WASHINGTON — President Trump’s re-election campaign and the Republican National Committee on Tuesday said they had raised $105 million in the second quarter of this year, dwarfing what President Barack Obama raised in the equivalent period during his re-election campaign.
The campaign and the R.N.C. said they had a combined $100 million in cash on hand, and that they had raised more money online in the second quarter than in the first half of 2018. The staggering total figure can be plowed into television and digital advertising, get-out-the-vote efforts and other activities related to the 2020 election.
Mr. Trump and his committees raised $54 million, they said, and the R.N.C. raised $51 million. The campaign officials did not say how many individual donors had contributed, or how many gave money in increments of $200 or less. The official report, which will include spending, will be filed with the Federal Election Commission on July 15.

552, let me slow it down for you. Conservative media has been playing up the "Trump [crowds/donations/etc.] are bigger than Obama" for a minute now. My point; #1 its a pretty dumb comparison since his competition is NOT Obama, #2 a look at the numbers, in terms of votes cast and approval rankings, show that he indeed is NOT more popular than Obama was as President to date. These are facts supported directly by the numbers so spare me the knee jerk reaction ("liberal grrrrrr"). My comment is not Anti-Trump, its anti-media; stop with the bogus story lines simply meant to entertain and influence your emotions rather than inform you.
