Trump September $$: raised $54.7, spent $70.2, $34.8 Million on hand

Big expenditures:

$23.2M on 'placed media'

$20.6M on 'digital consulting/online advertising'

Only $857K on payroll

His business acumen translated pretty faithfully to his campaign management.

2. Remember what he said to the wedding caterer he didn't pay?

He told her that being able to tell future clients that she'd catered his wedding was payment enough. I'm sure he feels the same way about his campaign people.

3. So he's proving to be a lousy jobs creator as a candidate!

(no ground game ... )

That's one thing that's bugged me about him. He claims to be worth $10 billion or whatever but where are all these entities with people he's employing in the US? The casinos are gone. Hotels seem to be slipping away. The golf courses are losing money like crazy. Where are all his employees and why isn't there some sort of a faction of his employees campaigning for their boss?

Am I missing something?

I suspect he's a complete bombastic fraud.

4. Does Trump have a financial interest in digital consulting/online advertising business?

I know he charges his campaign for the use of his private plane and over charges for rent in his building so can only assume that he might be making money from the digital consulting/online advertising firm.

can't wait to see major changes happen to the outrageous amount of money being spent on buying one's way into the white house.
