Donald Trump spent most of his campaign money on hats and t-shirts

Version 0 of 1. Donald Trump spent most of his campaign money on hats, stickers and t-shirts, according to his latest campaign finance report. Mr Trump's campaign spent $825,000 (£534,189) on the logo-emblazoned items sold on his website and routinely thrown to supporters at his campaign events, Reuters reports. The hats used in his campaign mostly feature the slogan "Make America Great Again". His next biggest item was for flights on his personal 757 jet, on which he spent more than $700,000 (£453,323). In typical presidential campaigns, top expenditures are usually payroll, mailings and consultations. However, those items did not feature largely on Mr Trump's report. Mr Trump's campaign raised nearly $4 million in the third quarter. In total, the campaign has raised $5.8 million and spent $5.6 million. Despite proclamations that he would self-fund his candidacy, Mr Trump still raked in unsolicited donations from nearly 74,000 people, who gave an average of $50.46. By contrast, Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton raised $30 million in the third quarter. Jeb Bush, once the Republican favorite, raised $13.4 million. Additional reporting by Reuters. |
