CNN claims Trump campaign raised $51,000,000 in June

[BlueNoMatterWho]

I don't believe it's that high. The statement coming over the wires states the following:

"Donald Trump's campaign says its supporters donated $26 million in June, plus $3.8 million contributed by Trump himself" - statement

1. Got mah cypherin' stick. Mmm that don't add up

Not questioning you. Wolf just reads whatever comes up in the TelePrompTer.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

3. Agreed. I believe the actual numbers come out on the 15th.

2. What the heck ever happened to "self funding?"

The man is so full of shit.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

4. I recall him stating many times during the primaries that money from the party would "kick in".

During the general.

5. He stopped that in February or March

Not that anyone cared to report it.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

6. To clarify, CNN and WashPo are reporting he raised $26 mil for his campaign and $25 mil for the GOP.

For $51 million total. That makes more sense.

9. Does Trump have to give up some IRS taxes soon?

[BlueNoMatterWho]

10. He should! What does he have to hide? Although he's not legally obligated to do so.

I don't think.

11. That's combined with the RC... his number is 28ish... Hillary raised over 70 million and tRumps

... numbers are about where rMoneys were in 2012.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

12. Correct. And now CNN is claiming $55 million. They say Agent Orange contributed $4 mil himself.

[Kingofalldems]

13. Hillary raised 41% more than Trump!!

I can't believe it's that high!

15. You can't tell me where I can respond.

I suggest you go to the admins if you have a problem.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

20. Will do if it continues.

[Kingofalldems]

22. I just can't figure out why you seem to defend Trump so much.

Just asking.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

23. I detest Trump. I joined this board because I felt we as Democrats needed to come together in Nov.

[lpbk2713]

16. Whatever they might have raised, it's all for naught.

He will go down in an embarrassing defeat ...
assuming he even makes it past the convention.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

21. What a waste of money! 400,000 contributors?

[BlueNoMatterWho]

25. Didn't he have something like just $1 million cash on hand last month?

[Kingofalldems]

17. Whoa! Check out this thread:

He won't be raising money for too long.

This is explosive news!

18. the media wants trump....nothing less will do

[Rex]

19. lulz

SO that means he will be charging the GOP 101 million dollars in June!

I cannot believe how stupid and desperate the GOP has become, to hedge all their bets on a guy STEALING from his own campaign!



LOVE IT!

[spanone]

24. 'self-funding' another myth

[Doodley]

26. That just goes to show the huge support Trump has

for his nasty, bigoted, divisive agenda. We live in a world in which tens of millions of people and at least some big donors want to put a racist in office. We cannot take anything for granted.

[anigbrowl]

27. No it doesn't. CNN is reporting on the claim

The basis of their report is the Trump campaign's filing with the FEC. To say that 'CNN claims...' would mean that CNN conducted their own investigation and made a claim independently of the Trump campaign. If you want accuracy in media, practice what you preach.
