Ok, guess I’m really naive. So who’s footing the bill for the website, the plane trips, the accommodations, the “boots on the ground” people who I’m assuming have some sort of a “headquarters” at the locations. The assorted paraphernalia campaign trinkets being sold from his site. The fleet of vehicles, and all the people who accompany him. What is he NOT paying for that the others are?

He has a huge number of staffers and security guys -- I've seen 'em with my own eyes. Facilities for big events cost a whole lot of cash. And his jumbo jet and helicopters are not cheap to operate either.

$2 million simply isn't plausible. At all.

I have a hunch that there are a whole lot of things that money is being spent on that are not being charged off to the campaign.

Sound like the ‘consultants’ are annoyed that they aren’t getting their share.

I agree with all you've said, but not sure what you mean by this last sentence. Are you saying he's paying for this personally or you think much of it is being donated?

[EternalVigilance]

I think he’s paying for a lot of stuff out of his own pocket. How that works out with the campaign laws and bookkeeping I don’t know.

But there’s no way on God’s green earth that he has spent only two million.

I’ve helped run presidential campaigns, so I sort of know what things cost.

What this really tells us about Donald Trump...

Many do not get a clue from his book.

He is pulling your chain folks, playing on your emotions to get a desired effect.

We told you about Obama back in 2008 and we were right and we can tell you about Donald Trump also.

Just because he has only spent $ 2 million so far in this game does NOT mean he is “ fiscally conservative “ as some are deluded to think here, but rather it shows he does not have much skin in this game and is NOT in it to win.

Donald Trump playing footies with the Teamsters Unions should be a big red flag here for Conservatives here to get a huge clue whom might inclined to support him.

Wake the hell up people, you are being used and manipulated..

Donald Trump is pulling your chain.
