Despite repeatedly promising to bankroll the campaign with $100 million of his “own money”—the source of which is completely unknown—he’s a long way from that target.

Quote:The Republican presidential nominee has given a mere $33,000 to his campaign this month. That means he needs to pony up another $44 million to fulfill the boast that's become a familiar refrain in interviews and rallies over the past several days.

Mr. Trump contributed no cash and just $31,000 worth of rent and staff salaries to his campaign in the first three weeks of October, a fraction of the $2-million-a-month self-funding pace he had set since winning the Republican presidential nomination.

And Donald Trump is doing this at a point where he had promised to “triple match” contributions by his supporters:

So Trump contributes no cash and raises money on false promises to get people to donate to his campaign, millions of which he spends on his own companies like Mar A Lago. This is the best con in history!

In other news, Max is not voting for Trump!

Lol you guys don't care about this? He's ripping you off, not me! His own supporters! He says he'll triple peoples' donations personally, and he donates nothing. He quintuples the rent at Trump Tower for his campaign HQ when donors begin paying for it. He's spending millions of campaign money on Trump properties, his son's winery, and even $13,432 last week to hold a press conference touting his new Washington DC hotel!

Quote:WASHINGTON ― Donald Trump’s campaign may not be winning the presidential race, but it did a fine job this month of providing business to his hotels.

Trump’s new hotel in Washington received $13,432, according to new Federal Election Commission filings late Thursday. His hotel in New York City received $18,014. And his hotel in Las Vegas was paid $79,044.

The FEC filings cover the first 19 days of October and do not specify precisely what services were provided. The Trump campaign did not respond to The Huffington Post’s queries.

The payments for the New York hotel were over a number of days and were described as “lodging.” The Las Vegas total was a single payment made on Oct. 17, and may have been for the campaign’s visit to the city for the third presidential debate on Oct. 19. It also was described as lodging.

The payment to the new Washington hotel at the Old Post Office site, a few blocks from the White House, also was made on Oct. 17 and was for “rental/catering services.” The hotel hosted a Sept. 16 Trump press briefing that turned into a tour of his property.

Trump held a “grand opening” ribbon-cutting ceremony there on Wednesday that was far more elaborate. Its costs, though, do not have to be disclosed until the FEC filing that’s due a full month after the Nov. 8 election.

Trump’s campaign further paid $8,544 to his golf resort in Potomac Falls, Virginia, and $6,040 to his son Eric Trump’s winery in Charlottesville, Virginia.

These payments were on top of his monthly rental payments of $9,000 to the Trump Plaza and $169,758 to Trump Tower. The Trump Tower rent jumped fivefold in July over what it had been for most of the campaign, even though the number of employees working there has no more than doubled.

That rent increase coincided with the signing of a joint fundraising deal with the Republican National Committee that started sending Trump tens of millions of dollars in donors’ money for the first time.

Trump’s staff has justified his insistence on using his personal Boeing 757 jet and renting campaign office space at Trump Tower despite the attendant high costs because of his $2 million per month contribution to his own campaign. (The Clinton campaign rents two floors in a Brooklyn Heights office building at a per-square-foot rate that’s a fraction of what Trump pays.)

Reminds me of this hilarious spook of The Producers starring Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick--

Bwahhahhhaahhhaa, you're sh*ting your pants now aren't you? I love it!

How many of his own business have been running stuff for him?

That counts as self-financing, Max.

(and I always preferred Wilder/Zero's version of the producers, myself :) )

I suspect Hillary's unloads all barrels. You will have better than this Max.
Just a little sooner than you anticipated.[/i]

She's already unloading both barrels, Das.. particularly toward their own voting blocs

Marketing campaign for HRC calls youth "DUMB"

Quote:Marketing executive Bronfein tells Podesta that Clinton “may not be the best face” to attract younger voters and that she needs to utilize “trending figures” as par of an “infusion to pull younger voters” because “that’s the crap that young people pay attention to”.

Bronfein goes on to state, “It’s f**king dumb but being “cool” counts for more than it maybe should

Okay, it's not Hillary who said it, but it's in Podesta's campaign emails (and before you ask, yes, it's from pre-Primary, so she's slamming Bernie supporters.. but still apparently they think the youth is "dumb".

Or David brock saying that Black Voters are stupid

Why don't we see these statements out there? Hmmm???

It's not illegal to hire your own companies to serve your campaign, as long as you charge market rates, but like I said there's reason to believe he isn't. It was also bizarre how, with one week left in the campaign, he went to that great swing state of Washington DC to promote his hotel, and charged the expenses to his campaign. It's probably a good thing he's doing all this "self financing" because he's tarnished his brand among the type of people who would be in the market for his luxury hotels/resorts and will likely see business decline as he transitions to being a streaming alt right TV mogul.

I love Gene Wilder RIP but he's no longer available!

What you just posted there is really misleading. I'm no fan of Brock but he didn't call black voters stupid. It was Budowsky (a Bernie supporter) accusing Brock of using tactics that Budosky thought insulted their intelligence. These are reaches.

its getting mighty stinky in here.

Miss Finland for the win.

The Republican nominee told supporters at a New Hampshire rally Friday afternoon that he'd given another $10 million earlier in the day. That means his personal investment over the course of the primary and general elections would have grown to about $66 million.

what's HRC's personal investment ...

BUPKIS DICE

Let me know when the FBI investigates him...again

max is getting desperate
