Trump knew it was going to be a terrible day when he woke up with gum in his orange hair.
And it got worse.
The Daily Trail: Donald Trump's day started out bad. It got worse.
Just as I have been saying. Flipper will reimburse himself from the money he has spent on his campaign. He will take the money out of donations.
And it got worse.
The Daily Trail: Donald Trump's day started out bad. It got worse.
As of this morning, Hillary Clinton and her allies had reserved roughly $117 million in ad time between now and Election Day, including more than $20 million in key swing states over the next few weeks alone. The Trump figure for that same period, as of this morning, was $0. (There are no digits missing. That is "0," as in "zero," as in "none at all," which is also the amount of sleep GOP officials are getting right now, probably.)
Why hasn't the Trump campaign been spending the money? Tonight, we found out why: they don't have it.
At the beginning of this month, Hillary Clinton's campaign announced that it had raised $28 million for the month of May. Trump's campaign said nothing...until tonight, a little more than two hours before the FEC filing deadline, when we learned that he had raised roughly $3 million for the same period, and loaned his campaign another $2 million, ending the month with a little over $1 million in the bank.
Here's how bad: Ben Carson's campaign has more cash on hand right now than Trump's does.
More than a month ago, his team said he would be making good on his "self-funding" pledge by converting the loans he's made to his campaign — which accounted for nearly all the funds he'd provided — into a gift in the "near future." Since then, he has repeatedly referred to that gift in the past tense. If he's made good on the pledge, it's not evident on the form tonight, which lists more than $45 million in loans made or guaranteed by Trump, and less than $400,000 in outright contributions.
