As the chief executive of CBS, Les Moonves, said in February, Trump “may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS, that’s all I got to say.”

Trump, naturally, reciprocates Moonves’ feelings: “Great guy. The greatest. We’re on the same page. We think alike.”

Anyone who doesn't demand cash on the barrel head for the ads will get stiffed by Trump, win or lose. That's how Trump does business. Anyone who doesn't understand that is an idiot.

1. Trump will have find some money....typical big GOP donors

Not committing yet

7. It doesn't matter. Trump would stiff them

even if he had the money. Trump will see campaign donations as "his" money.

3. Think it's more that

he doesn't want to spend his own money - what little there is left.

4. This is the sole reason the media continues to prop up Trump and pretend it's a horse race.

6. Yeah, but that's the funny part

Usually they bill the campaigns for ad time, and the campaigns pay. The assumption is not valid with Trump. They will spend a decade or more in court trying to get Trump to pay up.

5. Media to Trump: "You're first two billion is free." Trump to media: "The rest will be free too...."

...my bitches."

8. It would be sweet that after trump loses he declares bankruptcy on his campaign and

The MSM gets stiffed on the ad dollars. And currently unless he gets a line of credit (loc) or a donor sugar daddy there could be cash flow problems occurring now in his campaign. Property rich, cash poor Don the con.

Implosion proceed!

9. That sounds like poetic justice to me
