President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign has poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into various Trump-owned properties since the beginning of 2017, according to the organization’s latest filings with the Federal Election Commission.
The filings show the organization, Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., has spent over $100,000 on various products and services in Trump family properties in Washington, D.C., New York, and Las Vegas.
The largest expenditures are for commercial space in Trump Tower on Fifth Ave. in Manhattan, the flagship of the Trump family’s sprawling business empire. The campaign leases offices for approximately $40,000 per month, totaling just over $120,000 during this reporting period. It also paid $2,000 to Trump-owned restaurants inside the building.
The Secret Service and the Department of Defense also rent space at Trump Tower.

As someone who has given two or three times to donaldjtrump.com since his inaugural, I say: I DON’T CARE. HE IS MAGA!
Did Biden routinely rent the guest house? In that case, I'd not object to charging the Secret Service what he normally would have earned, provided that the amount is roughly in line with what the SS would pay for alternative arrangements. It would be a different story if the guest house was not typically rented.
I was pointing out the hypocrisy of the left, if Trump is earning an income by renting space to his campaign, Biden is earning an income by renting his guest house to the SS...
To the left it’s grossly unethical for Trump to do so, but not a beep anout Biden...
I’m curious about how much the Clinton Foundation spent on the Clinton family for things like food, housing, clothing, travel, salaries, etc, and on Hellary’s campaign. Those little bottles of champagne on those private jets can’t be cheap.
Oh dear, so he wants to operate in locations he trusts (maybe even they’re SECURE) and knows will do a good job? A definite new scandal for a new week!

Almost all money spent by the Clinton Foundation flowed in Clinton Connected companies. The media of course never connects the dots.
Excuse me, but $100,000 is hardly “pouring money.” Rather, sounds like they’re getting a discount.
Which we’ll hear about next.
This a scandal?? Stupid.

2) If the campaign is paying above the going market rent for space in one of Trump’s buildings, then I could see a problem. But, again, HOW stupid would he have to be to do this? If the market rate was $20,000/month, then he’d be risking not just his 2020 race, but also criminal charges and possible impeachment...for a miserable $20K/month. This kind of stupidity from a guy who turned a $1 million/loan into a multi-billion dollar fortune in less than 30 years...
...yeah, I’m NOT buying it. What I DO buy is the complete desperation of those breathlessly reporting this, and their utter contempt of the average American for (in their own small minds) being so stupid as to buy this steaming pile of dog crap.
not at all...the President is exempt from laws prohibiting him from running his business, for the simple fact he doesnt write the laws. Congress is exempt cuz they write the laws...same thing applies to his tax reurns...

We continued our pre election monthly donation and throw in a little extra when we can.
The Daily Caller must think $100,000 is big money in the business world bet Trump has that mush in his desk.
He probably allows big discounts, too, saving his campaign money.
