The president of the United States, Donald Trump, is ready to use the money from his private fortune in the campaign for his reelection on November 3. “If I have to, I will,” Trump said Tuesday in response to a question from reporters. Trump added: “Whatever it takes, we have to win.” “This is the most important election in the history of our country,” he said before leaving for performances in the states of Florida and North Carolina.
Since early 2019, Trump’s campaign for re-election in 2020 has already cost around $ 800 million (€ 678 million), more than double that of his Democratic challenger Joe Biden. Despite high spending, Biden is consistently leading the polls.
The New York Times reported generous spending by Brad Parscale, Trump’s former campaign manager. Under his direction alone, $ 11 million is said to have been spent on two commercials shown during the Super Bowl.
Trump’s new campaign manager, Bill Stepien, on the other hand, has made cutting costs a priority. Trump told the short message service Twitter that any financial difficulties were the fault of the media, as he was forced to “spend money to counter fake news.”
“Forbes” magazine, meanwhile, reports that Trump has clearly crashed into the list of the richest people in the world. His company had to make significant cuts during the corona pandemic. In particular, its office buildings, hotels and resorts suffered from measures taken to contain the corona virus. According to Forbes, the president of the United States has dropped from 275 to 352 among the richest people in the world. His fortune has shrunk from an estimated $ 3.1 billion to $ 2.5 billion.
