and now his campaign has run through a billion.

Not good at managing money.

Just the very tone used by trump and his minions, directed right back at him! The snotty voice of a pubescent smartass, cat-calling "Burn!" That might actually leave a mark on his withered psyche.

I fully expect that trump made lots off that billion dollars wasted. It’s like his bankruptcies. He doesn’t care about the same things as normal people. He makes money going out of business by leaving others owning the debt.

Grifting is more important than anything else.

I still like the ad. It gets the message out in a better way than I could think of.

... among other things. You can bet he's raking it off the top, just as Parscale did and various members of the Chump family.

We know why he opened his re-election campaign the day after he got inaugurated. He did it so he wouldn't have to give back the leftover $$ from his 2016 campaign, and donations for the Inaugural celebration. That money has all been grifted by America's Grifter-In-Chief.

It's not going to end until he's finally gone.

This is what bothers him more than anything. Being humiliated and taken for a sucker, and now it is going to go viral and everyone will know just what kind of a chump Trump really is!

You don't suppose Trump is hanging on to his campaign cash so he can pocket it himself?

His whole history from using funds from charities to commission portraits of himself to campaign funds used to try and keep Stormy Daniels quiet suggest he did as well.

Maybe he was dumb in believing the others wouldn't or wouldn't take as much, but there's no way he hasn't redirected some funds for himself.

the billion dollars wasn't his money. You think he cares about any of his donors? They're just suckers and losers in his mind.

Make no mistake about it, the family has already pocketed plenty of it. Quite frankly, I could care less if the ones who donated to his campaign got stiffed.

He doesn't care if they're ripping off American taxpayers.. He only cares if it's coming out of HIS bank account. Think of all the skimming that was done with the inauguration funds. Every time his kids travel on "business" they stay at Trump facilities, as do their security detail, and they all pay rack rate. His security when he goes golfing have to rent golf carts from HIS clubs. The more they travel and the more he plays golf, the more money he makes. Grifters gotta grift.
