1. Donald Trump's reelection campaign just posted their FEC filing and it's very odd.
It's two years out and the campaign is spending way more than its taking it.
Over the last 3 months of 2018 it raised about 7 million and spent 23 million!

2. Much of this spending is completely opaque. Over $8 million went to American Made Media Consultants, LLC, a firm started last year by campaign manager Brad Parscale to buy ads and other stuff for the campaign.
Another $690,000 went to Parscale's personal consulting firm

3. The purpose of the FEC reports is so the public can see how campaign funds are spent. American Made Media Consultants, LLC is just a legal fiction created to obscure how the Trump campaign is spending its money. And it's spending A LOT.
Where is it all going?

4. Trump also still owes the Treasury Dept over $1 million, presumably for the use of AirForce One for campaign travel.
