TRUMP’S LATEST LIE JUST FLOORED REPUBLICANS: REVEALS HIS CAMPAIGN IS BROKE

For months, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump has bragged about not only how much money he himself had, but about how much money the campaign he was supposedly self-funding had. Well, it turns out that like most everything else that comes out of Trump’s mouth, this was nothing more than a boldfaced lie.

According to the Washington Examiner, this revelation came last week when Paul Manafort, Trump’s senior advisor, met with a group of Senate Republican chiefs of staff for lunch and told them the truth: Trump’s campaign is broke.

One GOP source familiar with Manafort’s comments said that this essentially means that not only will Trump’s campaign be much more dependent upon the RNC during the general election than he led everyone to believe, but he will also be unable to launch television ads and other such promotions for his campaign throughout the next few months.

They know that they’re not going to have enough money to be on TV in June and probably most of July, until they actually accept the nomination and get RNC funds, so they plan to just use earned media to compete on the airwaves,” said the source.

But this certainly isn’t what Trump said last week when he tried everything he could to make it look like the signing of a fund-raising agreement with the RNC was to benefit the party, not himself and his own broke ass campaign. “The RNC really wanted to do it, and I want to show good spirit,” said Trump. “‘Cause I was very happy to continue to go along the way I was.”

How committed the RNC will be to Trump and his campaign remains to be seen, though. “I don’t think the RNC is 100 percent committed,” a GOP donor told CNN. “If Donald Trump’s seven points down in October, they’re going to put that money toward Senate races and House races.”

Senate GOP chief-of-staff who attended last week’s lunch said that Manafort seemed confident. “He said that he thought Hillary Clinton was the ideal opponent — that he was the ultimate outsider and she was the ultimate insider.”

However, this preemptive pissing and moaning about just how the RNC will decide to divide their funds has many Republicans convinced that Trump plans to blame the RNC if he doesn’t manage to pull off a win. “He’s going to blame it on the RNC if he doesn’t win in November,” the first source said. “They’re laying that groundwork now.

From what Manafort has said, it doesn’t look like Trump has any intention of putting his own money into the campaign over the course of the summer. His plan to depend on the media to further his campaign over the next two months caused mixed feelings among conservatives.
