Trump fundraises off ‘liberal media’ attacks

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is looking to turn his beef with the media into campaign dollars.

The Trump campaign sent out a fundraising email from his son, Donald Trump, Jr., on Thursday asking for money to help beat back the “lies and spin” from the “liberal media.”

Since Mrs. [Hillary] Clinton’s coronation in Philadelphia, it has been a constant barrage.”

The fundraising appeal sets a goal of raising $7 million over the next seven days.

Trump proved last month that he can be a successful small-dollar fundraiser, hauling in more than $80 million with an average donation of $62.

The Trump campaign has clashed with the media throughout his presidential run. 

The campaign has barred several outlets from covering his events and this month began sending out a daily “Media Bias Offender” email to highlight outlets it believes have been unfair.
