Obama and Romney both spent a little over a billion dollars last election. I'm guessing even more money will be spent this election. His net worth is most likely around 4 billion so he would have to spend over 1/4 of his net worth to match that amount. That is hardly pocket change. I just can't imagine someone with Trump ego giving up free money to do that.

Also if he sold of a quarter of his investments to raise money for his run, the sell off would likely lower the value of the remaining investments
