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

@WuWei

I am addressing you about your tribe. I don’t know or care if you carried on about that specific criticism or not. You are personally doing it now.

It’s petty.

Why hell would I want to defend something that I do not agree with because it is associated with what is perceived as “my tribe” what ever the hell that means?

That is the true pettiness here.

I can only argue my own positions and not some fictional person, say made out of straw, to help out with that gotcha dopamine hit.

@Ben_Natuf

if she used it… no problem. please cite one single politician who has not paid someone closely related to them for some service in a campaign. there is nothing new or alarming about it. campaigns are free to spend money how they see fit with whom they choose to do business.

I will remember that you have no problem with it.

[Ben_Natuf]

no, they most certainly are not. i don’t give 2 ■■■■■ about what they meant in some foreign language centuries ago, what they mean in the english language today is not the same.

[Ben_Natuf]

hint: never have. its their money.

Y’all, not you. You are a member in good standing of that tribe. Just like you say about Trump supporters.

I try to take care to say something like " The supporters don’t care" without making it a personal thing.

Remember when attributing an argument that someone did not make with the use of a personal pronoun used to be a bad thing around here?

Y’all ain’t personal. If you want to cut yourself out of the herd, go ahead.

You’ll wander back in afore long.

@Borgia_dude

I predict the Trump supporters will not care and display such lack of concern via glib one line responses.

Fake news!

[Peterbuilt]

He should have just kept his TV show. That was making him honest good money. But it couldn’t satiate him. Now he is a pariah.

[Camp]

Close. Not quite interchangable.

The same

No he isn’t.

Trump has weathered the worse the deep state could offer.

No way social media survives purging him unscathed.

@Scratch

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

Doesn’t really matter that it’s a Trump Property. If he is renting space, getting food (catering what not) flying on a plane (even though they can’t directly link that company to Trump), the corporations (business) MUST under federal law charge market rate for the services.

[Snow96]

@Munimula1

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

He is NOT paying himself. Unless you have proof the check was made do DJT instead of the company running whatever. Then on the other hand you would have to show that he increased his take of profit from said company by the same amount.

Good luck with that.

@TommyLucchese

Pretty sure this is in fact technically illegal.

The campaign paying a corporation market value for service? That is actually what the law calls for. He own’s the property, but the corporation (by law) can not donate rent or other services.

[WuWei]

Did y’all ever decide if what he did is illegal?
