#TrumpSoPoor

Duh! Of COURSE Trump has virtually no "cash on hand!" Have you seen his hands?

THE ONE PRESIDENTIAL candidate who’s staked his reputation on being “really rich” is actually not all that rich, at least, not as far as his campaign is concerned.

On Monday, the Federal Election Commission’s monthly report revealed a historic gap between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump’s campaign war chests. Where Clinton ended the month with $42 million in cash on hand, Trump rounded out May with just $1.3 million. To put that in context, that’s less than the $1.8 million Ben Carson’s campaign still has left, and Carson dropped out of the race in March.

Word traveled fast, and overnight, the hashtag #TrumpSoPoor began trending on Twitter, spawning endless tweets about his business dealings…

my favorite:

#TrumpSoPoor his next trophy wife will be from Mexico.

but the "joke" you referenced was not funny. It's sexist and an insult to Mexicans. Poor choice.

The $ will definitely be needed if GOP gets its act together. And if it does not, there are plenty of Dem candidates down ticket who could use help.
