Asshole's campaign is running short of cash

so he's now doing prime time rallies by calling them "Press conferences". Beautiful. Way to get all the networks to cover all your repeated lies and imagined grievanvances for free. Once again he's playing the media for suckers and they're going along.

I’m willing to bet that at least 50% of the people watching this have tuned in so they can yell “Fuck you” at the TV.

CBS was showing some really stupid daytime TV. I have no idea what their news coverage is like. Just wanted to say Trump isn't getting free time on CBS.

The host called it lies and said they’d let us know if he said anything newsworthy. They never went back.

Either they are certain they are going to lose and are taking the money for themselves or they are certain they are going to win - because ego - and aren't trying anymore. They are surrounded by fat cats every which way so that money must be somewhere.

Of course it is possible they are blowing through their cash but this just smells to me. Rich people get rich and stay rich by nickel and dimeing and to me they are abusing the office to pinch pennies for their overstuffed pockets.

But now that they are short, it's your duty to send your money (even if you just lost your job) to help re-elect the greatest president of all time. At least that's what the con wants his followers to believe so that they have more money to line their own pockets.
