Ice Cube has responded to a clearly edited photo shared by Eric Trump showing himself and 50 Cent wearing Trump hats, despite such a headwear moment never having actually occurred.

Cube quoted the tweet in question on Tuesday, adding only "N**** please..." as commentary. Shortly after Cube's response, the tweet—which was flagged by Twitter with a "manipulated media" warning—was removed.

President Trump’s re-election campaign committee ended September with only $63.1 million in the bank even after canceling some television buys late last month, leaving him badly outmatched financially against Joseph R. Biden Jr. in the final stretch of the campaign.

 

New filings with the Federal Election Commission showed the extent of Mr. Trump’s cash troubles, which caused the president to fly to California last Sunday for a fund-raiser with just over two weeks until Election Day. The president ended September with just over half as much money as he had at the beginning of the month.

 

While Mr. Trump’s campaign and its shared committees with the Republican National Committee have raised $1.5 billion since the start of 2019, the disclosures late Tuesday showed that his main re-election committee had only a small slice remaining. That account must pay for many of the race’s most important costs, including television ads.

 

All told, Mr. Trump’s campaign and its shared committees with the R.N.C. had $251.4 million entering October, compared to Mr. Biden’s campaign and its joint committees with the Democratic National Committee, which had $432 million in the bank.

Mr. Biden’s campaign committee had not yet filed its full September report but he entered the month with $180 million cash on hand in that account compared to Mr. Trump’s $121 million and the president’s $900,000 in debts at the start of September.

 

“Yikes,” wrote Rufus Gifford, one of Mr. Biden’s deputy campaign managers who oversees fund-raising, when Mr. Trump’s cash-on-hand haul became public. He added, “Remember when Trump said he would fund his own campaign if he needed to? Well… He needs to.”

 

Mr. Trump’s campaign has been seeking to trim costs for more than two months, since Bill Stepien replaced Brad Parscale as campaign manager.

 

Under Mr. Parscale, the campaign spent heavily as it invested in constructing a massive database of email addresses and phone numbers to reach supporters and ask for money. But as the election as neared, hopeful projections for a massive uptick in contributions have not materialized.

 

Also on Tuesday, the R.N.C. announced that it entered October with $78.1 million cash on hand, after it spent $36 million more than it had raised in September in its effort to boost Mr. Trump in the final months of the election.
