Even trump's kids haven't donated to his campaign

[Jacque67 7,328]

less than two weeks until the election, Donald Trump has amassed an impressive army of small donors, fueling his bid with individual contributions of $200 or less. But noticeably absent from the list of contributors is basically anyone with the last name Trump, many of the surrogates who represent The Donald on national television, and members of his own campaign staff.

According to a review of Federal Election Commission filings by The Daily Beast, only one of Trumps children showed up on a list of itemized receipts for the campaign: Eric. On Sept. 7, 2016, Eric Trump appears to have contributed $376.20 listed only as meeting expense: meals. It appears that money was later refunded. Eric Trump did not respond to a request for comment about the transaction.

In recent weeks, Kushner has served as an all-purpose fixer for the campaign. According to sources, he recruited ­Clinton-era CIA director James Woolsey to advise Trump on national security. Kushners access to Trump has caused friction with senior advisers who have chafed at his lack of experience. According to one adviser, Kushner told pollster Tony Fabrizio during the convention that the campaign didnt need to conduct focus groups.  I can tell from the applause whats working,  Kushner said, according to this source. Kushner, through a spokesperson, denied having said this, but it is in keeping with the go-with-your-gut approach of the Trump campaign. According to the adviser, Trump rejected television ads on Benghazi and the economy that tested the best with focus groups. I know what works, Trump told his team. (According to a source, Trump ad-maker Rick Reed quietly withdrew from the campaign in October.)

The merits of focus groups aside, Kushner definitely likes data. He and Brad Parscale, a digital strategist who got into Trumpworld by designing websites for the Trump children, began ramping up the campaigns data operation before the convention. A recent Bloomberg Businessweek profile of the campaigns data team, which according to a campaign source Kushner cooperated with, portrays Kushner as a social-media innovator. Trump knows nothing about it; this is Jareds thing, a senior adviser told me. Jared was smart enough to know the key to power was money. He set the data operation up to raise money.

Now Kushner is looking to create his own piece of the family business with a new media venture. The campaign launched a nightly newscast on Facebook called Trump Tower Live that many people see as a trial balloon for an eventual Trump TV. The broadcast has a decidedly public-access feel but adopts many of the elements of cable news: It features a panel of guests and a crawl of pro-Trump headlines across the bottom of the screen. Around the office, they joke that if Trump TV comes to fruition, Conway could host The Kellyanne File.
