    How dare a presidential candidate's campaign spend campaign funds on campaign ads! :roll: Also, Brad Parscale (who was in charge of most of these spending decisions, as campaign manager) has been replaced.

    Are you offering free fries with this nothingburger of yours?

    No, tha
    um...yeah you are talking about the past...last month....my link was to a numbers from last month as well....sounds like we are on the same page.

    With that said, the OP is silly....somoeone's opinion of wheather money was well spent or not, is merely an opinion....I am sure most dems think any money raised and spent by Trump was foolishly spent....and visa versa

    Yep... The end of August.

    If he spent it on campaign ads that would be a different story. No, he has been funneling money to his relatives, a major hush campaign for former WH officials, and paid attendees at his rallies.

    Depends on how much they've leveraged Biden's campaign. I don't have access to up-to-the-minute debt figures, and neither does anyone else.

    I guess democrats aren’t used to seeing someone use their campaign money on the campy. Instead they raise campaign funds that never get used lol. Just sitting around doing nothing...don’t wanna “squander it”.

    Trump spends his campaign money like he runs the government, the biggest debt by any President ever

    and that doesn't even include the places he won't ever pay

    if Trump hires you, ask for payment up front

    Trump spent more than any other President has in 4 years ever, in a great economy, the debt should have gone down

    Trump did not have a great economy, interest rates were low and the fed was dumping billions into the economy to keep it afloat, those things also do not happen during a great economy

    Trump spent less than Obama and had a better economy.
    Trumps economy was fantastic, far better than Obama’s whole spending less . He outperformed Obama easily.

    the debt rose more under Trump's 4 years than either of Obama's 4 years, in fact more than any other President's 4 years

    if what you said was true, the interest rates would have gone up and the fed would not of been dumping billions into the economy

    Trump first 3 years prior to the pandemic he out performed Obama with better numbers and less money spent. This is an objective truth regardless of how you choose to “feel” about it. He broke Obama’s trends and did so by finding that magic wand and made a great economy that only a global pandemic could hurt.

    literally spent less than Obama and achieved more
