Trump the ultimate Con Man, Cons the RNC to pay for his campaign with GOP contributions

Trump Campaign Paid $1.1 Million to Trump Businesses and Family Last Month

Trump gets the RNC to finance his campaign. Then Trump hires his own companies to bill the Trump for President Campaign. Next Trump puts the RNC money in his own personal pocket. What a great swindler Donald Trump is. He is Don the Con, running the best Con game in town.

ever made money from running for president. Right up front, and his audience lapped it up.

I think this could answer the question of whether he is about to drop out. At this point he owes himself $40 million. He would want to raise that money in donations so he could pay himself off before withdrawing, if he's considering it at all. Or maybe he'll accept an unofficial buyout deal.

Why isn't he putting the money he earns from selling services/goods to the campaign BACK into the campaign?

It's his campaign!

He wants to be President!!!

Why is he so cheap?????



And if he wants to self-fund his campaign, why isn't he matching EVERY dollar that gets donated to his campaign?
Why only within 48 hours and only up to 2 million?

And if he wants to self-fund his FUCKING OWN CAMPAIGN, why is he just giving out loans?
That's not how "paying for your own stuff" works.
