Mileage Psycho Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I guess the start of "Making America Great Again" starts with Trump taking care of Trump, has anyone here sent money or plan to send money to the Trump campaign? Quote Donald Trump’s Self-Funding Includes Payments to Family and Companies Donald J. Trump regularly boasts that he is self-funding his presidential bid, but new campaign finance filings show that he is also shifting plenty of money back to himself in the process. According to documents submitted to the Federal Election Commission, Mr. Trump, whose campaign has just $1.3 million cash on hand, paid at least $1.1 million to his businesses and family members in May for expenses associated with events and travel costs. The presumptive Republican nominee is required by law to account for his spending this way to prevent his companies from making illegal corporate donations to his campaign. In 2015, about $2.7 million was paid to at least seven companies Mr. Trump owns or to people who work for his real estate and branding empire, repaying them for services provided to his campaign. In May, the biggest ticket item was Mr. Trump’s use of the Mar-a-Lago Club, his Florida resort, which was paid $423,000. The campaign paid $350,000 to TAG Air for his private airplanes, $125,000 to Trump Restaurants, and more than $170,000 to Trump Tower, the Manhattan skyscraper that houses the campaign’s headquarters.te and branding empire, repaying them for services provided to his campaign. Mr. Trump’s family also profited from the campaign last month, with his son Eric’s Virginia wine business taking in about $1,300. And Mr. Trump, who has said he will not take a salary if he is elected president, paid himself $3,085 in May. Hillary Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee and Mr. Trump’s main rival this fall, took to Twitter on Tuesday to jab him over the expenditures. “What is Trump spending his meager campaign resources on?” she asked. “Why, himself, of course.” http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/donald-trump’s-self-funding-includes-payments-to-family-and-companies/ar-AAhovaS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member SnowRider Posted June 22, 2016 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) . I'm sure a few of his forum supporters have or are considering sending him money. The mouth breathers in the R primaries believed his hateful rhetoric. Now the rest of the country is learning more about Dump. As a result - his poll numbers and support are falling like a rock. I've said it before and I'll say it again 'Dump has no chance' Edited June 22, 2016 by SnowRider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGNHL Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Who the fuck actually donates to a national political campaign? This is why we need to have campaigns run out of public coffers with a set amount for every candidate, none of these bullshit billion dollar campaigns that basically make every president beholden to their donors and lobbiests... Of course big banks and corporations giving money to candidates doesn't matter if it's "your" candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold War Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Sending money to Trump............ Wait, do you guys send the Clintons money? Sometimes, when the sad commercial comes on with the abused animals and Sarah Malaccan is singing................... I get teary eyed and want to send money, but it passes.
