“President Trump has raised about $1.9 billion from an array of corporate donors to help finance his political committees, White House construction projects and celebrations of the nation’s upcoming 250th anniversary,” Axios reports.
“No president has raised so much money, so quickly, for so many different reasons. And there’s more to come.”
Said one source close to Trump: “The midterms are paid for… He’s been at this since taking office and he’s not stopping.”
