It was reported earlier this week that Team Trump was forced to slash its campaign spending after it blew through nearly $1 billion with nearly two months left before Election Day. The Washington Post now reports that the decision to pull money from television ads while Joe Biden’s campaign freely splashes the cash has caused panic at the highest levels of the Republican Party. GOP officials have reportedly been flooded with complaints from incredulous activists who say they’re only seeing Biden on their screens. Among the concerned is Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, who reportedly told the president she was worried about the cost-cutting. The president is said to have agreed that it was a problem. The decision to cut ad spending was taken by Trump’s new campaign manager, Bill Stepien, who reportedly said the ad budget had to be cut as it was impossible to cut staff or HQ rental costs.

1. This was discussed yesterday on the Lincoln Project streaming show on LPTV.

Rick Wilson and Steve Schmidt have an answer: The $$$ was stolen by grifters inside the campaign.

6. i watched the LP clip yesterday. Grifters gonna grift. The parasites are sucking his campaign dry.

He surrounds himself with grifting people like him so it's no surprise. Parscale for example.
I'd laugh but it's been a sad 4 years we've had to endure under the corrupt and dangerous man. So glad Dems are fired up to kick him out.

11. GOP AKA GRIFTERS ON PARADE

[Skraxx]

19. LOL! Yup, Grifting and Skimming from Top to Bottom!

That adds up! To a Billion dollars apparently! LOL!

[lindysalsagal]

26. Good idea to empty the vault before the ship sinks to the bottom.

Just my 2 cents.

[Botany]

2. Attn Ronna McDaniel

Trump took your money and spent it on himself, his businesses, and his legal fees. It is what a
con man does. BTW you do know that Trump was never a republican don't you?

[maxrandb]

3. Don't worry Ronna! Donnie Shit for Brains said he'd spend his own money

You can always file a civil suit after he pockets whatever is left.

I'm sure he'll "make a deal" with you.

BTW - I'm pretty sure the plan was to have a bunch of KKKlan rallies and get the billions in free advertising from the media... JUST LIKE LAST TIME.

And Ronna,

Go fuck yourself sideways with a First Edition Hard Cover copy of Atlas Shrugged you worthless piece of amphibian shit!

4. Perhaps Jared's been buying chloroquine on the speculative market

with $800M of campaign donors' money? Stranger things have happened in Trumpland and might explain their desperate chloroquine cheerleading. Pump and dump. Trump. Fuck.

[DonaldsRump]

5. I don't really watch that much tv

and I block ads on the internet, so I don't have any way of comparing. How different is Trump's approach to TV/online advertising in 2020 contrasted/compared with 2016?

Remember in 2016 he had the Russians massively assist in ripping us apart, and I'm assuming the same applies in 2020? Did the Trump campaign directly advertise on tv and online in September-November 8, 2016 if folks can remember that far back?

I guess what I am getting is whether Trump has stopped advertising or is it that his campaign is relying on "something else" (like foreign interference) to assist?

[Skraxx]

20. I WAS Seeing A Lot of Online Ads for Trump, But Now They're all Gone

Not seeing anything online or TV. Meanwhile I see Biden ads EVERYWHERE!

[SheltieLover]

7. Counting on putin & china

[UpInArms]

8. Are they renting space from trump properties like they did in 2016?

Cuz, grifters gotta grift.

[apnu]

9. "impossible to cut staff or HQ rental costs"

So the staff are demanding huge salaries and they're stuck getting gouged at Trump properties or other places in Trump's real estate cabal.

Way to rip off the donors.

[gratuitous]

23. For more on this story, we go now to Brad Parscale, sitting on a pile of yachts

Someone else mentioned all the free media Trump got in 2016. This time around, it appears the media aren't quite so willing to broadcast Trump Unedited and Untrammeled by Facts. So the coverage isn't going to be quite so fawning and uncritical. Bad news for Trump.

[lindysalsagal]

27. You're my new favorite person!

Hysterical. DU used to be so funny, back 20 years ago...

[apnu]

31. The old timers are the best.

I've been here a long time, mostly lurk. I do miss that kind of humor.

[tanyev]

10. I'm guessing they went the same place as your use of Romney in your full name, Ronna.

[qwlauren35]

12. Staff more important than ads.

That's HILARIOUS,

[Tanuki]

24. Hey, they have to pay Kimberly and Lara those six-figure salaries to

sleep with Trump's sons!

[Renew Deal]

13. Have they released a financial report for August?

How much time do they have to do that?

[onethatcares]

14. good bye craiglist actors

now what?

[Johnny2X2X]

15. Watch what happens if Trump think she cannot win

The theft from his campaign will be legendary, every penny the Republican Party has will end up in a Trump's pocket, not a dime will be left.

Of course they're going to raid the US Treasury as well.

[AZ8theist]

16. I hope they are all so "panicked"....

They all commit harry-carry.

Fucking fascist Anti-American scum, every last one of the Repukes.

[ooky]

17. He steals.

That's where your money went.

[Skraxx]

18. LOL! Yup, Ad Spending Goes In SOMEONE Elses POCKETS!

Not Trumps. Can't have that. Grifters gotta grift. LOL! Man, that campaign is grift from top to bottom, everyone's skimming and the money's going down a black hole.

Good luck Trump humpers! Better get yours while there's still a few penny's left!

[Takket]

21. "Idiot asks snake where her mouse went"

Film at 11

[spanone]

22. if trump thinks he'll lose, he'll be pocketing all the money he can

[LiberalFighter]

25. Why is Ronna asking that question?

She is the RNC Chair. She should know where they have gone. She is cut from the same cloth as Trump.

[crickets]

28. Good point. :Betty Rubble giggle: nt

[lindysalsagal]

29. Hey, Ronna?

What exactly was it about the GOP that made you think all of this wasn't going to happen?

[sarcasmo]

30. Like the Trump Foundation, the Trump campaign paid off Trump personal debts.

[jmowreader]

32. We're looking at an American Ferdinand Marcos

After the Marcos clan was run off, they stole everything that wasn’t nailed down and a lot that was. Trump will do the same thing. He will take the silverware, the drawer it’s kept in and the rug the cabinet is sitting on. If he can manage to get the floors out of the building, he will.
