Is he throwing in the towel?

Trump says his 2016 campaign could be his ‘single greatest waste of time, of energy and money’

Donald Trump cast the US presidential race in stark personal terms Wednesday, telling voters that if he loses against Hillary Clinton it will be the “single greatest waste” of his time and money.

The provocative billionaire, in a disjointed speech in Ocala, Florida with just 27 days before the election, reminded supporters that he will have spent some $100 million of his own fortune on his campaign.

“If I don’t win on November 8th, I will consider this the single greatest waste of time, of energy and money,” the Republican nominee told the crowd.

“We’ll not be able to reduce your taxes, or save your Second Amendment and appoint Supreme Court justices, and take care of your vets and fix up your very depleted” military, he said.

I predict he will lose (or has lost):

His businesses
His family
His reputation

I think this will have a very negative effect on his life when it's all said and done. And the karma of that makes me happy since he has been so destructive to so many people.

Seems to me he has done a fine job recouping it as time has gone by.

your unethical dealings with your employees, contractors, vendors, suppliers, etc. we would not know that your "foundation" is a slush fund/ money laundering system. we would knot know what a perverted little fuck you actually are. we would not know what a truly disgusting, despicable, deplorable waste of oxygen and resources you are. nice of you to spend a hundred million doing it.

money well spent?

“We’ll not be able to reduce your taxes, or save your Second Amendment and appoint Supreme Court justices, and take care of your vets and fix up your very depleted” military, he said.

Not "our"--"your". He's not with you, people.

Has to rank right up there with "you people".

Actually it sounds a lot like Hitler in Downfall. I was able to conquer Europe, but my generals have betrayed me.
