It comes from the party that nominates him. The party gets its money from campaign contributions. There is also public funding for those who accept it.
There are restrictions on how campaign money is raised. The bottom line is that most of the serious money comes from rich people and organizations who expect to be heard if they need something from the president. Some contribute to both sides .
