Trump, the billionaire businessman whose outsider appeal was bolstered by his seeming ability and desire to self-fund his campaign, only gave $31,000 to his effort over the first three weeks of October. This after as recently as Wednesday the Republican presidential nominee insisted he will cross the $100 million threshold by the end of the election, something GOP allies have urged him to do for months to resuscitate his stumbling campaign and augment their capabilities on the air and the ground.

I thought he promised at an event the other day to spend $100m of his own money.

Trump has known since at least the Alicia Machado fiasco that he's toast.  I think he knew it after the Khan family. 

He's cutting his financial losses.  And he's sabotaging his own campaign.

He'd have to spend more than 40 million in what?  10 days?  I don't see that happening.

It is to be expected when running as a Trojan Stalking Horse for Hillary.

The hoped-for rewards will come later from the one he cleared the path for.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
