Yeah, sounds like they're lying...some more.
I agree and that is normal for Trump and co. There is this that I found in my politics news feed. May not know until Nov., but my theory is that on the Right, Trump is hoovering up all the donations that would have gone into Congressional and local elections.
“We have squeezed every last penny in a period of time when the pennies are harder to come by,” a GOP digital strategist said.

For years, Anna Cypert responded to the daily texts, calls and letters that she received from Democrats asking for money, often marked URGENT or SOS. The former nurse sent what she could: $5 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee or $25 to Joe Biden, adding up to more than 750 individual donations over the last decade. Last August, she stopped.
Cypert told NOTUS that she cut back on donating to campaigns due to the high cost of living, especially as a retiree on Social Security, though her political views have stayed the same. Across the country, other donors are similarly refusing to pull out their credit cards this cycle in what started as a subtle decline of small-dollar political giving but is rapidly becoming a major problem for campaigns.
“I don’t have very much money,” said Cypert, who is 83 and lives near her daughter in Minnesota. “I was very generous when I was working. I love Joe Biden, and I’m voting for him.”
In a stark reversal from recent political history, both parties have seen a significant decline this election cycle in the small-dollar contributions they harvest via text and email, largely from rank-and-file voters of modest means. Gone are the days when any candidate could expect to rake in small donations, according to Republican and Democratic digital strategists. Instead, only the smartest campaigns — and the perennial guests on Fox News — see the type of cash influx that was routine five years ago.
