Trump is making the claim that the RNC has abandoned him by not financing ads in support of his campaign. Setting aside the reality that he abandoned the RNC long ago, this lie of his does not tell his idiot supporters that the decision to not fund Presidential ads was made in 2013 following the expense they cost then. The DNC is also not running ads for Clinton, however, do not expect the pathological whiner to tell you that. How could he play the role of the poor "martyr" if the truth were to be known:

"Has the RNC abandoned Donald Trump? Only if the DNC has turned its back on Hillary Clinton. Politico headlines a report from Ken Vogel and Alex Isenstadt with the news that the RNC has spent nothing on independent expenditures (IE) for TV ads supporting its presidential nominee, but as it turns out, neither party committee has advertised for its nominees.
The RNC spent heavily in 2008 and 2012, but apparently learned a lesson from it:
RNC chief of staff Katie Walsh said that the committee is not going to spend any more money this cycle on television ad IEs, but that the decision is completely unrelated to Trump.
Rather, she said it stems from a strategic calculation made soon after the 2012 election that “that is not an efficient use of party committee dollars to spend money on television.” Pointing to a report that assessed the shortcomings of Republican efforts in the 2012 election, she said RNC leaders determined that the party’s money was better invested in data-driven voter contact operations.
Rather than spend money on their nominee, the DNC has left that to Team Hillary and her super-PACs in the same way that the RNC left it to Trump’s campaign and outside groups. That has led to a large imbalance in advertising — one that far outstrips anything the RNC could have corrected in any case:"
