Trump: I Want to Raise $1B for the GOP
May 4, 2016
Donald Trump on Wednesday said he wants to raise $1 billion or more for the GOP before the presidential election.
“We’re going to try to raise over $1 billion,” he told host Lester Holt on “NBC Nightly News."
Trump stressed that any money raised would be used to help all Republicans, and not just himself. “Really, I won’t be asking for money for myself, I’ll be asking money for the party,” he said. “It’s something we’re going to start on right away.”
(How Selfless...)

Trump Says 'No Reason' to Raise $1 Billion for Campaign.
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump distanced himself from his own fundraising estimate of $1 billion, refusing to commit to collecting even half that amount, and saying his campaign didn't need much money to win the White House.
Trump, who has held just two major fundraising events since agreeing three weeks ago to help the party raise cash, said he would rely instead more on his own star power as a former reality-TV personality to earn free media, and has no specific goals for how much money his campaign needs.
"There’s no reason to raise that," Trump said about raising $1 billion. "I just don’t think I need nearly as much money as other people need because I get so much publicity.
I get so many invitations to be on television.
I get so many interviews, if I want them."
(Reminds me of the tale of the man who (allegedly) dressed as a woman to sneak on to one of the Titanic's few remaning lifeboats.)
