Trump Shifted Campaign-Donor Money Into His Private Business After Losing The Election

Munimula1 · 2021-02-06T03:10:03.718Z

I don’t even think it’s against the law (but it should be). I just think it’s shady, and I think it’s why Trump is toying with a 2024 run. Think of the bucks.

Trump’s middle name is Grift. All he has ever cared about is how much money he can con Trumplicans out of.

I agree, I don’t think it’s illegal, I think if you pay all your campaign debt what’s left is yours to do what you want.

My dad was a small town politician. He gave his left over to charity. But I don’t think there is anything that says you can’t keep it.

IDK- does this seem kosher to you?

There are laws that apply here, not your opinion of “kosher”. If he’s broken laws, prosecute him by them.

How is it though that you now have a level of kosher, that’s been absolutely dormant regarding Biden’s corruption amongst his family in dealings overseas?

This two-tier system of justice being applied in our government is the biggest crime of it all.

Did you read the article?

“The money covered the cost of rent, airfare, lodging and other expenses. All the payments are laid out in filings the campaign submitted to the Federal Election Commission.”

Corporataions can’t give “free stuff” to campaign’s. They have to be paid fair market value for their services.

This headline makes it sound like Turmp just wrote a check for what remained in the campaign account to his business. That’s not the case.

I find it remarkable that the amount giving the Trumpophobes vapors is almost exactly the same amount Trump donated in salary during his term.

Trump will do very well financially as ex President with some of the most valuable property in the world.

Obama started from ground zero and has monetized well.

I wonder who he is paying for rent, lodging and other expenses. I’d wager its going Trump properties.

For sure- the headline says ‘into his private business.’

I sure did. That’s the point of the OP. He is enriching himself with campaign donations.

Ah… the “not technically illegal” argument.

Cool.

Trump’s middle name is Grift. All he has ever cared about is how much money he can con Trumplicans out of.

I hate that grifter is even applied to these guys. The real pro con artists were masters of human psychology who convinced guys like Trump to hand over their money happily.

Pretty sure this is in fact technically illegal.

Illegality is required for prosecution.

Then charge him, try him and lock him up.

What’s the problem?

I think campaigning is a great gig if you can get it.

LOL, why do you think he’s broke?

From the same article in the OP…

"In addition, one of the campaign’s joint-fundraising committees, which collects money in partnership with the Republican Party, shifted about $4.3 million of donor money into Trump’s business from January 20, 2017, to December 31, 2020—at least $331,000 of which came after the election. "

Grifters are going to grift…To quote Gordon Gecko…“A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place”

He’s in the hole for a billion

Forbes

Donald Trump Has At Least $1 Billion In Debt, More Than Twice The Amount He...

The president’s liabilities are spelled out in dozens of documents, published here.

I was mostly making a joke really , alluding to the possibility that he’s actually broke because he was continually taken in by real con men that he couldn’t dream of aspiring to. I failed however if it requires explanation.
