Donald Trump says his re-election campaign, despite raising record funds, was forced to spend heavily to counter what he calls Fake News coverage of his administration's handling of the coronavirus, citing his early China travel ban. He insists his campaign has far more money left than at the same point in 2016 and defends his team's performance on the pandemic as doing a great job.

Why now: The former president's comments on pandemic messaging and campaign finances are drawing strong reactions during the 2020 election race.

• Because of the China Virus, my Campaign, which has raised a lot of money, was forced to spend in order to counter the Fake News reporting about the way we handled it (China Ban, etc.). We did, and are doing, a GREAT job, and have a lot of money left over, much more than 2016.... · realDonaldTrump · 60K
