The nearly $46 million raised during the third quarter is $10 million more than the campaign raised during the second quarter. Of the $45.5 million, over $37.5 million is cash on hand, with roughly $36 million designated for use during the primary elections.
“In an impressive testament to the overwhelming grassroots support behind President Trump that will lead to dominating victories, close to $36 million of the total cash on hand is designated for the primary,” Trump’s campaign said in a statement.
The campaign said the fundraising numbers “are even more impressive considering the Summer months are usually when most campaigns experience lagging fundraising support.”
“President Trump and his campaign have completely shattered that notion, the statement added.

Trump’s campaign also pointed out that Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) campaign has just $5 million in cash on hand available for the primary election.
“Meanwhile, the DeSanctimonious campaign admits to only having $5 million cash on hand available for the primary election— a grave indication that Ron’s candidacy may not live to see the Iowa caucuses in January, or even, the end of this month,” the statement continued.
“While DeSanctus’ fundraising, like his poll numbers, has seen an exponential drop even from July, President Trump outraised his impressive $35 million haul in Q2 (which doubled Q1 fundraising) by more than $10 million,” Trump’s campaign noted.
Trump’s legal woes have likely fueled his supporters to donate to his presidential campaign. In August, Trump announced his campaign raised $7.1 million after he surrendered himself

Juxtapose this with DeSantis who only brought in $15 million in the same period!Trump’s fundraising numbers also correspond with an increasing lead in the polls. The former president has a commanding lead over his Republican primary challengers. An October Morning Consult survey found Trump leads his opponents with 61 percent support, compared to DeSantis’s second-place 13 percent. Recent surveys have also shown that Trump is leading President Joe Biden in a hypothetical head-to-head match-up.
Meatball raised $5 million. Go Meatball!
I refer you to a bit of Greek mythology.
Antaeus, in Greek mythology, a giant of Libya, the son of the sea god Poseidon and the Earth goddess Gaea. He compelled all strangers who were passing through the country to wrestle with him. Whenever Antaeus touched the Earth (his mother), his strength was renewed, so that even if thrown to the ground, he was invincible. Heracles, in combat with him, discovered the source of his strength and, lifting him up from Earth, crushed him to death.
Now I ask you, what part is Donald Trump playing in this conflict, that of Antaeus, who regains strength each time he is thrown to the ground, or Heracles, who manages to separate Antaeus from the source of sustenance, and by sheer force, causes Antaeus to expire?
Great analogy. I think you could make an argument for Trump to be either one.
If he is Antaeus, he does indeed get stronger with every blow the strike. They - the deep state - being Heracles. In this scenario, I hope and pray they don’t figure it out.
OR...If Trump were Heracles in the same scenario, he will finally destroy Antaeus - AKA the deep state - when he is re-elected in 2024.
The deep state knows he will blow the lid off of the swamp which is exactly why so many corrupt entities are doing their level best to destroy him.
