Trump’s Missing Money

So……there is a huge disconnect between how much money Trump has raised, and how much he has spent.

The tl:dr is:

If you do the math, that means Trump spent $63m in July. He didn’t spend it on TV advertising. How did Trump spend the money?

…

There’s a third explanation for the missing $63m. The end-of-June FEC report indicates that Trump had lent his campaign $50m. Although Trump promised to forgive this loan, NBC news reported that he never filed the papers to actually do this. Perhaps Trump repaid himself from the $63m, leaving little money for ads and field staff.

I would say that this would be shocking if true…..but it really wouldn’t be at all shocking.

It explains why there is no Trump ground game, or adverts, and is totally inline with the behaviour I would expect Mr Trump to follow.

*EDIT*

Apparently he did file the paperwork:

so the missing money is still missing.
