Trump promised to spend $100 million on his campaign but so far has given $56 million
Another lie about self-funding a campaign by a conman who say he’s worth north of $10 billion.
Trump, on the other hand, had not scheduled any fundraisers after Oct. 19 for his joint committees with the Republican National Committee, with which Trump’s campaign has had a fraught relationship.
All of it adds up to a massive financial and infrastructure advantage for Clinton and her allied committees, which had dramatically outspent Trump and his forces over the course of the campaign on everything from television advertising to swing state field offices and staffing.
…Trump, a billionaire real estate showman who largely self-funded his GOP primary campaign and has taken to boasting that he would spend $100 million on his campaign before Election Day, was nowhere near that mark as of the period covered by Thursday’s reports. He donated $31,000 to his campaign during the first three weeks of this month to bring his self-funding total to $56.1 million for the campaign.

Perhaps ironically, though, Trump has raised a substantially higher percentage of his cash from small donors than Clinton. The candidates each brought in around $8.5 million this month from donors who have given $200 or less. Small donors tend to give online, often in response to appeals pegged to news events in the campaign.
