Using donated funds to pay yourself for campaign services? Not exactly a man looking out for the little guy.

Same pants, different pockets. Trump is mostly self-funding. Anyone who donates to his campaign doesn't really care which pocket the money goes into, they just want a stake in a campaign that they admire.

I don't think people who support Trump do so because he is the second coming of St. Francis of Asissi. They want to disrupt an abusive power structure, and they see Trump as detached enough from the other side of the political process to make it happen.

you are missing the main point, He is spending money that will be repaid to him. That is not self funding. It points to the misleading narrative that he is so independent of donor money. He can even make a profit when the campaign pays back the loan with interest. It’s all perfectly legal, and others have and will do it, so that is not the issue. It just shows this “self funded” campaign for what it really is, a scam.
