Fcukin' con artist....
Whats just as telling as how much money the Trump campaign has raised, however, is where exactly that money is going. The answer: back into Trumps pockets. According to the FEC filing, nearly 20 percent of Trumps campaign expenditures have been spent on Trump-owned venues and airlines, as well as on members of the Trump family.
Talk about a self-funded campaign. Trump is, quite literally, funneling money back to himself. There are, for instance, a number of payroll disbursements to Donald J. Trump himself. There is a $423,000 payout to his Mar-A-Lago golf club and a $349,000 payment to Tag Air, a Trump-owned airline. And thats just from May. Theres also a nearly $30,000 rental expense for Trump International Golf Club, and a nearly $36,000 fee for Trump National Golf Club. The list goes on.
