Where the Trump Campaign money went...

"Super Bowl ads that cost $11 million."


"$156,000 for planes to pull aerial banners in recent months."


"Nearly $110,000 to Yondr, a company that makes magnetic pouches used to store cellphones during fundraisers so that donors could not secretly record Trump and leak his remarks."


"[M]ore than $1 million in ads aired in the Washington, D.C., media market," which the Times characterizes as a "Trump-pleasing expense."


"[A]bout $4 million into the Trump family businesses since 2019."

Everyone around him is a crook, they're all stealing from his campaign. Not a one is honest. $800 million spent to be 10 points behind with 8 weeks left.

5. I ask myself,

what is the ROI on the $100,000,000.00 of his own (yeah right) that he plans to spell.

Why not just take the 30 pieces of silver he's been chasing his entire life and betray the United States of America out right?

You'll need them to pick them out from the snow traps.

14. Charged to taxpayers I gue$$.

Rather to the national credit card, which has no limits when Republican$ hold power ($4 Trillions added to it this year alone, which is over 4 times the previous all-time record). To pay for it and keep their wealthy friends' tax cuts, they plan to gut Social Security, Medicare and the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare"...). But just wait once the Democratic ticket gets elected: They will go back to crying about the "deficit" over and over and over again... just ask in$-hannity, limbo, and Paul Lyan...

My magic 8-Ball says that's proof positive the Trump Campaign is operating on empty.

to sue states and counties to prevent mail in voting. Or is it a pro bono situation? Doubt it.
