The Trump campaign is currently spending $3,666,484 PER WEEK on Facebook ads
To put that in perspective, Facebook's largest advertiser in 2019 was Home Depot, which spent $178 million.
The Trump campaign current level of spending is equivalent $190 million annually
It's likely to go higher

(19,325 posts)3. That's not why Zuck loves Trump
$36 Million over 10 weeks is nothing for Facebook, he loves Trump because Trump has promised him he gets to keep selling people's private data to whoever wants it.
