Trump: If RNC Pulls Resources from Me, I Could Always Stop Funding the GOP

Donald Trump denied reports that RNC Chair Reince Priebus threatened to pull resources from him, but said tonight that if they did, he could always just stop funding the GOP.

On Fox News tonight, Trump repeatedly bragged to Eric Bolling about how much he’s funding his own campaign and how much he’s raising for the GOP, dismissing those dozens of Republicans who are demanding the RNC stop giving Trump party funds and instead focus on down-ballot races.

Trump said that while the report is inaccurate, “if it is true, that’s okay too, because all I’ll have to do is stop funding the Republican Party.”

Bolling, trying to walk Trump off that cliff, pointed out that the RNC has a lot of data and resources, asking him if all that would be at risk.

Trump responded, “I’ll let you know on the 9th––November 9th.”
