"When CNBC asked a Trump spokesperson precisely how much Trump had raised, the campaign did not reply."
Well, they're going to have to go public in 2 days and that's going to be interesting.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

They have to go public in 2 days? Explain.
There is a March 20 deadline to give some paperwork
https://www.fec.gov/updates/march-monthly-reporting-reminder-2024/
What if they just dont? What happens then?
Then we ask politely a second time. Maybe a strongly worded letter.
Whoa, whoa....it's a sternly worded memo THEN a strongly worded letter.
That's like jumping immediately to the triple-dog dare!
And if they ignore the triple-dog dare you ask? Then it's straight to the quadruple-dog dare!
Wake me up when they are threatening to put a committee together.
There's a fine, apparently.
Not that Trump pays those, either.
Do that too long, and judges start doing things like seizing assets.
I'll believe that when I see it, but it would be nice.
Agreed, but we'll find out soon. Deadline's in just six days.
Can’t pay if you’re broke.
Here's hoping.
Hehehe
The saddest thing is that the same people who would give Trump the shirt of their back will ignore homeless veterans
Louder!
Their reluctance stems, in part, from concerns that the RNC will use the money not to help elect Republicans, but to pay for Trump's extensive legal fees, sources said.
Ding ding ding!
Republican leaders insist they have no such plans.
Well, that's believable. Republicans are known for their honesty.
They may not but are they running the RNC now?
I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that donors are no longer interested in paying for the ever growing legal judgments against Trump. The whole "stable billionaire" narrative takes a bit of a hit when you always have your hand out asking for someone else to pay the bills from you breaking the rules.
Pony up, idiots, trump has to pay hookers and legal fees.
Small donor fatigue = already sucked them bone dry
/s
That’s binenomics for you right there. 4 years ago I was able to donate thousands to Trumps campaign but this year I can only donate tens. My gas and food bills are just too much. That’s why I’m continuing to donate and voting for Trump.
/s in case it’s not clear.
I'm sure they could use a pair of fairly priced sneakers?
Between red hat and golden sneakers, morons all over the nation have been covered in shit from head to toe. Literally.
“Anybody that makes a ‘Contribution’ to [Haley] from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp. We don’t want them, and will not accept them,” he wrote on Truth Social Jan. 24.
He probably felt Tough and Decisive while saying that, but now that the bridges have been burned and the fires are long since out, he might be second-guessing that statement. He’ll die before admitting he made a mistake, though.
He’ll die before admitting he made a mistake, though.
Stop getting my hopes up.
I wonder how many of those small donors from 2016 & 2020 are now dead from COVID given the shortfall.
A not insignificant number. COVID-19 probably impacted the 2020 election and 2021 special elections.
3-4%. The statistics don't care about politics.
But your lifestyle does impact how likely it is you die from covid. Poorer Trump voters are probably more likely to have a relatively unhealthy lifestyle; maybe more likely to smoke, perhaps less likely to do exercise, perhaps older? And I'm fairly certain that Republican voters are less likely to be vaccinated against covid.
Not sure what your point was exactly, but wanted to point out people absolutely did not die at the same rate across the board and political affiliation (and therefore the likelihood of being vaccinated) could definitely be a factor.
3-4% is higher than the global average by a nominal amount.
It’s equivalent to burning money 🔥
He can’t keep his yap shut and the money is just sailing West and neatly settling into E. Jean’s coffers. Over and over 🙌🏻😆😂
He has done so many scams on "small America," eventually they will be tapped out. When your base is underpaid and uneducated, they don't have a stable income.
The million- and billionaires will back a stable candidate. In 16' they didn't back him until he got in the White house. There is a reason people don't bet on the Charges to win the Superbowl.
Maybe donors could convince him to stop committing crimes?
