August fundraising numbers are in, and it’s not even close.

Donald Trump’s campaign announced his August numbers Wednesday, and they were quite proud of their $130 million haul. “These fundraising numbers from August are a reflection of that movement and will propel President Trump’s America First movement back to the White House,” said Brian Hughes, a senior Trump campaign advisor.

They had $327 million at the start of August, and ended the month with a hefty $295 million in the bank. That means they spent about $162 million that month. Regardless, Trump’s campaign will have plenty of money to compete through November. But interestingly, their August numbers were actually a downturn from July, when they raised $138.7 million. That doesn’t speak well for his campaign’s enthusiasm.

So if $130 million “is a reflection of that movement that will propel” Trump to victory, what would you call the “more than $300 million” that Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign raised in August?

1. Very nice numbers indeed, but

Is there any way for his campaign to make money and not report it? He is a criminal after all with no respect for right and wrong.

I’m doing my part for VP and Coach. The end of election season will be a boon to our personal economy but none of us can afford for him to get elected.

2. I know very little about funding in us elections as I am in Canada.

Thank for all you give. I know it is not easy for many.

3. Love You My Friend. Love your posts

Been to Canada once. Ottawa 1986. Beautiful City. Friendly people.

As we all know dealing with trump is like dealing with the Mafia. If he can cheat he will.

4. That is where I am. People are nice except for the evil ones. Went to Boston with my mom

when I was 23 or 24. We found Americans so friendly. We ate at Sam's American Cafe, around the corner from the Ritz, and the table beside us was literally joining into our table conversation when they heard something that interested them. We ate there again we were so impressed. Canadians are too polite to do that.

5. Money isn't everything in presidential elections---- BUT, it is certainly better to have more of it

than to have the other guy having more of it!!!!

(After the great haul in the first 30 days, $300 million for August is just great!)

Meanwhile, the Trump campaign is ceasing to contest Virginia, Minnesota, and New Hampshire....!
(They had hopes of flipping those states before President Biden withdrew from the election)
