| Trump makes fundraising push | |
| In an effort to goose fundraising, Donald Trump has vowed to match donations in the next 48 hours up to $2m, “personally”. | |
| The email is goofy bordering on self-parodic in the Trump way. The email boasts that it is the first fundraising email the Trump campaign has ever sent and predicts that it will be “the most successful introductory fundraising email in modern political history”: | |

| More disturbing for Trump supporters, perhaps, was the amount of money flowing directly from the campaign to Trump companies and family members. Trump’s single biggest campaign expense in May was a payment of $423,371.70 to Mar-a-Lago, his Florida resort. More than $1m went to his companies or to his family, out of less than $7m spending total.
