Trump doesn’t need a lot of funds. That’s one of the main points of his candidacy: he doesn’t have to sell himself to Jabba the Adelson.
So far he’s pretty much spent zilch. If we were to carve off $500 million from his own net worth, he’d probably have it in the tank.
If his net worth is anywhere near what he claims it is, that would be a relatively painless amount to end up as President.
But if he can raise money for other Republicans in his name, it helps him consolidate power in the party and in Congress. Those piggies love the teats. They are whores...give them money and they’ll love you. That takes a LOT of money. Billions across the country. Adelson can be very helpful. He can survive a crackdown on cheap labor and open borders, his margins are astronomically Yuge.
You can be worth billions, but to come up with 500 million in liquid cash aint easy! Even for a billionaire.

It’s always easy to spend other people’s money.
