The Trump Campaign has raised a whopping $100 million through small donations in October, an "amazing milestone" which his campaign believes highlights the groundswell of support for the Republican presidential nominee.

"Hitting a 100 million dollar goal in October is an amazing milestone for the campaign as it shows how Trump's message is resonating with millions of voters across the country," said Brad Parscale, digital director of the Trump Campaign.

The massive haul of $100 million is backed by more than 1.6 million small dollar donations, up 151 per cent from September.

Trump's campaign is fuelled by the incredible support of millions of Americans giving generously towards a movement that will 'Make America Great Again' while that of his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton continues to prop up her empty candidacy with money from special interests and Wall Street elites, the campaign alleged.
 
"We have seen significant growth in our fundraising online, just as we see growth in our poll numbers. These metrics and others highlight the groundswell of support that will make Donald J Trump the 45th President of the United States," said Parscale.
