Donald Trump often brags about not spending any money on campaign ads, but that is about to change.

According to a report by Fox News, Trump’s campaign is planning an ad blitz that could cost more than $2 million a week. The money for the ad buy will come out of Trump’s own fortune: “Our Super PAC is Donald Trump’s bank account,” an unnamed adviser told Fox.

My campaign for president is $35,000,000 under budget, I have spent very little (and am in 1st place).Now I will spend big in Iowa/N.H./S.C.

Trump doesn’t need this crap. He could just enjoy his billions if he chose. He is doing it because he loves his country and wants to make it great again.

“Trump doesn’t need this crap. “

++++

True, but you can tell from his rallies that he is enjoying this immensely.

They never refer to a Democrat’s assets as a fortune.

Trump pays his own way, while all DemoRats launder taxpayer funded campaign contributions through required membership public employee unions, and the GOP-E is funded by Fasicst tax subsidized Crony Capitalist corporations and taxpayer bailed out Banksters.

It's the American way!

Trump sure has a way with words, one of my favorites and on national TV too "She (Hilliary) is a lair, everyone knows that"

This should put a stop to the talk that Trump is being overly frugal with his spending. It is amazing that he was able to maintain frontrunner status all this time while spending less money than what I paid for my house.

Trump finished off Bush with just his Twitter account.

I can only imagine the damage Trump will heap on others with
a 2 million a week campaign budget.

Let her rip Trump!

There is a finite number of media outlets in Iowa and New Hampshire and a finite amount of ad time to sell. This late in the game I would think that the majority of the time, certainly the premium slots, has been bought out by the other campaigns. So is there $2 million a week left to buy?

Good question! The Trump machine is very efficient. I’m thinking he bought his slots some time ago..or put them in reserve. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. All conjecture of course.

It’s about time someone took the clintons on! For those who do not remember the impeachment hearings of bill clinton... he even got off there. From Arkansas to the White House, they have left a trail of corruptness that should have kept them both out of our government. They never let any one person get in their way. That charm covers up who they are.
Both of them are dangerous to anyone who might try to stop them.
