Trump’s campaign has already spent more than $3.5 million in small, targeted ads on Facebook, while an allied group has spent more than $6 million, making him the biggest U.S. political spender since Facebook began tracking ad spending in May 2018.
And just like in 2016, Trump is pairing the heavy spending with an active Twitter feed, dishing out insults and mocking his potential Democratic opponents as their long and crowded race to the nomination gets underway.
