Kanye West has spent almost $5.9M on his presidential campaign through August, a new filing shows, an effort funded almost exclusively by the rapper himself.

Trump promised a health care plan in 'weeks,' but a month later, it hasn't comeby the end of the summer, August came and went without any such action from President Trump and his administration.

President Donald Trump speaks to reporters as he departs for a trip to Florida from the South Lawn of the White House on July 31, 2020.A few weeks later, he amended that statement. “We’re going to be introducing a tremendous health care plan sometime, hopefully, prior to end of the month,” Trump said during a news conference at the White House in early August, adding: “It’s just about completed.”The White House claims that could change soon but declined to offer any specifics.

Last month, Trump also told reporters during a press briefing that there would be an executive order in the next few weeks “requiring health insurance companies to cover all preexisting conditions for all customers.”when the Affordable Care Act already protects people with preexisting conditions, Trump told reporters it would be “just a double safety net” and “a second platform.”

What an idiot.

Just K West is TRUMPs 'UNCLE TOM' trying to help Trump in election 2020 !

He sure could’ve helped people with that kind of cash . People are unemployed, evicted and homeless, but you go do you.

KimKardashian wuz up with Kanye,

Such a fool

He should have saved his money for psychiatrist bills...

I would love to see Kanye in the debates.

Yea sure. You want us to believe that

Kanye has serious medical issues which disqualifies him please let's not give this any more news time he's done.

A fool and his money will soon part.

If he just wants to toss money away, I’ll take it.

Please. Make it stop.

Good for him. Trump did the same.

Kim, runnn!

He should let it go! He isn’ t a politician & it is a waste of money - think how many of his fans he could feed or house!

Seriously?!? You will still cover that train wreck, but nothing about an actual candidate that’s qualified and on 49 ballots (soon to be 50). Come on Let’s equally cover Jorgensen/Cohen VoterSuppression JoJorgensen2020 politicaldiscrimination

Kanye is almost as bad with money as I am

The guy has zero chance

Spend some more and waste some more

I wonder how many kids he could have helped with that money You know, Education. Medical bills. FOOD. Housing. Just sayin.

Thank you again senator McCain!

Flushing money down the toilet. That’s a good idea.

Didn’t he take 10 million from ppp?

He's STILL campaigning? WHY?

What a waste of money! And I cant even buy a decent car to go to work!! 😩

It is a shame how Trump uses a mentally ill person to win an election. Trump will go to any lengths to get re-elected, even using Republican lawyers to get a mentally unstable person of color on the ballot. I HOPE HE TAKES VOTES FROM YOU IN KENTUCKY.

Pin money...

$5.9M Kayne spent so far on Presidential run (actually to try to take black votes from Biden, so Trump will win). Think of what that money could have done to help a black community.

That's a lot of scholarships

Eat your veggies. You can add cream of mushroom soup and fried onions. Delish.

No one cares

Too bad the money wasn’t used in a more beneficial way. Sad.

He’s using the PPP loan money he received for some reason.

He is the biggest idiot

More money than brains!

Kanye who?! 🙄

So he spent his money on this absurd presidential campaign but had to get money from the government to keel his employees being paid during a pandemic? KanyeConJob

Tell Kanye to give that 1 million dollors tax break Trump gave him to renters thats being evicted

So

Instead of detracting voters from Biden he'll drive them to Biden......in droves

He is a Trump puppet. He wants to divide black votes which were 98% going to joebiden

Any idiot that wastes their vote on Kanye deserves to personally feel the pain of 4 more years of Trump for their sheer ignorance of how the system works. Ignorance is not bliss it’s dangerous. Don’t get played by the KanyeConJob.

He’s still trying to run for president 😂

Kanye is a very sick man.He needs to go away for a long time. He’s also being used by the sicker man in the White House.

Given that his faux campaign is exclusively designed to aid President Trump, takes meetings with the Kushners in Vail, and is staffed by Republican lawyers, $5.9M is less a 'self-funded campaign' and more a less-than-clever attempt to circumvent campaign finance limits.

How much is trump paying him to run?

Geez. What a waste of money. 😞

Wasn’t he begging for $$$ a couple years ago

No one cares - please get help Kanye.

Crazy AND stupid

How does it look the typical West voter? One that will not vote for Trump nor for Biden? Who is most affected?

Whoooooo cares? He's a distraction.

Kanye’s money is well spent compared to Biden’s because at least Kanye has a chance. 👮‍♂️🗽🇺🇸

No one cares

So he's spending his own money to help reelect the most corrupt president in history. Awesome!!!!

Who cares?

Drop in the bucket...

You think he funded it.

Bipolar disorder.

And that's how trump cuts a deal - at someone else's expense. Mentally unstable or not, you're fair game.

He’s still running. 🤔 WHY? And why hasn’t someone checked him into a nice special place where he can get the treatment he so needs?

Kanye West is a spoiler! Done ✅

His own money? How very stupid that he’s letting Donny fleece himself.

Kanye is a 🤡

🤷‍♀️

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Now that’s a sucker and a loser.

Does he have Kimmie’s permission?

What a waist of money. He should of known he never stood a chance. Nor will he ever.

Probably didn’t like this guy

He’s such a bozo

Would people actually vote for him? Why? His wife openly said he was having a breakdown. Why would we want another person with mental problems in the White House?

You mean he spent the $5.9 million in PPP loans the GOP paid him to illegally interfere in the election

He could feed a lot families with that money.

Wasn't he broke like 5 years ago?

So famous but yet so irrelevant... Poor little rich guy.

for christ sake go sit down bro

Of course KANYE WEST, a BLACK MAN spends $5.9M on his Presidential Campaign!!!! Mockery, right in front of you!!!

WELCOME to this telecast

Yeah right. If you follow the money trail I’m almost sure it would lead to Kushner or even Trump himself.

Proving that nobody else in America wants him

So he essentially gave $5 million to Trump

Nutcase

And we care about that how? Most states are not letting him on the ballots which is a good thing...4 yrs of crazy is enough we don’t need Kanye to screw things up...

Republican $$$$$ Money

Lol. No really Lol.

How about that PPE loan money

He's lost his mind lol

Ignorant.

God judges sin

That amount of money means nothing to him it’s like I spent 10 bucks 20 at the most!!

He used all the PPP money he got from trump's stimulus package.

Dig deeper... what about those in-kind donations from trump supporters?

Do You Like kanyewest?

Wasting his time to keep his own kind in bondage..smh..Thank God he is being removed one by one by the states..

Hey trump, how abt all the money Kanye west spent to get on the ballot 5.9 million, now that's a loser and a sucker!!!

Are we sure it's being funded exclusively by the rapper himself?

And Kanye is still more mentally fit than Joe Biden.

I know this isn’t related to the topic but please help support my little brother battling leukemia

To think, LeBron James sponsored a school. 🤔

Keep wasting money Clownye.
