Trump dismisses 'Fake News' reports that his campaign is low on money

Source: The Hill

President Trump dismissed reports that his campaign is “running low on money” early Tuesday morning, vowing to spend personal funds on his reelection bid if necessary.

“I keep reading Fake News stories that my campaign is running low on money. Not true, & if it were so, I would put up money myself. The fact is that we have much more money than we had 4 years ago, where we spent much less money than Crooked Hillary, and still easily won,” Trump tweeted, referring to former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

“Much of the money we have spent is on our ground game, said to be the best ever put together. I’ll let you know how good it is on November 3rd. Very expensive to do, but opportunity could be BIG! I will spend additional money if we are not spending enough!” he continued.

The president’s reelection campaign has pulled millions of dollars in planned television ads aimed at voters in Midwestern states, Bloomberg News reported last week. The campaign has cut at least $2 million in advertising spots in both Michigan and Wisconsin since September. The campaign has also canceled planned ad spending in Minnesota, Ohio and Iowa.

The whole world knows he is debt hundreds of millions of dollars, plus he is too cheap to spend his own money anyway.

9. He's still trying to re-fight Clinton. He can't win that one, he lost it already. And, if he says he

has money, that means he's desperately out of cash. He doesn't have any legally-gotten cash of his own.

BTW he wouldn't bring up Clinton unless he's struggling to find something to attack in Joe.
