win the election.
“I like this Duke.”
Love, Stilgar
Punching snarky, slimey reporters in the face is a great idea for a fund raiser....
Yes he’s lying, go figure. He’s been quoting that ridiculous $500K spending figure when it’s nearly 10 times that amount. What else is he lying about?
Doesn’t matter. There are no facts to a Trumpette. They love the man, no matter what.
This is exactly what I’m talking about with the Trumpettes. It can’t be Trump who’s a fake, it’s got to be you, nickcarraway. Who are you going to believe your lying facts or Trump (AS SEEN ON TV)
Keep in mind that FR has its own contingents of fakes, LIVs and union trolls like CNN. CNN is not even a single person, but a group of push posters working for a union.
Look, you morons. The REASON Romney lost is that he was a WIMP against Obama.
Do you seriously believe that the fact that Trump supported Romney in 2012 means that he will be a WIMP against Hillary in 2016 the way Romney was a WIMP against Obama in 2012?
Do you really believe that?
If so, you aren’t just morons, you are Super Star Morons.
Look, morons,
I want the Wall.
I like his Tax Policy.
I like his Immigration Policy.
And I KNOW that he will NOT be a WIMP against Hillary.
So go ahead and continue to blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah about Trump all you want.
I don’t really give a rat’s patoot.
You’re just outing yourselves a morons.
I didn’t mention Romney. You did. I am discussing the fake: Trump. He lies about money. He’s a serial trophy wifer. What else is he lying about?
Do you really think a guy who loves Kelo (conservatives believe in private property) and is a dear friend of the Clintons (you remember them, no?) is a conservative?
I love the smell of a rant in the morning :)
You joined in. The talk about Romney was ongoing.
On the question of whether or not Trump is a conservative... well, I know there are those here in FR, like yourself, who believe he is not.
I respect your opinion and apologize for calling you a moron.
It was really aimed at the other guy (can’t remember how to spell his name and I’m not looking it up) who always chimes in every discussion with a blah, blah, blah trump-is-bad comment.
Anyway, sorry for lumping you in with him.
You have your differences with what you perceive to be Trump’s politics. I can understand that.
I do disagree with you, of course.
Just to be clear, one more time:
I don’t want President Hillary.
I don’t want President Jeb.
I don’t see anyone else but Trump stopping those two.
I want the Wall.
I like Trump’s stated Tax Policy.
I like Trump’s stated Immigration Policy.
I LOVE Trump’s ability to stand up to the Army of Politically Correct Morons that are turning our United States into a vast pile of dog turds.
Is Trump perfect?
No.
Does anyone come close to Trump on the above list?
No.
Entire article is great. Well worth the read and proves Trump's keen business sense, yet again.
