Earlier this weekend, the Washington Examiner reported that Paul Manafort allegedly told a “group of Senate Republican chiefs of staff” at a lunch last week that the Trump campaign is low on cash and won’t “have enough money to be on TV in June and probably most of July, until they actually accept the nomination and get RNC funds”:

Manafort admitted Trump camp is low on money between now and convention. They need RNC cash. https://t.co/kb2DNjAyRT pic.twitter.com/iwsqNKhIk6

Trump took to Twitter Sunday evening to hit back at his critics, saying that because of his net worth, his “campaign has perhaps more cash than any campaign in the history of politics”:

Good news is that my campaign has perhaps more cash than any campaign in the history of politics- b/c I stand 100% behind everything we do.

That might be true if Trump decides to sell a building or something, but in terms of cash on hand, it’s not even close:
