Donald Trump Campaign is broke [View all]

I heard that tired old "trump doesn't need money, he's rich" bullshit argument last week. Gawd I hate Thanksgiving.

Check the information in these FEC links. Trump has loaned his campaign roughly 1/3 of his total receipts. The other 2/3 has come from individual donations. And, as of the most recent filing he only has roughly $255,000 in cash on hand. That may sound like a chunk of money, but when running for President...... it's pocket change.

Print out copies of these and hand them to the next asshole who tells you how trump doesn't need any money, he's a Billionaire.
