Is Donald Trump making money off his presidential bid?

In the month of May, Trump spent more than $1 million in campaign cash on his own businesses. Put another way, nearly 20 percent of Trump’s campaign spending last month went to benefit Trump-owned companies.

He also spent more than $423,000 to rent out his private Mar-a-Lago club. And in July, Trump’s campaign paid $48,239 to rent the Trump National Golf Club in Westchester County. By comparison, holding an event for thousands of people at the nearby Westchester County Center costs about $10,000.

On rent, the campaign has spent over $830,000 for office space at Trump Tower. In July, it paid over $169,000, up 133 percent from May. Trump officials reportedly said they expanded into more office space in anticipation of additional staff.

Trump Got $1.6M From Secret Service

U.S. Secret Service has paid Donald Trump's campaign a total of about $1.6 million to have their agents fly on a plane owned by Trump.

--------------------------

Normally, the campaign rents the plane. But they don't rent the plane as a body, but rent the seats. For instance, the press corp usually pays for it's own seats and the Secret Service pays the airline for their seats. Only this time, Trump owns the plane.

Wowie Kazowie!

Trump's donors are making him more and more rich.

Remember, we said Trump will scam his minions. And there he is, scamming his minions.

Is it hard to sit down yet?

Go ahead, send him some more money. He has loans to pay off to China, India, Russia and Wall Street. He needs about a billion more.
 
Jealous much? You know that there are other investors that own portions of the Trump enterprises don't you?

Well if he gets elected president you'll see him being given tax breaks left right and center. Some would call it corruption, but others call it "smart business".

How poor is the person who employs you?
 
I like someone who thinks outside the box.

I don't necessarily like a great deal about Trump.

But, if it bothers lefties like @redean, then I am all for it.
 
His grand ambition is to profit, but right now he is completely broke.

So behaviour you disapprove of serves as the model that you believe Trump should emulate.

Interesting.
 
This is one of those weird aspects that the law doesn't cover. Trump is a business man and owns many businesses. I've yet to see anything that says legally he'd have to put his events, plane tickets, etc, out to public bid. That means he can use the services and locations he thinks fits his needs best, which being a business man, means he's choosing his own businesses. Picking another business would be bad PR as it would show a lack of confidence in his own services and companies.

At the same time, this looks corrupt as all get out. The Bush administration took a lot of flack for Cheney's connections with Halliburton despite the fact that Cheney wasn't actively on their board as VP and Halliburton is literally the only folks providing some of the services the US Government needed at the time. It's generally seen as poor form in the US politics for someone to get rich off running a campaign or their time in office. Trump's decisions during his campaign raise questions about how he'd handle things during his presidency.
 
Typical Right-winger, too LAZY to even click on a link!!!
Get a job you lazy fuck!

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump's businesses have been paid $8.2 million by his campaign, according to a new report, roughly 7% of the entire amount of money his campaign has spent.

Politico's analysis of Trump's campaign finance filings found that Trump's campaign, which has been largely funded by other donors and not Trump in the general election, has paid $1.3 million in rent for his campaign offices, more than a half-million dollars for food and facilities towards his companies, and more than a third of a million dollars to Trump's corporate staffers.

That arrangement is a unique one in modern politics: No other recent presidential candidate has funneled anywhere near that amount of money from private donors back into their own business enterprises.
