Trump has received hardly any money to fund his campaign up to now- being self funded is what he loves to brag about.
But what about the general election? It will cost an estimated $1 billion to run a campaign for the general election. He is rich, but he doesn't have $1 billion lying around to spend on campaigning. Isn't he going to have to start accepting money sooner or later?

>been flying around the US for months
>private jet
>cost him around 10 mn $ to rent the venues
He has basically been doing the whole "tour the country for the campaign" thing since last year. I think he can still keep it up.
Yes he will have to accept it. The GOP is already putting cash together for the run. He has said in his speeches that in the general he'd have to accept GOP help. It won't influence his decision making (claim.) I tend to beleive him. He is rebranding the GOP to something that can win. The least they can do is chip in.

BTW I live near DC and listen to poli stations all day. It's less about ideas and more about the machine, if that makes sense. So these are open facts of what's happening. The second part of my post is opinion.
>>72211227
I see. So irregardless of who the nominee is the GOP will be helping him out financially?

How much do you think he's getting from the DONATE button?

The thing is though, things like flights and venues don't cost him like they do other people.
His flights are on his private plane and he puts so many butts in the seats it covers the costs of the locations he's renting out.
People want to provide him services for free because Trump is good for business. And I'm not talking about when he's president, I mean right now hosting Trump, shilling Trump, etc. gets you customers.
Hell he doesn't have to spend a thing on television even. If you play like Trump you can compete without the financial backing.

trump isn't an idiot like bernie sanders. hes not gonna blow all that money on useless tv ads (bernie outspent shillary by millions and still lost new york). i think trump spent just 64k in new york and won in a landslide, compared to 6m+ with democrats.
trump could dump all that money on actual ground game, getting people in more remote areas involved, doing everything to maximize voter turnout.

Wrong.
>>72211331
>irregardless
Trump will fix you
he'll fix all of you
He smashes the GOP without spending despite them trying their best
Why would it be any different
Protip: The media gives him free advertising, every time he appears on a news network rating spikes
He doesn't need to spend to win
>>72211331
Irregardless is not a word
>>72211803
You're right, he doesn't have $1 billion at all.
He is a libtard. Hope he doesn't win or gets killed.

so tolerant, cuck.

> bernie shills thinking this will work
>>72210782
The media will continue to pay for his campaign
>>72210782
He's already said in an interview that he won't self fund through the general.
>>72211418
He's said not alot, he pretty much ouright said people donating are nice and thoughtful but doesn't really help him. I think he might have been trying to brag though, he's sold a lot of fucking hats I know that...
