During an interview with Fox News Radio’s “Kilmeade and Friends” on Tuesday that was first reported by Buzzfeed, Ed Rollins, co-chairman of the Great America PAC, talked about how the Trump campaign was struggling to respond to attacks from Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham ClintonJeff Flake: Republicans 'should hold the same position' on SCOTUS vacancy as 2016 Momentum growing among Republicans for Supreme Court vote before Election Day Warning signs flash for Lindsey Graham in South Carolina MORE.

“The Trump campaign, at this point, is (playing) catch-up,” he said. “I think the dilemma was, he talked about self-funding his campaign, he self-funded his primary, now he certainly doesn’t have the resources, or says he doesn’t have the resources, to self-fund the rest of the way, so it’s a scramble to get the money and get the resources together.

“I mean we will get there,” Rollins added, “it’s just right at this particular time, we are not prepared to counter attack, at least the PAC I am involved in doesn’t have the ability to counter attack.”

During the primary, Trump touted his ability to self-fund his campaign as making him immune to wealthy donors and lobbyists. Since becoming the presumptive nominee, however, he has begun courting wealthy donors to raise money for his campaign as well as for the Republican National Committee.
