Related: About this forumThe Trump Campaign Just Bought $38k in Ads to Air on Fox News in DC and People Think They Know Why
https://secondnexus.com/donald-trump-fox-news-ad
With the November election only four months away, the strategic use of campaign funds has never been more important.
Though President Donald Trump's campaign boasts a massive war chest, some Republican voters have grown increasingly frustrated with both the campaign's and the Republican National Committee's extensive text messages and emails asking for donations.
This comes as Democratic nominee Joe Biden's campaign outraised Trump's for two months in a row, possibly signaling a growing enthusiasm for Biden's candidacy.
The Trump campaign recently disclosed that it bought 38 thousand dollars' worth of television ads on Fox News in the D.C. area.
D.C. has only three electoral college votes and is considered solid blue territory. It neighbors Maryland, which has voted blue in every election since 1992, and Virginiaa technical swing state where Biden leads by an average of 10 points.
The ad sales on Fox News seemed like a waste of money, until people began speculating that the campaign was willing to pay to keep Trumpan avid watcher of Foxfeeling secure.

How much time will that buy in a major market?
