Trump Raises $10 Million for Re-Election Fundraiser. For the next 1200 days, Donald Trump is still president of the US, but he wants to stay there too. During a fundraiser for his re-election in 2020, Trump has already collected $ 10 million.
The donors meeting was held a few steps from the White House, in Trumps own Washington hotel. The guests paid according to Reuters press office $ 35,000 to be allowed to move.
Journalists were not welcome at dinner. According to a spokesman for the White House, it is a political meeting. “They chose to keep that separate.”
The money raised during the fundraiser goes to the re-election campaign of Trump, but also to the Republican party. Because there are multiple recipients, donors may give more than the maximum amount of $ 5400.
Trump has to pay his own company for the use of the room for the meeting. According to the donation rules, the hotel and the company of Trump may not make the room available for free.
