As reports came in that Hillary Clinton has raised (at least) $16 million more than Donald Trump, people on social media emphasized the irony of a man as rich as The Donald coming up short in his campaign pocketbook.
People love to mock The Donald, but they really went crazy this time. Perhaps because Trump constantly brags about how right and successful he is, #TrumpSoPoor trended nationwide for more than 12 hours. Users enjoyed the irony, and explained just how sad Trump’s candidacy has become.
Here are the 12 most ridiculous #TrumpSoPoor tweets, with explanations as necessary.

5. Self-funding — actually means the campaign will be paying for Trump!
When #TrumpSoPoor said he’s “self-funding”, we ass-u-med he meant paying 4 his own campaign. He meant the campaign is funding HIM. @Lawrence

1. Don’t forget that both candidates lie about their wealth.
Hillary claims to be dead broke but is filthy rich. Trump claims to be filthy rich but is dead broke. Sad! #TrumpSoPoor

And a bonus — hilarious!
Even “dying dying magazine” @NRO has more money on hand than @realDonaldTrump campaign.
