'Whatever It Takes': President Trump Says He May Spend His Own Money For Reelection Enlarge this image toggle caption J. Scott Applewhite/AP J. Scott Applewhite/AP Updated at 2:45 p.m. This time around, Trump said his campaign has had to "spend more money upfront" to defend his administration's work responding to the coronavirus. At one point former campaign manager Brad Parscale described the Trump 2020 campaign as the "Death Star," and he meant it as a positive — a big, well-funded operation, far more sophisticated than the underfunded band of rebels of the 2016 Trump campaign. Pressed on whether the Trump campaign is experiencing a cash crunch, Stepien told reporters that spending is not "the only factor in determining winners and losers in politics," noting that the campaign had invested early in staff in key states, a different explanation than Trump offered for how they had burned through nearly $1 billion in campaign cash.
