Trump CRUSHES Fundraising GOALS and REJECTS Money From Koch Brothers
Donald Trump IS the “art of the deal,” and he’s making good on that moniker by crushing fundraising goals.
Trump is also not compromising on his standards and turned down a meeting with the Bush-backing Koch brothers.
I turned down a meeting with Charles and David Koch. Much better for them to meet with the puppets of politics, they will do much better!

From CNBC:
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump characterized his fundraising as having “crushed” its original expectations, and pointedly rejected the support of David and Charles Koch, two traditionally influential GOP billionaire donors.
In a new fundraising solicitation sent to supporters on Saturday, Trump—who pledged during the primaries to self-fund his campaign, but reneged on that promise after securing the GOP nomination—said that his campaign goal had already met a first match goal of $1 million. He vowed to personally match new contributions made through July 31 up to $2 million.
That said, Trump basically confirmed reports of a rift with the billionaire Koch brothers, whose financial support of conservative-leaning causes have earned them the scorn of liberal-minded politicians. Earlier this week, Politico reported that the men, turned off by Trump’s rhetoric and policies, brushed aside efforts to meet with the GOP nominee.
Yet on Saturday, Trump insisted that he, in fact, had spurned the Kochs’ entreaties. The real estate mogul dismissed them as little more than political puppet masters just as they were poised to meet with other Republican donors at a retreat in Colorado.

Trump did what he said he would do, funded his primaries for President. He knew that if he won he would have to work with the RNC to help raise funds for the general election and the down ticket. He did not renege on enything. This writer is a spinner.
A campaign is from start to finish, he only funded himself to half time and is now asking for donations. Still under spent Clinton by a long shot considering the poll %’s
Trump only committed to funding himself through the Primaries. He stated that once in the General he would accept help from the RNC.
That would be the back stabbing RNC, AKA Rino’s.
They keep,trying to lie like they do but can’t take him down cause he does not lie go trump .
