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.”

    I actually think this represents something much more ominous. Everyone on here assumes he’s incompetent because he’s bankrupted companies before. He’s done that with reason, and likely it was because he’s laundered money using the trick. I think in the case of the RNC and his campaign funds it indicates he’s found fraudulent means to pay for everything and he has access to tremendous amounts of dark money via foreign adversaries. The Truth Social IPO is one possible source. I actually doubt that one because he likely sees it as his own money. PACs will close the gap, but I’d be willing to bet there’s some other scheme filling his coffers. Draining alternative sources of money for GOP candidates also enables him to manipulate everyone down ballot since they’ll be aware of the scheme or stuck on his teat. This is a very, very bad sign for politics and we’re at the endgame for a US totalitarian government.
