1. I think Trump and his campaign are both broke. FEC filings should be in about a week. I think we may see Trump is short paying vendors. The big one in his filings is American Made Media Consultants, LLC. I don't know anything about them so I would not be surprised if that's

2. a Trump family related entity but they are by far the largest recipient of disbursements in the July 31 filing. Then Ace Specialties and Amex. We always believe everything Trump says when logic would say that is unwise. What if the reason he pulled his ads was because he was

3. put on cash & carry by the vendors? Here is an article about that big vendor. Says it's an @NRA front.

Truthout is reporting that the Trump 2020 campaign paid shell companies related to ad buyers who are part of a purported plan with the NRA.

5. Here's the corporate registration. American Made Media, LLC Formed in Delaware on April 19, 2018. bizapedia.com/de/american-ma…

7. I wonder if the link between Trump campaign and the folks doing NRA's media booking has drawn Trump into the NRA's NY State nightmare? Bet @NewYorkStateAG knows. 😎

1. Most Interesting, Ma'am

2. What? Trump stiffing vendors? Outrageous. Shocking. Inconceivable !!

Note to anyone silly enough to do business with Trumps : get paid in full up front

[KS Toronado]

28. Their business model has never done business with anyone who wants paid in full up front.

3. Would Explain why he is using White house and Air Force One to do his rally's

Interesting that he hasnt booked a location to host his rally's ...

4. NRA? The org Russia uses to launder money to the GOP?

Top NRA officials knew Russians were using ties to NRA to establish connection with next US President, report says

Small world.

5. "Im so sorry, your card was declined, sir. Do you perhaps have another you'd like to use?"

Run it again! Goddamnit, run it again! I know it's good. I just used it this morning to buy Greenland.

[irisblue]

25. Danish PM saw his credit report when he tried buying Greenland. She laughed

[stillcool]

6. I've just now gotten around to..

reading "Dark Towers". I can't imagine going through as much money as he has, in one lifetime.

[Thekaspervote]

7. They said the same thing in 16. Unless puttie has decided dotard is toast, I'm sure he'll fix it

[Initech]

8. Trump is a useful idiot to Putin.

He's useful until Putin decides he's no longer necessary. At that point, like most useful idiots, he will be cast aside. And that could very easily be the case here. Trump will be a useful idiot to Putin until somebody much scarier comes along.

[Thekaspervote]

19. Yup! Let's hope dotard is toast.

Your comment about the next one...point well taken. We will have to on guard for a decade or more. They’ll keep coming if we don’t stop them

[moonscape]

24. Yeah, a Trump with actual brains. We'd be

burnt toast if he had a lick of sense. n/t

[Initech]

27. Thankfully I don't see anyone like that in the GOP that could be a threat for now.

At least in the foreseeable future. The only thing I could see is if one of those Q Anon morons started gaining real power after any election, that could do some serious damage. But I hope we can keep those morons at bay for now. And they will eventually go back to the basement from which they came.

[Wellstone ruled]

9. Let me say this,

my last Employer had all of the Trump Companies rated at 120 days slow pay. And that matched what Dunn and Bradstreet Carried Trump Business at that same credit worthiness.

My Regional VP Said Trump Payment checks usually were printed on Rubber and bounced like a Tennis Ball.

[Nevilledog]

12. Not surprising.

[jeffreyi]

10. Time to squash him

Like the vile slimy stinky bug he is. No disrespect intended to bugs.

[GoCubsGo]

11. Trump is not only broke, he's hundreds of millions of dollars in debt.

Mostly to Putin and the Saudis. Which is why he's so beholden to them, and to to his country. He also likely owes a crap-ton in back taxes to the IRS, and the Departments of Revenue of every state where owns property, as well. I can't wait until the feds and states start confiscating those assets once he and his putrid family are all convicted.

[crickets]

13. +1000000

[moonscape]

26. Wasn't he sinking financially when he was elected? Being POTUS

has kept him afloat. n/t

[Whiskeytide]

14. Tя☭mp Is not broke NOW. He WAS broke ...

... when he ran for president. He ran to soften some of his debt to Russian interests. I fully think the initial plan was that Jeb would get the nomination, and Tя☭mp would stay in the race long past his expiration date just try to damage HRC enough to let Jeb win.

Tя☭mp gathering a following and then winning the nomination surprised everyone (not by the time it actually happened, but in the build up). Of course that pleased the Russian interests, but still no one then expected he could win the GE. (They didn’t fully appreciate (1) the stupidity of the US electorate, and (2) the power of the Russian interference). So the plan was still to damage Clinton as much as possible to de-legitimize her administration. This is why there was not a lot of thought put into his campaign, and they did shit no one would have ever dared do - because even they didn’t think of themselves as legitimate contenders. It was a con job.

Then he won. I suspect now he has been rewarded handsomely for fucking up American democracy. The problem is that it’s all stashed away in offshore accounts and IOUs, etc... for now. His campaign can’t get to it and he can’t get to it, without raising suspicions. This fits his MO because, given a choice of having cash dumped into his campaign Via shell companies or donors - or dumped into his offshore rainy day fund, he’ll choose himself every time.

Also why he doesn’t want his tax returns released - because it would expose how broke he was and reveal the con.

So he’s not broke. He’s just starving his campaign to pad his own accounts. And many of the usual republican donors are shying away from him (just look at the polls). He’s becoming toxic to the usual suspects, and he’s hoarding all the unusual cash for himself. JMHO.

15. This is too delicious.

[malaise]

18. And then some

[StClone]

22. The Great Business man, NO! Trump BIZ Guinness

Is Not going broke and has not pissed away 1.1 Billion of his campaign coffers. No way. Irony not! Well maybe.

[live love laugh]

20. ...

[BigmanPigman]

21. Ivanka and Jared got $40 million.

Last night MSNBC implied that there is a $40 million amount that is "unaccounted for" and the money had to get approval from Jarvanka in order to their LLCs providing services to the reelection campaign (aka their personal bank account).

[Illumination]

23. THIS is like the Trump boat parade on Lake Travis TX recently. Trump boats are sinking &

maybe Trump is sinking like the Titanic!...And the band played on!...

[rurallib]

29. I shall kick Trump while he is down by putting a little extra into my donations this month

I am sure Joe & Kamala will know what to do with it.

[oldsoftie]

30. And THAT is the reason he doesnt want to release his taxes.

He doesnt want us to know he's not as "rich" as he says he is.

[VWolf]

31. Well, both are morally bankrupt

That we know for sure!

[GopherGal]

32. American Made Media

I read that name somewhere earlier today and remembered it because I was struck by the irony given the manufacturing locations for the Orangutan's and his Princess's goods.

That firm, American Made Media Consultants, has been used to place television and digital ads and was the subject of a recent Federal Election Commission complaint arguing it was used to disguise the final destination of spending, which has included paychecks to Lara Trump and Kimberly Guilfoyle, the partners of Trump’s two adult sons.

Must be a bummer for Tiffany's poor BF who has to feel bad being the only one who has to sleep with a Trump and not get paid for it.
