Hats cost money

COOPER: You always say you’re self-funding. How much do you think your campaign has cost – in the past you said $25 million.

TRUMP: I can tell you, I’d say I’m in right now for – now, I’m in for about $35 million right now.

COOPER: Okay.

TRUMP: We take the small loans, the people that send $17.50, or $250, even $1,000…

COOPER: And you solicit those on your website.

TRUMP: No, I sell hats and shirts and…

COOPER: No, but you do solicit donations on your website?

TRUMP: No, I don’t really think so.

COOPER: Yes, you do. You have two spots (ph), where you do.

TRUMP: Okay, whatever. Whatever. It’s peanuts.

(LAUGHTER)

COOPER: It’s not peanuts; it’s $7 million – it’s a lot of money.

TRUMP: I’ll tell you what, what I’ve done is I’m in for about $35 million.

COOPER: It’s about a third of your campaign is funded by other people.

TRUMP: No it’s not. No, it’s not, not a third. Whatever the hats are, they also cost something.
