(H/T: Scissorhead Skinny-D)
As regular readers know, I don’t give two merdes about the Goat Rodeo money chase. Except when I do, and boy-howdy, the news today from the 4th Reich is bad:
TRUMP WAR CHEST OF OVER $1 BILLION IS DWINDLING FAST
…is blasted across the most expensive real estate in all of journalism and contains a multitude of examples of poor decision-making:
- Super Bowl ads that cost $11 million.”
- “$156,000 for planes to pull aerial banners in recent months.”
- “Hershey Company, the chocolate-maker ($337,000), which cover costs for items such as the White House-branded M&Ms given away by administrations of both parties.”
- Former campaign manager Brad Parscale “had a car and driver, an unusual expense for a campaign manager.”
So of course, they are blaming it on Parscale. He’s not taking it lying down:
Hysterically, well, to me anyway, is this related headline in Bloomberg:
Trump Weighs Putting Up to $100 Million of His Cash Into Race
“President Donald Trump has discussed spending as much as $100 million of his own money on his re-election campaign, if necessary, to beat Democratic nominee Joe Biden, according to people familiar with the matter.
“The billionaire president has talked about the idea with multiple people, though he hasn’t yet committed to any self-funding, according to people briefed on internal deliberations. Though Trump personally contributed $66 million to his 2016 campaign, it would be unprecedented for an incumbent president to put his own money toward winning a second term.”
Uh-huh. 🙄
Anyone believe that?
In related-related news, TMZ reports
“Here’s a shocker for 54 percent of the country … President Trump opened a Bible (that’s not the shocker), signed his name in it, and now the good book could now be worth nearly $40k. There it is….”We’re told he signed it at the White House during the first week of June, just a couple of days after he’d ordered federal law enforcement to fire pepper spray and rubber bullets at peaceful George Floyd protesters … just to clear a path for him to St. John’s Episcopal Church.”
Hmm, a few more boats about to sink?

LDN might spend 10,000 large to stay out of the hoosegow; but only if he can’t get the rubes to finance it first.

Didn’t Parscale have a car and a car and a range rover and a ferrari and a ferrari and a ferrari and a driver?

What about the $70 mil or so of campaign funds that were “diverted” to help pay “legal fees?” That’s 7/10 of $100 mil, so as a source of income, it may not be as reliable as holding down a steady job, but the perks ARE there, to be had for the
asking, er, grasping.LikeLike
He wouldn’t be putting his own money into his re-election. He doesn’t have any.
He would be putting Putin’s money into his re-election. At a hefty interest rate.

In near miracle happenstance, the passage of those rubber bullets through the “Good Book” rubbed out (or, if you prefer, excised) the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule and the Beatitudes, making this truly Trump’s bible.
