Insiders Say Trump's Campaign Is In Complete Shambles

According to a new report based on conversations with insiders, the Trump campaign is in complete shambles and they say they are at a severe disadvantage as we head into the election. The report notes that the campaign's financial troubles aren't the only problems they're facing - they are also struggling to hire staffers that actually know what they are doing. The RNC is in no better shape, either, creating a nationwide crisis for the Republican Party. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

According to a new report this week from NBC News where they actually spoke to insiders with the Trump campaign. Apparently these insiders are more than willing to talk about the fact and acknowledge the fact that inside the campaign itself, it is nothing but absolute chaos. In fact, as these people put it, it's basically the campaign is in dire straits right now and it's in dire straits. For one main reason, and it's a reason we're all very aware of that reason, of course, is they got no money, they've blown all of their money on Donald Trump's legal fees. And even though Trump swears he made 50 million, you know, at that fundraiser this past weekend, I don't buy that for a second, by the way, the staffers, the people inside the campaign are saying, yeah, we, we don't even have money to hire staffers. In fact, they admitted that in the crucial swings, well, let me just read this.

This is wonderful. Trump's advisors would not disclose staffing levels, but his ground game still seems to be nation, uh, at this stage. His campaign hired state directors in Pennsylvania and Michigan last week. Um, people familiar with the recruitment process said, but one of the staffers said quote, this is like comparing a Maserati to a Honda 2020 had staff and the bodies in place to turn out the vote. This current iteration is starting from ground zero and we're seven months out from the election. It makes no sense and puts them at a huge disadvantage to Biden who is staffing up in droves. So in Pennsylvania and Michigan, in between those two states, they have fewer than five Trump staffers running both of those states. Not five per state, five total for the two crucial swing states of Michigan and Pennsylvania. That's how bad the situation is.

And why is the situation that bad? Why are they not hiring staffers? Because they can't pay them. Now, what's funny about that is that Trump and the RNC together said that, Hey, together we made $65 million in March. Really? Did you? Because if you did, I would think that you would already be spending that money. I mean, we're well into April now, right? I mean, seems like you'd be spending that money to hire staffers, but you're not. So what are you doing with the money if that is in fact how much you raised? Because if you're not gonna be using this money to hire staffers and to run a campaign and to hold rallies, which we know Trump has had to scale back on his rallies 'cause he can't afford to have 'em anymore, then where's the money going? Well, we all know where the money's going. It's going to pay Donald Trump's legal fees. So if you're a Republican donor out there on the fence about whether or not you should give, just understand

That they're boasting about raising tens of millions of dollars all the time. They're just not spending it on running an actual successful campaign. And I think part of that is 'cause one, they're lying about how much they're raising. And the second is because whatever they do raise goes to Trump so he can pay his lawyers. Your donations are going to pay Alina Haba for God's sakes. Is that what you want your money to do? You wanna put it in her pocket? 'cause that's what you're doing. And the even funnier part is they're just talking these staffers, they're just talking about the chaos in the Trump campaign itself.
