Trump Offers to Match Campaign Donations

Donald Trump “emailed supporters a fundraising plea in which he vowed to match up to $2 million in donations in the next 48 hours, following a fundraising report filed late Monday that showed he had just $1.3 million in the bank at the end of May,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Tuesday’s fundraising email suggests Mr. Trump is unnerved by the substantial financial lead Mrs. Clinton holds over him. But donating up to $2 million next month to his campaign would not be a real departure for Mr. Trump, who loaned his campaign $2.2 million in May.”

1. Match or "loan?"

According to FEC reports, Trump hasn't donated anything to his campaign yet. Only "loaned" money, taken a salary, and made sure his children were paid well.

Over $4000 to his son's wine company is my favorite of all his "expenses."
