Trump rakes up Clinton’s Indian donations issue
In a statement, the Trump campaign said the information provided in the booklet is in-depth summary of the top 50 facts about Clinton’s record that were detailed by Trump in a major speech early this week in NY.
“After self-funding his primary election, Mr. Trump and the campaign have assembled an exceptional fundraising operation, which in recent days has been overwhelmed with contributions for the Republican Party”, the campaign said in a statement Thursday.
Paulson accused Trump, who has touted his business acumen as a real estate developer during his campaign, of taking “imprudent risk” and then disavowing his debts when ventures fail. He’s now forgiven that loan.
He also took aim at Trump’s opposition to trade agreements, which Paulson said have created U.S.jobs and fostered innovation and competitiveness.
“Mr. Trump will continue to ensure the campaign has all of the resources necessary to defeat Crooked Hillary Clinton and the Democrats in November”. Trump’s campaign showed $1.3 million on hand, compared to Clinton’s $42.5 million.
Amid concerns about his fundraising abilities, Trump has vowed that he’d be willing to self-fund his general election campaign, as well, if he needs to.
“We’ve really ramped up the effort this month”, Mnuchin said. Separately, a high-dollar fundraiser held Tuesday night in NY in conjunction with the Republican National Committee brought in more than $6 million, according to people familiar with the figures.
Since Trump sent an email Tuesday asking supporters to contribute online, more than $6 million has come in, finance chairman Steve Mnuchin told CNBC.
Munition also said Trump does not need to match Clinton dollar for dollar in campaign fundraising because so much of his outreach comes online, where he has 20 million Twitter followers, and from free media coverage generated by his numerous television news interviews. “This is going to be a nontraditional campaign”, Mnuchin said. “This is going to be a campaign driven by social media and driven by free TV”.
