Trump Spent 239 Million to WIN. Clinton Spent 450 Million to LOSE
Donald Trump won the White House on the “cheap.”
Under budget and ahead of schedule – that is how Donald Trump rolls and exactly what we need in America.
From CNBC:
Donald Trump’s campaign spending kept trailing rival Hillary Clinton’s cash burn ahead of his surprise presidential victory last month and after it.
The Republican candidate spent $94.5 million from Oct. 28 to Nov. 28, while his Democratic rival spent $131.8 million in the same period, according to Federal Election Commission reports filed Thursday. Clinton’s spending spiked much more dramatically in the final days — Trump’s expenses rose from about $49 million in the Oct. 1 to Oct. 19 period, while Clinton’s climbed from about $50 million.
For perspective, President Barack Obama’s campaign spent $176.4 million from Oct. 18 to Nov. 26, 2012. Republican nominee Mitt Romney reported spending $105.3 million in the same period.
Despite his comparatively frugal effort, Trump did increase spending in some key areas ahead of Election Day.
Trump’s campaign spending on “placed media” doubled to $38.9 million in the newly reported period, up from $19.3 in the first few weeks of October. “Digital consulting/online advertising” expenses spiked to $28.9 million from $14.2 million.
That nearly $29 million chunk went to Giles-Parscale, the firm of Trump advisor and digital director Brad Parscale. The campaign spent more than $70 million there for the cycle.
Payroll spending about doubled to $1.1 million.
Trump also reported about $3 million in campaign expenses at his family businesses. He routinely used his own properties for events, lodging and transportation throughout the campaign.
The vast majority of Clinton’s spending, meanwhile, went to media. Her campaign reported $72.3 million in “media buy” expenses. Payroll expenses of $4.7 million more than quadrupled Trump’s.
The final campaign costs:
Donald Trump spent $5 per vote.
Hillary Clinton spent $8.80 per vote.
Total campaign spending: 2016
Clinton: $450 million
Trump: $239 million

Killary and the commie globalist could have spent triple that it still would have not got her in the WH . We The Real Americans will never let them kill this country and her people . It will be many many years till they even have a half decent front runner to put up for POTUS and still will not get back in to the WH . We will keep them out for ever .
And the thing is, Clinton and her lunatic liberal fringe still can’t get it clear that she lost because AMERICA WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER! Simple as that. George Soros poured scads of money in to helping her win and it still didn’t matter. HILLARY LOST. BIG TIME! We’ve had enough of her lies, her corruption, her inept ability to handle any job every handed to her.
