According to a review of campaign finance records, first reported by the Huffington Post, Trump’s campaign spent $169,758 on rent in July – up more than $133,000 from the $36,568 his campaign paid for the same space in March, when Trump was largely self-funding his campaign.

Trump had been scheduled to outline his immigration policies Thursday in Colorado.
Deporting the undocumented en masse came up in the fourth GOP primary debate, when Trump praised President Dwight Eisenhower’s deportation program, which Trump noted “moved a 1.5 million illegal immigrants out of this country”.
Trump pressed on with his commitment to this plan at hundreds of rallies where his supporters frequently cited Trump’s hardline stance on immigration as the rallying cry that drew them to Trump’s unconventional candidacy.
His remarks were the latest sign he is considering softening a position he has taken since the onset of his campaign. The Clinton team, meanwhile, has more than 700 staffers on payroll – seven times more than Trump.
Alvadaña dismissed Trump’s comments as a political ploy. “The Clintons have spent decades as insiders lining their own pockets and taking care of donors instead of the American people”, the Trump campaign said in a statement. In an August Washington Post/ABC News poll, almost 3 in 10 Republicans said they had an unfavourable view of Trump.
Trump’s staff also contracted during that time. She wants to gut immigration enforcement.
Right here in Leon County, the Democratic Executive Committee is sending out mailers with big pictures of Trump and Gov. Rick Scott, saying they “have done their damage in Florida”. “The immigration people do such a great job, but they have no leadership at the top”. “One need look no further for confirmation than Donald Trump’s own words and the TV ad released on Friday that’s being lauded by white supremacists”.
“Typically you see the nominee lift everyone up”, said Chris Schrimpf, a spokesman for Ohio Gov. John Kasich, one of Trump’s defeated primary rivals. Thus, Donald Trump made money off of running for president. On Sunday, when asked on CNN’s State of the Union if Trump would continue to support the forced removal of millions of undocumented immigrants, Trump’s newly minted campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said it was “to be determined”.
“I would not call it mass deportations”, Trump said, without hinting at whether he was rejecting the terminology or the policy. On Monday, he first suggested he was open to allowing some immigrants to stay, suggesting that he wanted a “fair, but firm” policy. After all, Trump secured the Republican nomination during this period and may have been gearing up for the general election. Her fundraising agreement spans 38 state and territory party groups and provided them at least $20.3 million last month, federal filings show.

When asked by Hannity if there was “any part of the law” he would change to accommodate law-abiding immigrants who have kids in the U.S., Trump replied: “There certainly can be a softening because we’re not looking to hurt people”, Trump said in his response.
