Trump's April FEC report. Am I correct in understanding that Trump's campaign is 43m in debt?
(There is an appallingly large number of typos in there with regards to decimal points and commas... are the vetted by anyone? )
5. Covering Period 01-APR-16 Through 30-APR-16
6. Cash on Hand at BEGINNING of the Reporting Period 2,111,070.09
7. Total Receipts This Period 9,659,099.97
8. Subtotal (6 + 7) 11,770,170.06
9. Total Disbursements This Period 9,361,528.11 10. Cash on Hand at CLOSE of the Reporting Period 2,408,64.95
That seems low? Oh well, May one should be released soon enough.
Trump raised $3 million for the RNC in the last two weeks of May. That also seems low even taking into account Romney probably had the whole month of May to raise that $25.9 million for the RNC that month.

I think that he has $2 MM on hand not counting the loans, but the loans were mostly from himself to the campaign so they don't really matter as long as he raises the money eventually.

Probably by whoever vetted Sarah Palin.

Hoo boy. If I'm reading this right, he's WAAAAAAAAAAAAY outspending her... on what, exactly?
No, her disbursements are way higher.
The debt is massive, because that's how his campaign is being funded. He loans his campaign massive amounts of money. They're getting almost no straight up donations.
Trump isn't a stakeholder in the long term health of the RNC. I would be interested to learn after the fact how much he and his family profited off or salary and services contracted this own hotel/event hosting companies. It's just the GOP long con directed inward to the party now that the nominee has no interest in the GOPS's long term health.
Lewandowski is just one less item on the balance sheet for the campaign.

So Trump's also bankrupting himself doing this?
Well, wouldn't be the first time those words have been spoken....
He's bankrupting his campaign, which honestly a lot of campaigns end up under water after election while paying himself, his staff whose last name is trump and the hotels/golf courses where he hosts some events money.
Also, I'm probably too drunk to post, so I'll stop. I lurk so much and only post shitfaced.

Problem is that the donor class that he would need to make that kind of con work isn't putting anything down until trump matches it, so there is nothing on the table for him to grift.
Ain't no spitting out the hook on this one.

SteevLWhat can I do for you?Registered Userregular
Apparently some guy from the UK tried to grab a cop's gun to shoot Trump:
I've considered the Trump assassination scenario before. Not as a matter of planning an attack, obviously, but as a thought experiment with various public figures. I sometimes do that to try to think through how it shakes out politically, who gains, who loses, etc. I can say unequivocally that I do not want Trump assassinated.
I want him beaten, I want him repudiated, I want the voting population to give a full-throated rebuttal of everything he stands for. A bullet robs us of that opportunity. Steals the chance for America to say "No, we will not treat people who are different from us this way."

Agreed, Trump's an ass, but I don't want him murdered.
Also, as an aside, it's interesting to note this guy had to try and go for a cop's gun because he couldn't obtain one himself.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Can we not?
Seriously, as much as I disagree with Trump, I don't want anything ending in blood.
Not do what? I don't want blood either.
I'm pointing out that this guy needed to try and steal a weapon off a police officer to shoot someone, and yet here in the States the GOP is getting petitioned to allow open carry at their convention.

Technically he can't be murdered. It'd be an assassination at this point since he's a major public figure. Which, being shot is what ended Huey Long and George Wallace's campaigns. (And RFK) Though not Reagan. Nor the attempts of shooting Bush the Greater, Clinton, Bush the Lesser, and Obama.
Ugh. Coming immediately after the murder of a Member of Parliament in the UK, this feels especially depressing.
yeah, we've been failing spectacularly at political discourse lately. its depressing that we've allowed ourselves to reach a point where we feel violence is a legitimate tactic.
Wait, that only works when the target is a Dem, nevermind.

I'm just saying, and it's not just me who's saying this, lots of people are saying it to me all the time, it's time for the white British population to start working with us to turn in these radicalized white people, because they know who they are, oh yes they do, they absolutely do, and they're not telling us, and they have to start.
First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKERS

It was John Oliver who brought Trump's tiny, infant-like hands to national attention.
Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, and when it happens, three times is hip-hip jolly-good and all that rot.

Trump vs Hillary last month
Hoo boy. If I'm reading this right, he's WAAAAAAAAAAAAY outspending her... on what, exactly?
Plus getting hardly a fraction of contributions while piling on the debt.

Part of the yuuuge expenditures was his giant loan to his own campaign, I think?
Making 30 29 28 people very rich.
That is some close to incomprehensible rambling that I don't fully get.
Hey, he more than doubled his staff!
Yep to Trump himself

Trump's business history is bankrupting companies while raiding them for executive salary and bonuses. There's a NYT article on how this was done for his casinos. He's now using that methodology on the RNC.

The numbers are clear.
Glad that it didn't get anybody killed. That could have easily resulted in a wounded or dead person.
