The hashtag started trending as people on social media mocked [the billionaire businessman](http://time.com/4376249/donald-trumps-campaign-cycles-6-million-into-trump-companies/?xid=homepage "undefined") for his comparatively small fundraising draw. Trump’s Democratic rival Hillary Clinton far surpassed him in fundraising last month. Trump’s campaign raised just $3 million in May and started June with $1.3 million in cash on hand, even though Trump became the presumptive nominee in May, which has boosted fundraising for candidates in the past. Clinton’s campaign raised more than $26 million in May, the Associated Press reported. She entered the month of June with $42 million in cash on hand. Trump and the Republican National Committee, combined, raised about $18.6 million in May. In a statement on Tuesday, Trump justified the comparative lack of funding, saying his campaign could have “unlimited” cash if necessary because he would fund it himself. > [](https://twitter.com/ElectProject/status/745105100067078144) > [](https://twitter.com/jawillie/status/745216539033374720) > [](https://twitter.com/JetSettersFlyIn/status/745103106610888704) > [](https://twitter.com/TriviumPaolo/status/745229646124310528) > [](https://twitter.com/MrTommyCampbell/status/745126581681557504) > [](https://twitter.com/JeffersonObama/status/745081992241250304) > [](https://twitter.com/AlbertsonB2/status/745093916580450304) > [](https://twitter.com/majtague/status/745127789913726976) > [](https://twitter.com/eshap/status/745241935372296193) > [](https://twitter.com/andrewmhickey/status/745201142993321984) > [](https://twitter.com/Clarknt67/status/745127717335490560) > [](https://twitter.com/NumbersMuncher/status/745090570733817857) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4376481/donald-trump-fundraising-hashtag/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4376481/donald-trump-fundraising-hashtag/"},"headline":"#TrumpSoPoor Mocks Donald Trump's Low Fundraising Numbers","datePublished":"2016-06-21T15:33:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T22:44:37.712Z","description":"\"#TrumpSoPoor he can no longer afford exclamation points.
