Tom Ferguson – How Money Won Trump the White House

Summary:
Amid ongoing investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, a new paper by INET Research Director Tom Ferguson, together with Paul Jorgensen and Jie Chen, provides an alternative explanation of Trump’s win: a surge of cash. Late infusions of big money from private equity, casinos, and other far-right contributors; a remarkable wave of donations from small donors; and substantial infusions from the candidate himself proved crucial to Trump’s victory, the paper finds. The original research illuminates a neglected yet crucial narrative of Trump’s rise. It wasn’t Comey or the Russians. Trump prevailed because his campaign carefully targeted key states with late infusions of big money from private equity, casinos, and other far right contributors, a remarkable wave of donations
