After promising to spend $100 million of his own money to win re-election, Trump has given his campaign only $8,000.

Meanwhile, it’s unclear where all the money has gone to. 80% flows through an entity that doesn’t disclose its disbursements.

I just did a little 'google' check and there's nothing new, at all.

He and everyone in his sphere are all out stumping for him nonstop. Problem is, Bloomberg is pumping millions into Florida and there are so many other swing states that needs $$$. Hence, the desperation stump tour and how his base needs to step up and advertise for him. Thing is, we took a page out of their book and are doing the same. So if they have a car rally, we do too. If they have a sign rally, we do too. It will come down to $$$$ that he doesn't have.

How crazy that he ran out of money during the crucial part of an election. Lol

All proceeds travel directly to Trump-held accounts.

Trump Knows the Laundry Business!
