Trump Has Now Shifted $1.3 Million Of Campaign-Donor Money Into His Business

Donald Trump has charged his own reelection campaign $1.3 million for rent, food, lodging and other expenses since taking office, according to a Forbes analysis of the latest campaign filings. And although outsiders have contributed more than $50 million to the campaign, the billionaire president hasn’t handed over any of his own cash. The net effect: $1.3 million of donor money has turned into $1.3 million of Trump money.

Quite the tidy profit, isn't it?

Thoughts?

Trump Has Now Shifted $1.3 Million Of Campaign-Donor Money Into His Business

Thoughts?

But have you noticed how he donates his presidential salary?

federal regulations allow candidates to put campaign money into their own businesses only if they pay going rates. Given the varying opinions on whether $3,000 a month constitutes a fair price, however, it seems unlikely that the payments will spark an investigation by the Federal Election Commission. “If something is really egregious, yeah, it’s there,” says Bradley Smith, a Republican who served as a commissioner of the FEC from 2000 to 2005. “But they’re just not going to try to pick apart things on a difference of a few percentage points and try to second-guess what should be paid.”

Seems like a nothing burger once again.... you'll also notice it's the campaign committee that's doing the business not Trump directly. Every Presidential campaign spends donors money on the running of the campaign and that includes rents, food and other necessities.

“I’m using my own money. I’m not using the lobbyists. I’m not using donors. I don’t care. I’m really rich.”

That healthy tax cut he gave himself, his businesses and progeny didn't hurt him very much either, I presume.

How much more does he need?

Evidently people love him enough to take care of that for him.

Now if I hated Donald bad enough, I'd find a way to make that look like a bad thing, but I don't...so looks like a pretty good thing to me.

I thought the promise was that he was going to pay the campaign?

not vice versa...

Maybe i misunderstood, didn't he give businesses in general, a tax cut?

IOW, if he helps any business thrive in order to get the country back on track, so does his as a residual to that, hence he should just not do that at all?

Quite literally, it is the “Trump White House.”

ROFLOL.

I thought I was pretty clear...You do understand the concept of "things change" right? Evidently he now doesn't have too, sensible people have chosen to make sure he gets back in, while it's also clear, the haters are just going to whine about this and anything else he does....nothing unusual here.

That’s prescious. The President needing a little “pocket money”.

Right -- sensible people show their devotion by giving him money.

You sure you're not a hater, Kenny? I'll bet you haven't given him a dime.

I've seen this scam before...

?

They show their support for the want of a better better America...You know, as much as some just can't stand it, some clearly think he's doing a good job...what "scam"?

Grifting? Many of his critics believe him to be using the office to enrich himself.

Me. Trump continues to practice his business as he has for decades: lying, cheating, stealing and self-dealing.

have you given Donald any of your money yet?

 

[Kenny'sID]

And?

He was being accused of that well before the election. Then you are saying anything that might trickle down and affect him in a positive way, should not be done.

He's here to make the country better, so that's naturally going to affect most of the country in a positive way, it can't be avoided regardless what president is doing it.

 

[TLK Valentine]

And?

and.... Why haven't you given him your money yet?

 

[Kenny'sID]

No, And?

Also, my budget, and why it is what it is, is none of your business.

Would you say I do or do not support him? And how bout you, what are you doing to improve things?
