There'll be a post on this thread by some nincompoop questioning why Trump is raising money even though "he said he'd fund his own campaign"

Although it's been explained...

...that he was funding the PRIMARY, NOT the GENERAL CAMPAIGN!

I recall him saying he will fund the primaries. Some people try to twist or misrepresent every comment he makes.

Some are wondering where to send checks. No address is listed on his website.

His reason for “self-funding” was what?

So that he wouldn’t be “beholden” to anyone.

How has that changed, now that we’ve moved to a general campaign? I sincerely don’t understand how receiving money then would have led to his being “beholden” to others, but receiving money now does not lead to his being “beholden” to others.

I’m not wanting to argue, not trying to demean. Just sincerely trying to understand how the “beholden” thing no longer applies now.

See, for example: https://www.facebook.com/DonaldTrump/posts/10156071933390725

How is receiving donations now different from receiving donations then?

Again, not wanting to start a fight. Just trying to understand the change, and how primary/general relates.
