Trump posts $42 million in huge first quarter fundraising haul
Quote:
President Trump has raised more than $42 million in the first quarter of 2017 for his 2020 re-election bid, outpacing his predecessor's donations by two and a half times. Trump raked in $42.6 million between the Republican National Party and two joint fundraising committees from Jan. 1 through March 31. Former President Barack Obama and his Democratic counterparts raised $15.8 million in the first quarter of his first term in 2009, according to new Federal Election Commission filings and party officials.
The majority of donations were $200 or less and flowed in from email solicitations to support Trump's agenda.
However, Trump and his fundraising groups received 250,000 contributions from new donors.
I'd much rather see him focusing on this term than campaigning for the next one.
It's interesting that the one and only accomplishment Trump has so far is that he has raised more money for himself since arriving at the White House, isn't it? He and Ivanka are raking in the $$$ by cozying up to the Chinese (I guess currency manipulators are okay as long as he is making money off of them, huh?) and pocketing millions of taxpayer dollars every weekend at his Florida resort. With Trump, it's all about the Benjamins, and nothing else.
Governing? That's for suckers. Show him the money!
Sure--that's what we want -- a corrupt president who promised to drain the swamp, spending his time fundraising immediately following his inauguration, and who has accomplished pretty much nothing. And the OP thinks this is a good thing?
