Normally They Wait Until After The Election

I've done the math on it based on his own campaign website. Using his own planning, and plugging in current numbers, the very nost he can fund is about 5% of the total expense, and that comes at a significant cost in our relations with our #3 trading partner.

Not wise statecraft, at all.
