Donald Trump is likely annoyed by how much money President Joe Biden has been raising, but the former president should worry instead on the campaign cash he himself is wasting, a Republican strategist argued Saturday

Susan Del Percio’s column for MSNBC on “why Trump should be worried” delves into Biden’s “clear” advantage and the impact it will have on a man who, she argues, puts great stock in financial worth.

“These kinds of strong fundraising totals make for great headlines,” Del Percio wrote of Biden’s $26 million campaign fundraiser. “But they must also irk Trump.”

But Del Percio argues Trump should pull his focus away from how much Biden has raised and look instead at what his Democrat challenger is doing with the millions he raises.

“How you spend your campaign funds is what matters,” she wrote. “And so far, Biden has chosen wisely.”

    Trump doesn’t need campaign money. All he has to do is hold a rally. The media covers everything he says and does 24/7. He gets free coverage daily.

    Look at this point Biden can spend billions and still not change a single Trump vote to Biden one. Trump a cult and the media helps him. And still 43% of Republicans going vote for Trump which is fucking nuts.

    If the media would blacklist him and all his money going to legal fees maybe he would go the fuck away.

    But as long as they keep reporting he doesn’t need money to campaign.

      I think Matt Christman said it best that “Trump is a tumor made out of America.”

      Yeah it was winter 2015 when the bi-partisan media began covering Trump as a frontrunner. It wasn’t even conservative media Trump’s cult was sharing as memes online either, it was compilations of liberal news anchor’s with “shocked” faces at every stupid Trump tweet. Washington Post (I think?) even had the infamous Trump lie tracker. Some people still gaze at his two impeachments, legal troubles, moral failings, health issues, and despite this in relation to his current position keep obsessing about the next big thing right around the corner.

        I mean all Trump did was say the most outrageous things and media covered it over and over. So he keeps doing that and they give him press. He is the embodiment of any press is good press.
