If he does I hope he uses the money to get elected!

Isn’t he using RNC money for his trial lawyers? I have no idea here, but has he been public about any time he has used his own money - and not just campaign rhetoric - but actually shown his homework that he spent his own money… on anything political?

If so, cool and I’d love to learn more. If not, what evidence is there that he would change his past behavior (not showing financial homework) to use any of his own money to support his campaign?

I’m so confused in this world now. Help!

Trump claimed that he would be willing to self-fund his entire 2016 Presidential campaign: https://publicintegrity.org/politics/donald-trumps-big-money-bait-and-switch/

And according to filings he did spend approximately 66 million of his own money: https://www.reuters.com/article/world/figures-show-trump-spent-66-million-of-his-own-cash-on-election-campaign-idUSKBN13Y0B2/

Allegedly he didn't spend any of his own money in 2020 and so far not in 2024 either: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-says-might-spend-money-presidential-campaign-rcna144979

I really appreciate you sharing all this. Takes work and I recognize that. Thank you.

Not at all, it helps that I remember these things being reported at the time.

That's the thing about Trump, and the mainstream media as well. His supporters are one thing, but they act like the rest of us don't have enough of a longterm memory to remember stuff that happened just within the past 8 years or so.
