Donald Trump’s supporters gave the Republican nominee 11 million reasons to smile and it’s all thanks to the liberal media.
After nonstop negative coverage about Trump’s measly $1.3 million cash on hand for the presidential race, the billionaire sent out his first fundraising email. Supporters then opened their wallets in droves, reported CNN.

The fundraising email raised $5 million alone. That doesn’t include another $2 million from Trump’s matching contribution, RNC Spokesman Sean Spicer said.

“We are incredibly excited by the outpouring of support from the grassroots supporters who want to see this country experience real change,” Hope Hicks, a Trump spokeswoman, said.
Eric Trump said that the Trump team raised another $6 million at a high-dollar fundraiser in New York City. That brought the total to $13 million after self-funding, low dollar, and high-dollar donations.
“The Donald” also helped his campaign by announcing Thursday that he was extinguishing the $50 million loan he gave to his campaign to finance his primary run.
“Mr. Trump has fully extinguished (terminated) this loan per his commitment. Therefore, he has personally invested in excess of $50 million dollars [sic] in the future of our country,” the Trump campaign wrote on their website.
“Unlike the all talk, no action politicians that have failed the American people for far too long, Mr. Trump is not beholden to the special interests that have corrupted Washington, D.C. Mr. Trump will continue to put America and our people first,” the campaign wrote.
This is a dramatic turnout for the Republican nominee’s campaign after he came under heavy scrutiny by the mainstream media for his lack of fundraising.
#TrumpSoPoor he can no longer afford exclamation points. Sad.

Wait, it took a really crappy fundraising report to get “top Republicans” worried about Trump? What, did they just wake up out of a coma?

All considered, it appears that Trump hasn’t really done anything since clinching the nomination. Not in battlegrounds, not fundraising, etc

JUST IN: Trump raised only about $3.2 million in May. https://t.co/BNCc7jidvQ

The liberal media may hate the billionaire, but not nearly as much as Trump supporters hate them. The more they attack the Republican nominee, the more his fans will support him.
