Trump has been lying about "self-funding" since the earliest days of the primary campaign. The media let it slide and gave that fact little coverage because the donations were from individuals and for relatively small amounts. The small amounts,however, added up to 7.5 million, and that was months ago. Coincidentally, the "small" donations are on par with what Trump has paid out to his own businesses. One might suspect that the donations collected from his web-site from individuals found a direct line of travel to his pockets.
