Campaign donation filings have come out from the Trump campaign and they are NOT good:
Trump’s campaign only has $1,289,507 cash on hand. that is completely nuts.

For those wondering "what does $1.3 million in the bank mean?"
Answer: it's the equivalent of a House member w/ a semi-competitive seat.— Phil Mattingly (@Phil_Mattingly) June 21, 2016
It's hard to explain how bad $3.1 million raised is in a month when you become the presumptive presidential nominee.

Wowowow. Trump raised all of $1.1M from donors over $200. Loaned himself a further $2.2M.

Donald J. Trump began June with $1.3 million in cash on hand.
Clinton had $42 million.
That is all.— Nick Confessore (@nickconfessore) June 21, 2016
Hillary and her PACs are running $117M on ads. Trump and his PACs are running $700K. That's a 167 to 1 advantage. Trump is beyond toast.

Wow. Clinton raised $26.4 million in the same period. So almost nine times as much as Trump did. https://t.co/4woJeuGDRb

Overall, Team Trump has about $21 million in cash on hand. Team Clinton has over $100 million. There are no recent precedents for this.

The cash that Trump has on hand ($1.28m) is roughly .01% of his alleged worth ($10b). Maybe time to sell a building?

Oh, he paid Tag Air $349,000.
Guess who owns Tag Air?
Guess!
GUESS!

This is really making some wonder if Trump actually wants to win. Does he seriously believe he doesn’t need ads and he’ll get all the free advertising he’ll need to combat Hillary’s messaging? Either there’s something else going on here, or he’s a complete idiot.
