I mean I accept it is a huge sum of money in a normal context, but in this context (donations to political parties) is it really exceptional? I mean I've heard of wealthy men losing multiples of that at Poker.

If I'm reading https://www.opensecrets.org/pres16/candidate.php?id=N0002386... correctly, it's a good 1.5% of all pro-Trump money spending (currently $84,640,147) in this election.
