Trump broke! This is turning into a tragicomedy.
Yep, Trump's Stone Broke (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/yep-trump-s-stone-broke)
Perhaps the most revealing detail about the May filing is that Trump actually did loan his campaign additional funds - a bit over $2 million. But this shows more just how hard up Trump is. His campaign is in desperate need of funds. Like I said, $1.3 million cash on hand is stone broke for a summer presidential campaign. He clearly has no principled resistance to loaning his campaign more money. And he's in desperate need of a few tens of millions of dollars. Put this together with having to be shamed into coughing up the $1 million contribution to a vets organization and the implication is clear: Trump is very hard pressed to come up with even a few million dollars. And this from a man purportedly worth $10 billion.
Trump's promises of vast riches got the GOP into a bind relying on him to fund a general election on his own. But that was all a lie. He's broke or near broke. And the GOP is now facing mid-summer with a campaign that is broke, has no fundraising apparatus, no candidate with big bucks and no field operation. He's done the GOP worse than the most screwed over creditor he ever sharked.

Not that I like Cuban (at all), but he’s on the money here:

"If Trump were fractionally as rich as he says he is,he would write a$200mm check to propel his campaign. He doesn't have the cash."
There are millionaires who have assets, but no cash. And there is, apparently, Trump - a supposed billionaire who can't come up with even millions in cash.
