Donald Trump has devoted much of his campaign to railing against a corrupt system where politicians must answer to their donors — and to promising his supporters that he will break that mold....
As more super PACs continue to emerge, ... The candidate won't definitively rule out super PAC funding, instead suggesting that he doesn't want it for himself, but for the Republican Party. "I do love self-funding," he told MSNBC's Morning Joe in April. "... I really won't be asking for money for myself, I'll be asking money for the party." Trump campaign manager, ... is still ruling out the big-money groups entirely. "We don't have Super PACs," he told NBC News.
The battle over funding aside, however, the groups have near-identical goals: To help Trump win in a handful of key battleground states to ensure he takes the 270 Electoral College votes needed to nab the White House.... Great America PAC will target seven or eight battleground states, including Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania. "We win those states," he said. Watts said CFAS is "holding their fire for now" but will look to set up strategic voter registration and get-out-the-vote programs as they see polling in to-be-determined....
A senior campaign source said that clarity will come over the course of the next week on a "number of subjects," including PACs.

“There is a group that is trying to get out into the public notice, it has been on twitter, if so many people pay $135.00, they could raise 1 billion dollars for Trump for the General Election so he won’t have to run on his money...but I haven’t been interested in it, so that is all the information I have on it...maybe someone else knows about it...”
It’s Diamond and Silk. They suggested if 10M people donated $125 each Mr. T could get $1billion. They suggested doing it on his birthday - June 14th.
Along with their regular tweets and online videos, they’ve started Women4Trump.com and are starting to do events. I read yesterday that the one planned in Florida next month had to be moved to another venue because of the demand for tickets.
Here’s their website (videos portion):
