Nope. Don’t believe it.

Just yesterday he blew off a group of potential donors, CEOs, top execs, all that, who’d flown out to Cleveland to meet with him. Just didn’t show up—he’d gone back to New York and just skipped out on the meeting. Said it before, will say it again, he’s like a 14-year-old who sits and watches TV when he’s supposed to be mowing the lawn. Most immature septuagenarian in America.

Probably a typo…they meant to write: $21.90.

I believe these totals because they’re the official report. Falsifying this can mean people go to jail.

Of course this is less than half of what they unofficially reported 2 weeks ago.

Are you sure that he forgave the loans? Line 17(d), Column B, showing total cycle contributions by candidate, is only $2.4 million, while 19(a), loans from candidate, is $47.5 million.

I don’t believe these totals because I think Trump has elevated himself to Godlike status in his mind and whatever slight compunction about breaking the law he may have had has been fired. It’s the reality distortion field now. He is already the emperor, those laws are for losers. He’s thinking, come and get me.

I called this last month… better, but way short of what he needs & doesn’t compare with the Clinton machine. And after tomorrow night, he can only raise money for the general. That’s where Clinton’s cash on hand advantage really shines through: her apparatus w built with primary money and everything she’s raising off Cleveland goes against primary limits. She’ll be able to tap the well again after Philly.

Unclear from this article if the Clinton numbers are form May or June (it seems like from May the way it is worded). Would be good to know what the June numbers are for Clinton and the DNC to compare.

Trump’s fundraising falls behind for another month…

… this is not ‘narrowing the gap’.

Holy shit, I hadn’t read that anywhere… the google brought up this Fortune article:

Eventually, though, the speeches ran out and Trump never showed. He had, they found out later, unexpectedly flown back to New York overnight with no word on when he might return. The group was led out to the football field, where NFL champions the Cleveland Browns play, to take pictures before they were let go with no information about when and if a third meeting might take place.

The Browns NFL champions? LOL, get your sports right you doofus.

Sorta reminds me of how Sanders was always in the process of “narrowing the gap.”

Wait, show me where my math is off:

$20.2 million in the bank now - $1.29 million a month ago = $18.91 million

But he brought in $21.9 million, so he only spent $3 million in the month? That’s not possible, is it?

In comparison, politico reported that Sec. Clinton spent $34.5 million during the month.

Trump raised less in May + June than HRC raised in any single month of 2016. And this was after he clinched the nomination!

Plus, let’s not forget that Trump himself kicked in $2+ million - probably because he didn’t want his number to be under $20 mill.

Of course it is - none of the networks refuse his calls, so he doesn’t take out any ads at all. He’s got no campaign staff across the country - fewer campaign staffers than there are states. The RNC’s doing all the spending.

Ok, made it to page 9000 of the report. He actually did forgive the loans.

Did it say on what day he forgave the loans? Because I tend to think it would’ve been the last possible moment so he could suck down as much of the interest as possible.
