"SNIP...........

Trump officially secured the party's nomination for president last week. Before that, the real-estate mogul's campaign said it would partner with the Republican National Committee to raise as much as $1 billion for the general election.

According to the Examiner report published Friday, the notice from Trump's campaign came after his senior adviser, Paul Manafort, met with some of the party's leaders last week.

"They know that they're not going to have enough money to be on TV in June and probably most of July until they actually accept the nomination and get RNC funds," the Examiner reported, citing an unnamed GOP source familiar with Manafort's comments.

Trump has mostly bankrolled his own campaign during the contentious primary season, reportedly spending tens of millions of dollars so far, according to Open Secrets.

1. Trump will have to hold

bake sales at all his big hotels.

[BootinUp]

2. what a damn shame, guess that awful mouth has consequences. nt

[saltpoint]

3. Trump's about to put a call through

to Darrell Issa to see if maybe Darrell could steal some cars, sell them at a premium, and load up the campaign coffers with the money.

12. Nix on the hot cars scam I say he should nominate Issa as his VP.

A shady "businessman" with the most moolah of any government type. Darryl's the man!

[Jeffersons Ghost]

14. How about what a judge just ordered in the Trump College scam?

16. Precisely! Crooks of a feather flock together, after all. :>})

[saltpoint]

15. Yep. It just seems like he'd fit

right in to a Trump campaign.

[grasswire]

4. sounds like a big bluff to me

Now that he has the nom, he's going to squeeze Republicans.

[AgadorSparticus]

9. They don't like him either. I don't see a whole lot of Repukes declaring their love for him

Should be interesting. I can't imagine that established repukes will want to risk association with him.

[grasswire]

13. haha! your user name!

It always makes me laugh.

[AgadorSparticus]

17. Me too! It helps bring out my wattamallenness. 😂

[BadgerKid]

11. It occurred to me also.

Like Art of the Negotiation 101.

[MohRokTah]

5. INSIDE EDITION:

Trump reportedly said, "nobody said political campaigns couldn't really declare bankruptcy in the middle of the campaign. I was depending on that to be bale to have my family bail out the campaign so I could move forward."

[MohRokTah]

6. No WONDER Trump wanted to charge $10 million to debate Bernie! eom

[world wide wally]

19. We know what "charity" that would go to

[Trust Buster]

7. The Supreme Court hangs in the balance. They know what they're doing floating this turd.

They will have all the money they need made available to them. They're not suspending the Constitution vis a vis the President's SC nomination just for shits and giggles.

[Gomez163]

8. Trump gets free publicity every day from the media

[AgadorSparticus]

10. Maybe he can sell some of his taco bowls to help fund the ads. Lol

[Rex]

18. Well awwwww...

[ailsagirl]

20. Oh, nooooooo

That's awful!!

[ReRe]

21. Reason is...

... Trump's hotels are tanking. Doesn't make sense. He just got the nomination for USPres from the GOP, and his hotels are in the basement. I think Trump was probably lying all along about his money situation. There's no sense in trying to figure out this enigma. The Democratic Party has to defeat this megalomaniac in November.

[surrealAmerican]

22. It won't matter.

He hardly needs to buy TV time when he can get it for free.

This sounds like a ploy to squeeze some extra funds from GOP contributors, and it will probably work.

[mnmoderatedem]

23. this CANNOT get enough attention

Trump built his following in large part by declaring he was "self funding" and "cannot be bought". Now, about five minutes after Kasich and Cruz drop out, he's talking fundraising for his campaign.

HOLD HIS FEET TO THE FIRE! Remind his bobblehead followers of his earlier comments regarding being self funded and how he has been taking them for a ride all along

Not that it's going to matter to his bobbleheads....
