Report says Trump's August campaign take was $40+ mil -- and he donated half of that.

I'm wondering why I haven't seen this reported anywhere else. This is from some local site in Texas.

New FEC filings show both Clinton and Trump had their best fundraising months yet in August.

Clinton raised nearly 60 million - and outspent Trump six to one on TV-ads.

Trump brought in over 40 million - half of which he donated himself.

1. To his favorite charity no doubt.

And we all know what that is.

3. He donated more than $20 million to his campaign, if this report is correct.

Which would show how much difficulty he's having in fundraising.

4. If that's a recent picture

he needs to lose a lot more than 15 pounds, so we know the physical is fake.

2. The old Hollywood saying "You NEVER put your own money into a film"

Trump is an idiot

5. This con man is going down! That's all that matters, let fools waste their money. nt

6. "Trump brought in over 40 million - half of which he donated himself."

So if we remove Trump's self donation, Trump's only fundraised $20 mil. compared to HRC's $60 mil.???

There is a significant donor enthusiasm gap if this report is accurate.

7. It probably came from his foundation.

8. Perhaps, but my point is, it didn't come from a non-Trump source interested in his candidacy.

$20 million raised from people other than Trump (or Trump's "foundation" since he's such a cheapskate), is pathetic.

10. That half Trump donated is calculateld as follows:

Labor for travel back and forth to attend rallies and Speechwriting. - Donald Trump $10,000,000 Trust me, Trust me.
Labor for developing Child Care proposal for presentation at Economic Forum - Ivanka Trump $5,000,000
Labor for calculating how many Skittles fit in a small bowl minus 3 times the risk of a terrorist attack - Donald Trump Jr. ($3,000,000) still working on it.
Labor for watching Baron while Melania shops - Eric Trump $7,000,000 (Hey it's good work if you can get it.)

Total Amount Donated for the month of August $20,000,000

9. He will just funnel it back to his own pocket.

Plus as much of the rest as he can. Also wonder if it was done as a loan?
