How can they be strapped for cash? As of the end of Sept he had $1.1 billion. They’re either embezzling the money, or embezzling the money.
SophieClockwise
Trump knows he's going to lose, so now he's just going keep the campaign money and funnel it straight into his own bank account.
VWWWWWV
Haven't voted since 2000, I'm changing that this election.
theangryjanitor
I hope theres enough left for a small, tasteless funeral.
kilaithalai
Knowing him, it will probably be ostentatious and gaudy
Phischstaebchen
Go vote him out. Go vote! I can't as a German.
BootneeLeeFarnsworth
Why spend money on ads when you're going to steal the election anyway?
theangryjanitor
Why be orange?
ChrisYourself
If only his supporters hadn't donated to build his wall that Mexico was suppose to pay for

That Steve Bannon then embezzled, hahahahah

November 3 is your LAST day to vote. Try to vote as early as possible.
adamantiumbullets
Ok, well, last time Clinton’s campaign outspent Trump’s by orders of magnitude so... vote
whycanttheygetgirlfriends
Clinton and associated PACs spent twice as much as Trump and associated PACs. One order of magnitude is 10 times. Two orders is 100 times.
adamantiumbullets
Thank you kind pedantic sir
BearsDontCare
Smash this guy with your vote.
theangryjanitor
NOT with ANYONE'S penis politely at least;)
LeashEmpires
the problem with polls is that people voting for trump usually don't participate in those, not allowing them to get a representative dataset
tbomber
I'm a little appalled that Biden has to outspend him that much to be so relatively few points ahead.
Mayfly10
I'm not sure that advertising is actually doing all that much at this point. How many undecided voters can there be?
freckledkink
A lot! So many people are apathetic about voting or not. Then, if they do decide to vote, they'll listen to those ads.
Mayfly10
I guess I just do not understand how anyone can look at the train-crash of current American politics and not have an opinion.
freckledkink
Oh, I agree. I don't get it either. I try to look at things from every angle, and this year I don't understand not voting if they're old
freckledkink
Enough and have access.

If you spend more time attacking others than proving you are a better choice, you know you are losing.
DreadZeppelin
Please don't start to get comfy or feel safe, vote him out with a landslide!
keyserv
He lost the last popular vote by a landslide. We all know how that turned out.

fuck
DeeDoubleYu
Yeah you shouldn't vote just to get him out. Vote to give him the most embarrassing loss possible.
wadatahmydamie
Let’s give him an election map to remember
Deoxyribonucleicacidwashedgenes
I really hope when all is said and done he gets to watch Fox News tell him he lost 80-20 to Biden.

Polls dont mean shit. Fake sense of security. We will all know it on the day not before.
chaotropicagent
No quarter! Until he has not even a quarter!
Esdog
Ok hear me out, why dont they stop donations and just get the same amount each to spend on advertising, for all parties.
MarioBoon
In Belgium we give the political parties a set amount for each vote they got.
kilaithalai
But that's.. like.. communism!

beachpupper
If only 3 of his campaign managers weren't in jail, bail money adding up. Plus all the lawsuits they've filed against mail in voting...
Zokalwe
My guess is, they're keeping the money for blurring/contesting the results after the election.
beachpupper
He's prolly spent as much money trying to take away people's votes as he has trying to win votes
MajMalfunction2
His campaign stole anything not nailed down because he's getting evicted. Be sure to vote and send him another eviction notice.
throwthisaccountinthetrashbin
As a non-American it is mind boggling how much money is spent on election campaigns.
eggman989
When the fate of 300 million slaves hangs in the balance, you go the extra mile.
GiuseppeW
As an American it make me sick. We could improve so much if we took the billions spent every year and put it where it matters
PPPMissPrissyPants
it boggles Americans too. Seems to me we could take care of some of those issues their campaigning on with that money. But what do I know.
Iloveblackcats217
So much this
Ghlargh
At least it's spent in-country. You'll get most of it back in taxes from those corporations... Oh wait...
comacomacomacomachameleon
$60 million has been spent so far in the senate race in Maine. Maine has a population of about 1 million people.
tinytyrant
don't be complacent... vote. they are trying to discourage people from voting by suggesting it's not worth it. please... vote.
anaveragejoeblow
So are you saying the LA Times is on trumps side?

You’d be a complete fool to believe this story. Trump doesn’t need ads in Ohio because it’s an easy win for Trump. Idk if this article is
somepoorjerk
Intentionally false to get people to not vote thinking that these states are as good as blue. They are not. Go vote.
getotterhere
somethingsomethingmcbob
So inspiring. What a great man.
Azawarau
This was the case in 2016. This time though trump genuinely has almost no chance. Before it was nearly tied .
KrisPhoenix
I remember a Rep voter said,that the Dems are doing voter fraud, so she voted twice....
dontrike
Now why would a supposed billionaire be cutting back spending?
IHaveBeenConfusedForACyberTerrorist
Aww, is the businessman broke? Poor donny. That's even more reason for EVERYONE to get to the polls
DarthVaderDidNothingWrong
But... i thought he's a billionaire? Weird.
freckledkink
He's counting it in individual coins, not the dollar amount they equal.
DarthVaderDidNothingWrong
Even in cents it's doubtful
Fyreworx
It's 50/50 untill the polls close. Don't think it's not.
Treius
It's not over until he's out of the building

Also don't forget that GOP *must* lose the Senate majority, otherwise they'll just obstruct the shit of of Biden's term.
Nobanob
Unless he runs out of breath cause of the rona

Trump right now

And even then you hope the electoral vote for the majority.

I immediately thought of the most recent xkcd too
MagicalHamFlaps
but i thought he was rich.........oh right political campaign advertising is only done with other peoples money
Garadur
That assumes he's actually rich
MagicalHamFlaps
99% sure he is broke as a prom night condom
eggman989
Lawyers are expensive, and trump needs a whole team of them working 24/7.
EndlessTrash
At this point I can only assume that he also embezzled some of that campaign money.
SavageDrums
Some?
EndlessTrash
They have to spend some of it on the campaign, or else it would be too obvious.

RectalPunchfromHell
Yup. That's what I was thinking. He's making money somehow from the campaign money.
Seminole4ever
Check out the article for a picture of his wife in a bikini. I think that I figured out what some of that money bought.
