Trump's Campaign Showcases Trump's Incompetence

Trump Campaign’s $63 Million Dwarfed by Biden’s $177 Million

Recent campaign filings show how much more the Trump campaign’s joint operation with the Republican Party is spending to raise its money than Mr. Biden. The two joint Trump committees with the R.N.C. spent $190.8 million in July, August and September to raise $355.2 million.​

The Biden campaign spent less than half as much on fund-raising from its two joint operations with the Democratic Party ($82.4 million) and yet raised far more, $457 million, during that same period.​

Trump's campaign burned through money with profligate spending and bad decisions and fellow grifters lining their own nests:

...more than $350 million...went to fund-raising operations, as no expense was spared in finding new donors online. The campaign assembled a big and well-paid staff and housed the team at a cavernous, well-appointed office in the Virginia suburbs.​

Among the splashiest and perhaps most questionable purchases was a pair of Super Bowl ads the campaign reserved for $11 million, according to Advertising Analytics — more than it has spent on TV in some top battleground states. It was a vanity splurge that allowed Mr. Trump to match the billionaire Michael R. Bloomberg’s buy for the big game.​

​

“If you spend $800 million and you’re 10 points behind, I think you’ve got to answer the question ‘What was the game plan?’” said Ed Rollins, a veteran Republican strategist who runs a small pro-Trump super PAC, and who accused Mr. Parscale of spending “like a drunken sailor.”​

​

One of the reasons Mr. Biden was able to wipe away Mr. Trump’s early cash edge was that he sharply contained costs with a minimalistic campaign during the pandemic’s worst months. Trump officials derisively dismissed it as his “basement” strategy, but from that basement Mr. Biden fully embraced Zoom fund-raisers, with top donors asked to give as much as $720,000.​

​

These virtual events typically took less than 90 minutes of the candidate’s time, could raise millions of dollars and cost almost nothing. Mr. Trump has almost entirely refused to hold such fund-raisers. Aides say he doesn’t like them.​

Trump's incompetence, lack of attention, and lack of self-discipline means he couldn't even manage his own reelection campaign.

Yeh, that's great. Keep Joe in his basement, don't go talk to the American people and you save money. Every rich elite liberal is shoveling money to Joe's campaign. How much has Soros given? Joe has a minimalistic campaign because if he goes out and campaigns he says crazy stuff. His best offense is a closed mouth. Democrats are going to vote for a guy that is not capable of day to day running the country. He can't campaign more than 2-3 days a week. He is suffering dementia and he has no stamina. I have to assume that democrats are ok with Kamala Harris running the country, ultr liberal. Thank goodness we are getting another conservative on the court to counter John Roberts leaning left all the time.

Another example of Trump's genius for management:

Lawyers say they can't find the parents of 545 migrant children separated by Trump administration
About two-thirds of the 1,000-plus parents separated from their kids under a 2017 pilot program were deported before a federal judge ordered that they be found.

You know the exact opposite is true. Why do you tell these stupid lies all the time? It is literally impossible to hate the kind of person you say he is and vote for his opponent instead.

You cannot dodge my question. I will not give up until I get truthful answers!

Trump Fundraisers Spun Wheels, Spending 77 Cents to Bring in $1

The campaign spent:
— Nearly $100,000 spent on copies of Donald Trump Jr.’s book “Triggered,” which helped propel it to the top of the New York Times bestsellers list.

— Over $7.4 million spent at Trump-branded properties since 2017.

— At least $35.2 million spent on Trump merchandise.

— At least $218,000 for Trump surrogates to travel aboard private jets provided by campaign donors.

— $1.6 million on TV ads in the Washington, D.C., media market, an overwhelmingly Democratic area where Trump has little chance of winning but where he is a regular TV watcher.

— $912,000 spent on ads that ran on the personal Facebook pages of Parscale and Trump spokesperson Katrina Pierson.
