Trump disclosed this known in a post X on Sunday, noting that the Democrats, despite raising a record amount of money during the 2020 Presidential Election, did not have much left
Trump stated that the Democrats are being squeezed by vendors and others.
He wrote, “I am very surprised that the Democrats, who fought a hard and valiant fight in the 2020 Presidential Election, raising a record amount of money, didn’t have lots of $’s left over.
“Now they are being squeezed by vendors and others. Whatever we can do to help them during this difficult period, I would strongly recommend we, as a Party and for the sake of desperately needed UNITY, do.”
“We have a lot of money left over in that our biggest asset in the campaign was ‘Earned Media,’ and that doesn’t cost very much. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he added.
