The RNC declined to comment, and the Trump campaign would not respond to HuffPost queries about the digital spending. WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s reelection effort has reported spending at least $12 million more for digital ads than platforms like Facebook and Instagram have received for running them. Trump’s campaign and the RNC together have already spent $746 million of the $889 million they have raised since Trump took office. The Trump campaign is obfuscating its spending thanks to a loophole that the FEC has failed to close. She estimated that approximately 80% all of the Trump committees’ digital spending was on Facebook and Instagram — meaning the $37.9 million on those two platforms translates to a total digital spending of approximately $47.4 million.
