Trumps 1st Giant Lie SELF FUNDING BS to Win Nomination Hedge Funds $70 Million

Wall Street Fundraiser Says Donald Trump Raised $70 million

With far more raised from hedge funds than has been earlier reported. ... A $70 million haul would make July Trump's best fund raising

Scaramucci says that other notable hedge funders who have donated significant sums to Trump’s campaign efforts include Carl Icahn, Tom Barrack, and Stephen Feinberg. In fact, Trump’s chief fundraiser and head of his national finance committee, billionaire Steven Mnuchin, is himself a hedge fund manager.

Scaramucci says hedge fund managers have donated as much as $25 million to the Trump campaign and political groups supporting the candidate, with around 20% of the money Trump brought in July coming from hedge funds.

Trump played into the millions being dumped into campaigns as if he was not going to take the money, people have been snookered by this clown who is a professional salesman of lies. Trusting trump would destroy this country more than Bush and thats saying something.
