Trump Pulls Florida Ads as Cash-Poor Campaign Enters Final Week

President Trump’s campaign has withdrawn advertising from the state of Florida, shifting its dwindling funds to the “industrial northern states” that carried him to victory in 2016, Bloomberg reports.

In the final week of the campaign, Trump is focusing all his energy on the battleground states of Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Pennsylvania — where polls show he’s behind Joe Biden with the exception of Ohio.

“Since the beginning of the fall campaign on Labor Day, Trump has cut $24 million from his national ad budget, while former Vice President Joe Biden has added $197 million,” Bloomberg reports. “Biden has outspent Trump three-to-one over that time.”

1. Maybe Trump can have another pick up truck parade

3. Their so-called strategy makes no sense. They need to concentrate on the sunbelt & places like

Georgia and Texas. He ain't gonna win here. But if he wants to waste his time on a lost cause, have at it dipshit.

11. I love those pick up truck/boat parades because it means they are out of money.

And those parades don't pick up one more voter too.

8. They must figure he's got it locked up.

He’s not going to win without Florida. And given the state’s history and who’s running it, they might be right.

Or they’re just trying to pocket as much cash as they can in a lost cause.

You never really know with Florida.

12. My Guess Is That His "Don't Worry Be Happy" Coronavirus Attitude Has Lost Florida For Him nt

9. Florida is probably going to be close with or without advertising at this point

So they probably figure they can get more out of those states because they are going to need all of them to have any hope of contesting and creating a mess and chaos. That is their only hope at this point.

Also underscores that they are broke, just like every other trump run entity.
