It's inaccurate because he is taking money. Doesn't matter if it's even 99.9% self funded, it's still not 100%. And doesn't it kinda make him an ass to take money from people when he has enough money for 10 campaigns?

How many times have you seen an advertisement or any piece of media begging for donations towards Trump's campaigns? If ever, it isn't often at all.
Literally every other thread here does that for Sanders:
https://www.reddit.com/r/sandersforpresident (subreddit was purchased by someone affiliated with his campaign BTW)
I'm not saying that's wrong, I'm saying that it opens him up to a certain type of vulnerability that Trump isn't susceptible to. Trump cannot be bought, because Trump does not need anyone's money.
So, if it pleases you, I'll gladly reword "Trump's campaign is 100% self-funded" as "Trump's campaign is funded by his own cash, but he accepts generous donations on a small button if you manage to find it on his website."
I think it'd actually be arrogant and rude if he didn't accept voluntary donations from people who want to give him their money.
