2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forum9/24/16 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.

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

(1,771 posts)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.
