FEC campaign contribution limits exempt the candidate, so Trump can provide the match. It makes a lot of sense for him to structure his own contributions in the form of a match.
You could look at the total his campaign raised and the amount he contributed himself to get a sense of it. I'm guessing that's all publicly available information. But the match changes all the time, often there is no match, 1000% is not common, so it would be difficult to say precisely just from knowing the totals.
Any more info on this and how it works? Like they can boost your donation until you hit your own contribution limit? Wouldn't have thought something like that could be done.
Anyone know what that actually means? I'm honestly curious. There's no way it's getting matched 10x.

Does he actually match like that though?

I don't know, not sure who else it could be.
Whoever it is they are wealthy. If it were anyone else (I think) the matches would have to go a separate fund due to FEC individual limits ($2800).
Its the mega rich Trump donors that have already given their limit, legally they are allowed to add to our donation.
