NEW: After his less-than-packed rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, President Trump was so visibly unhappy that a print-out of sycophantic tweets couldn’t cheer him up. He complained to top advisers about being put in a position where the media could mock him. https://trib.al/76R6RGG
Two sources said the president suggested there would be major consequences for campaign staff if this wasn’t “fixed” and if he saw too many empty seats at his next coronavirus-era mega-rally https://trib.al/76R6RGG
But the lackluster rally attendance comes as his re-election campaign faces another growing problem: his fundraising http://trib.al/76R6RGG
As Trump was on stage in Tulsa, his campaign filed its most recent financial report with the FEC, revealing that it had brought in just under $25 million last month, well short of the nearly $37 million in receipts reported by the Biden campaign http://trib.al/76R6RGG
Even as a coronavirus-induced recession hammered American pocketbooks, Biden’s small-dollar fundraising has exploded. In March, an aide said, his average donation was $40; by April it was $32, and by May it was $30. http://trib.al/76R6RGG
