Okay.

Two things on that:

Trump has a long way to go to come anywhere near $100 million in personal donations. Even if he did start dumping tens of millions into his campaign in the final days of the race, it's likely going to be too late.

We got a look at the state of the Trump campaign's finances on Thursday night. He raised just under $29 million in the first 19 days of October as compared with more than $57 million for Hillary Clinton. He had $16 million on hand; Clinton had $62 million.

Trump gave his campaign only $31,000 in in-kind contributions over that period, bringing his total investment in the campaign to $56 million. But much of that spending came during the Republican primary process. Trump, after some controversy, wound up forgiving personal loans totaling $50 million in mid July.

AD

Since then, Trump has dropped roughly $2 million a month of his own money into the campaign. As far as we know, he hasn't yet done so in October. (The latest fundraising filing only covers donations through the 19th of the month.)

It is, of course, possible that since the filing deadline closed last week, Trump has dropped the $44 million that would bring him up to $100 million in personal donations to the campaign. But if he had already done so, doesn't it seem like he would have made sure to tell everyone? He's not exactly the kind of guy who hides his light under a bushel, after all.

AD

Assuming then that Trump hasn't written that $40 million-plus check — or even a $10 million check — it's almost certainly already too late for it to have much impact, even if he does it as soon as he reads this post. (I assume he reads all my posts. No?)

AD

Why? Because money in a presidential campaign can do two basic things for you: 1. TV ads and 2. organization (staff, etc). But with less than two weeks before the election, it's very hard to see how either could have much effect.

TV ad time in any state where you'd want to run campaign spots has already been totally bought up — and has been for weeks, if not months. To the extent that Trump can get any time, it would be in less-than-appealing time slots. News adjacencies — commercials that run before, during and right after your local or national news — were snapped up months ago.

AD

Trump could use millions in last-minute personal donations to hire more people to try to turn out the vote for him. But organizations aren't built in a week or a month. And the sort of person who would be available this late in the election cycle isn't exactly the cream of the crop when it comes to organizing skills.
