Never Back Down has something like 91 million on hand
All of Trump’s PACs combined have a total of 60 on hand
Actually NBD alone has $96 million and that is separate from the actual campaign which is doing very well also but is smaller because of donation limits. All four of Trump's PACs combined have about $12 million and he has $22 million in his campaign so about $34 million total on hand, less than 1/3rd of Ron's money.
That's not the real concern though for Trump. The real concern is Trump has been spending HUGE and he is not raising money at a fast clip because the big donors have left him. People with serious money don't like to pay for lawyers for someone else and that has been brutal for fundraising for Trump. So if you do the math on how much Trump is spending and how much he has left and how much he is raising at the current rate he will be completely broke by November or sooner.
So that means Trump has to change something. He either needs to cut way back on spending or he needs to find a new source of income. Neither is a great option. Of course he could theoretically self fund but he's not going to do that and in order to do that at this point he would have to sell assets. Trump is asset rich but not very liquid and he has an albatross investment with Truth Social currently that is losing a lot of money for him. That is why Trump's plan has been to try to KO DeSantis early and he has blown his load trying to do so. He has certainly caused damage but DeSantis isn't going anywhere.
DeSantis is in great shape financially. He's got his org set up and running, he's raising a ton of of money with plenty of big donors, and he has a HUGE reserve. He even cut back on costs to make sure he doesn't jump ahead of his skis and is spending more time on Free Media and lower cost events that are retail politics as his plan is to start spending big as we get close to the primaries when Trump is likely to be very short on cash.
Of course all of this can change and Trump is a great draw for Free Media himself. Of course Trump hasn't done well in confrontational interviews so he can only go on Hannity and Maria so many times (while talking about how Fox hates him, lol).
He's got the big polling lead but those polls are based around a perception that he is the clear frontrunner and the best chance to beat Biden. We will see if he can keep that up. Money isn't everything in campaigns but it absolutely matters.

Never back down reminds me a little of the Lincoln project. Lincoln project always seemed to have an infinite supply of funds to throw around. In 2020, I saw more Lincoln project ads on yt than ads from legit biden super pacs or the biden campaign itself.

Trump gets donors for civilians. DeSantis is mainly corporations, guess who will work for the people and who will work for the corporations?

The big money is doing all they. An to avoid Trump and keep their deals in place. It’s amazing to me that the average American can’t see this.

Must be tough having all that grifted money and no matter how much you spend, it won’t change the result.

82% of Trumps donations came from small donors, not a lie.
Those 2020 big donors are supporting Ron and others now.

You pretend this is a bad thing for Ron which is funny. It wasn't a bad thing in 2016 and 2020, but now it is.
Do you know the reason for this? It isn't because the big donors think they can buy Ron or that Trump is just a man of the people like you wackjobs believe.
We know for a FACT the reason. FACT.
The big donors found out where there money is going: Trump's legal fees and those of his people. His PAC is PAYING JASON MILLER'S LEGAL FEES IN A CHILD SUPPORT FIGHT.
Trump is using the vast majority of his funds NOT on:
Ground Game
Ballot Harvesting
Ads
Campaign Structure
Debate Prep
But on legal fees for his people.
Big donors want nothing to do with that nonsense. Trump knows this, so he is taking money from Grandparents retirements to pay his own bills.
Gross behavior that you cucks endorse.

This is just false. DeSantis actually has more donors overall than Trump and has a huge amount of small donors. It's just the big donors that used to give money to Trump have moved to DeSantis. They don't think Trump can win and they don't want to pay his legal expenses.

Actually what those reports show is DeSantis has spent very little of his money and what he has spent has mainly been on infrastructure and ground game. Trump has spent all his reserves already and is on fumes and money isn't coming in very fast to make up for it. Trump spent big to attack DeSantis and on legal fees but that money is drying up while Ron is sitting on a giant stack of cash.
This race hasn't really started is the point, we have basically gotten Trump's best shot in the pre season. Will have to see if it can sustain him as he either operates on a shoestring or he finds a new source of cash.

No kidding. My spam folder for text messages are all Trump campaign begging for money. There's at least 2-3 a day.
They're desperate hitting up anyone whose ever donated to Trump.

You're quoting someone that works for Trump and is one of the biggest pieces of shite in existence.
he routinely verbally abuses people both in person and on twitter. He was calling women "counts" and men "f***tts" the other day.
Real winner
