Aside from being stone broke, I want to note another problem Trump has made for himself.
Trump has coyly announced a "speech regarding the election" tomorrow in New York. On Twitter he says it will be about "the failed policies and bad judgment of Crooked Hillary Clinton." This was the speech that was preempted by the 'I'm awesome; we're all gonna die' speech he gave the day after the massacre in Orlando. It will presumably be a massive anti-Hillary oppo dump presented in the form of a speech.
Here's the problem.
Trump's biggest liability at this point is the public's congealing perception that Trump is an emotionally unstable, erratic liar who may voice certain genuine popular grievances but is just not a safe person to make president. That means that Trump's biggest priority is to show that he's normal, sane, balanced - someone remotely suitable to be president.
That's a tough bill if you're also trying to dramatically shake up the race or make news.
