Nothing. Trump remains President. Until Senate votes by 2/3 to remove him and bar him from future office. (Later might only need a simple majority).
“The Trump Fund. Money… for Trump.”
After a point, I think you have less things to spend it on that make any difference. Remember when the Obama campaign bought a cable channel to run his ad 24/7 and was discussing buying ad time on those gas station pump monitors? They literally had more money than they knew what to do with.
True enough, but what are they going to do, vote twice? I believe every vote that he is going to get in 2020 is solidly in his column already. He isn’t going to gain any new voters (save those coming of age in the time between elections). He could spend zero and he could spent a trillion dollars and wind up with very close to the same total. All he can do is attempt to smear his opponent and make him/her unacceptable.
I don’t think you can hit a point where “you have more money than you know what to do with.” I used to work on a political campaign in California. Now, I don’t know how a national campaign differs from a state/local campaign, but presumably, you can hire thousands of employees for your campaign to go door-to-door in swing states to get out the vote, lobby voters, persuade people, make phone calls, etc. If you pay each employee a hefty salary (say, $50,000 a year, which is a lot more than they’d probably get in real life,) that’s already $50 million for a thousand workers. Think of how many millions of Americans in swing states would have to be reached, called, told to get out to vote, etc. and you need a lot more workers than that.
Actually, I’d love to see Trump raise as much as possible and crowd out the down ballot candidates.
It’ll be interesting to see how he runs his campaign. Remember, in 2016, Trump barely went west of the Mississippi in order to be back in NYC for the night. Now, it’s true that most of the battleground states are east of the Mississippi but an incumbent president can certainly boost the down ballot candidates a lot more than a controversial nominee could in 2016z
An interesting point about Trump is that his base is heavily rural and that makes it much harder to canvass as they’re so spread out. Relying on a volunteer who has to drive around rural Iowa during a 2 hour volunteer shift means you’re simply not reaching many voters during that time. Whereas if I canvass for Pete in my very densely populated neighborhood in Chicago, I can reach a lot of voters in that 2 hour volunteer shift. So, I can imagine Trump needing more paid staff that are willing to work 40 hours a week.
I think we all pretty much know how closely funding tracks with “winning” elections over time in america.
May need to hire “illegals” like he and Ivanka do in their other scams.
Wage-slave Trampsters send contributions to a self-proclaimed billionaire… who raised their taxes via tariffs and twice tweeted, “Confiscate guns first, due process later”.
Am I justified in questioning many citizens’ IQ and sanity?
There are many examples of cults out there. Some of them have had such a strong grip on their members that they have committed mass suicide at the urging of the leader.
This is how strong a cult can be. Don’t underestimate it’s power.
According to Trump, Hunter Biden has $1.5 billion from the Chinese government so I’m sure he can lend his dad a bit!
Trump is pouring a lot of money into Internet ads:
Much difference in his campaign? Probably not.
However, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the money doesn’t end up going into campaigns for Senators in close races. Is the money Trump is raising necessarily for his own campaign?
Considering how steep an uphill climb he faces for reelection, I would be surprised if the Trump campaign felt that any of the $$ could be spared for any electoral races other than his alone.
