9/24/16 Donald announces $140 million ad campaign for coming weeks. HOWEVER,

he only had about $34 million in available funds on 9/30/16. So he was more than $100 million short -- not including any other campaign expenses.

No wonder he hasn't been flooding the airways with those promised ads! And he won't be.

Link to FEC report about his finances as of September 30.

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump's campaign is planning for what it says will amount to $140 million worth of advertising from now until Election Day.

The total, if executed, would include $100 million in television airtime and $40 million in digital ads, according to senior communications adviser Jason Miller.

had their hand out for ad dough from the campaigns. Hillary paid up. Donald didn't. And now Donald wonders why the media has been so tough. That's not the only reason but it's a factor.

This "nasty woman" beat this obnoxious jerk at his own game: money.

I believe he has until Election Day to pay himself back plus interest. If he didn't have that loan he'd be showing a negative figure for cash on hand. Like everything he does, it's all a scam and the Deplorable 1 Brain Cell people have helped him pull it off. They just don't know it ....cause.... well....they only have 1 brain cell.
