FEC records identify just 3 of the 68 primetime speakers (excluding Trump) as having made contributions to Donald Trump’s campaign, joint fundraising committees, or major super PACs in the 2016 cycle as of June 30, which includes the latest data available.
That means the 65 other primetime speakers at the RNC either didn’t donate to the pro-Trump operation, or they gave $200 or less. Donors who have given below that level are not identified on FEC filings, so we can’t know whether the speakers donated small sums to Trump. (We also included donations by a speaker’s spouse when we could nail them down.)
That may be no surprise in the case of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), whose support of Trump isn’t even verbal. But 21 of the speakers were glad to open their wallets for other Republican candidates and committees, just not for Trump.
The speaker who gave the least of the three donors was Kerry Woolard, general manager of Trump Winery; she gave $250 to the Trump campaign. Woolard spoke on Tuesday.
The other two donors — Tom Barrack, the multimillionaire CEO of Colony Capital, and Phil Ruffin, a Las Vegas billionaire casino mogul — gave the lion’s share of the cash, $920,400 combined. Barrack will take the mic tonight in Cleveland.
All but $5,400 of that money went to the Trump Victory Committee, the joint-fundraising committee that raises money for both Trump and the Republican National Committee. Trump Victory raised $25.7 million through the end of June. Ruffin also provided $1 million in seed money to the Trump super PAC Make America Great Again, but that was refunded after Trump disavowed the organization and it shut down.
Here’s a table of what, or whether, tonight’s speakers have donated:
The numbers raise questions about how much the speakers, ostensibly chosen by Trump, actually support the billionaire mogul. Some may speak more out of hatred for the Democratic nominee, 
Contributions to Trump and supporting super PACs are through June 30; contributions to other committees are through May 31.
