Kickbacks are staples in the businesses he's in. Part of the deal.

For example, a contract to furnish a hotel with a furniture manufacturer will have prices inflated by that kickback, which is handled through other channels.

If Trump doesn't take kickbacks, he'll be the only one who does that in such deals.

BTW, for those who don't know, a standard bundle of $100 bill is $10,000. That's what a "bundle of money" means.
