He is NOT self-funded. He IS taking money from the American people. I wish he would, at least, be honest about that.
Oh, he's taking a TON of money from the banks and corporations he's in bed with too. Just because they arent directly contributing to his campaign doesn't mean anything. Anyone who thinks this billionaire clown gives two craps about the American people are nuts. He only cares about promoting himself and his brand and making himself and his friends richer and more powerful.

Trump has his groupies so fooled. As John Oliver points out in the video in post #6 of this thread, Trump loaned his own campaign $17.5 million and has personally given just $250,000. And that's important, because up until the convention he can pay himself back for the loan with campaign funds.

We aren't listening! Look at the polls. Trump will triumph tomorrow again!

You beat me to this, I keep trying to point out that Trump has LOANED his campaign the bulk of it's funding money, not donated it. He has donated in the neighborhood of $250,000 - $280,000. Not a small amount, but not exactly self funding either. I would love to know the interest rates of those loans. Trump is doing what Trump does, playing fast and loose with loopholes and definitions.

So, Trump would be beholding to himself? This is no surprise either since I knew he was loaning money to his campaign.

What is so funny is that the anti-Trumps keep coming up with "bombshells" that were in the news a few months ago. Obviously, anyone that is well informed already knows the ins and outs of their candidates.

Most of these "stories" are now being regurgitated and like "throw up" in general, just aren't anything that people have a desire for.

I guess Trump supporters are just well informed about their candidate. I would suggest others spend their time trying to figure out why their candidates are doing so poorly.

Super Tuesday!
