Most of Trump’s Donations Come from Retirees

Philip Bump: “By aggregating the contributions for each identified job, we get an interesting picture of how Trump’s early financial support has changed over the past eight years. In the first two quarters of his 2016 bid, nearly 75 percent of what Trump raised was contributed by Trump himself. In the first three quarters of his current bid, he has raised more than five times as much, without a dime coming directly from his own bank account.”

“Instead, more than half of the $23 million-plus he’s raised has come from people who identify their occupation as ‘retired.'”
