Trump Campaign and R.N.C. Raised $131 Million in June, a New High

President Trump on Wednesday announced by far his biggest cash haul of the 2020 campaign in June, bringing in $131 million between his campaign and the Republican National Committee, showing that his money machine continues to hum even as he has slipped in the polls.

The monthly haul represented a spike of $57 million more than Mr. Trump had raised in May, which was the first month that former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. had outraised the president.

The Trump campaign said that it now had $295 million in the bank, a formidable financial advantage entering the summer months, and that it had raised nearly $950 million over the last two years.

Mr. Trump spent aggressively as well. The figures released by his campaign show that he spent about $100 million in June.

and would fund his own campaign.

His supporters fell for it. And now he's got them sending in their hard-earned nickels and dimes to support his crapshow. And they're falling all over themselves to do it.

what did he spend it on?

A couple of lame Biden's senile ads?

Sure isn't helping his poll numbers.
