The Trump campaign is currently spending $3,666,484 PER WEEK on Facebook ads












To put that in perspective, Facebook's largest advertiser in 2019 was Home Depot, which spent $178 million.

The Trump campaign current level of spending is equivalent $190 million annually

It's likely to go higher

1. Trump mobsters laundering money thru Facebook?

Who had, ' Zuckerberg is now a global mob owned money launderer', on their bingo card?

Dirty criminal s.o.b..

2. I hide them and for the the reason I check: irrelevant

I think I've only seen one or two trump* related ads show up on my feed.

3. That's not why Zuck loves Trump

$36 Million over 10 weeks is nothing for Facebook, he loves Trump because Trump has promised him he gets to keep selling people's private data to whoever wants it.

4. Moscow mark, may have a number of different motivations

5. That's a lot of money

to put those awful ads his team has put together up.

It's pretty clear that the talented Republicans are either sitting this one out or are in one of the Anti-Trump groups.
