Seems the Donald is TRIPLING the rent he is charging the RNC for their office space in his - repeat-his Trump Towers from 35K a month to over 165K and cutting back on the staff at his campaign headquarters. In addition he billed the RNC for "conferences" held at his golf courses to the tune of over 250k. And that private jet with his name boldly proclaiming his presence is ripping off the campaign for close to 1/2 million - costs being funneled to the company that owns the plane (Trump , of course).
Remember that old tale of having a tiger by the tail?

Trump continues to fly to campaign events on his personal Boeing 757 airliner, even though the aging jet burns some $10,000 in fuel every hour. That has made air travel one of the biggest expense categories for his campaign. In July alone, $495,000 went to Trumps company that owns the plane.
The Trump plane spends $10,000 in fuel per HOUR?!
And we know he flies home to Manhattan every single night because he's a diva.
What a disgusting, frivolous display of wealth...

Less money for them to spend on down-ticket campaigns.
