FACT CHECK: Trump hasn't spent money on his campaign since 2016

Donald Trump was asked about the timeline for the $175 million bond payment he owes in the New York civil fraud case.

Trump bragged that he has "a lot of cash" but claimed he wants to use it for his 2024 campaign. Trump alleged "they don't want me to use my cash to get reelected." NBC Senior Capitol Hill Correspondent Garrett Haake pressed Trump on whether he would actually use his personal money on his campaign. Trump responded “yeah” and added "first of all, it's none of your business.”

MSNBC Reports Anchor Chris Jansing has a fact check on Trump’s history of using cash for his own campaigns.

Please keep fact checking this psychopath!

[sallykoch]

It's hard to believe the audacity of this lying, belittling man. His ego knows no bounds!

[Ghost-Mama]

It IS our business to investigate a candidate’s finances to insure that another country isn’t financing their campaign.

[mattsmith]

I don't understand people who vote for a guy who won't show his tax returns and who considers himself unaccountable to the people.

[morphergaming]

His response tells me hes not going to spend a dime.

[seanshah]

The guys a Crook - he’ll swindle gullible folks of their money

[HarrymDecatur]

He won't put anything into his campaign. he is lying

[Luchalu]

How does a so-called billionaire boast about being so wealthy and still "beg" for money from poor, hard-working people?

[holgerbuch]

It is his business. He is a reporter and people need to hear and see what the real Donald is like.

[deadpolymers]

If his base supporters are dumb enough to keep giving him money, do you really think he isn't going to spend it?

[sparkleplenty]

Oh. My. God. Protect 🇺🇸USA. VOTE against this man.
💙

[stephaniedaigle]

He looks so happy. That man is pure evil. He's jealous, angry and out for revenge.

[chrisballas]

He needs to be ignored by everyone. Including reporters. We need to stop dignifying his existence.

[cbro]

He only uses other people's money. He's a user and a liar.

[dyohysm]

None of your business is kind of a weird thing to say to a reporter asking campaign questions. It kind of is his business.

[chuckkayak]

$500 million is owed to the state and people of New York by Mr. Trump.

[donaldspaulding]

When found guilty for fraud and running for public office, it IS our business.

[susanna]

I was married to a subversive systematic narcissist. I would call out what he was doing and that’s exactly what he said, it’s none of your business. Which means you caught them.

[csunedchic]

Yes, if he thinks he can use it to stay out of prison.

[BrooklynAlien]

"it's none of your business" no president has ever spoken like him. He's so disgusting!
