Trump Spent $1.1 Million In Campaign Money On Lawyers And #MAGA Hats In 3 Months

Last week, we decried the fact that Donald Trump is nickel-and-diming working class Americans by convincing them to donate small sums of money to joint committees and ultimately, to the RNC. The national party, for instance, gets 25% of donations received by the "Trump Make America Great Again Committee." The Washington Post spoke with some of the folks who have donated and the stories betray the extent to which Trump is quite literally selling dreams to people who can't afford to pay for them

One thought on “Trump Spent $1.1 Million In Campaign Money On Lawyers And #MAGA Hats In 3 Months”

H, on a similar path, you can come back with Chapter 2. That would be that he collected donations from people for his Trump Foundation, founded 1987. Later this foundation was ordered to stop fundraising by Attorney General NY. Details/articles at WaPo 2016 and Forbes 2/2017, and plenty of them!

At some point it was determined that donations to other charities from Donald J Trump (personally) were actually funds from the Trump Foundation that collected donations from other people … then used as a personal donation given by Trump to other charities. What a guy, huh? A saint. So generous. Gee, I wonder if he may have also taken an IRS deduction for his generosity?

For a big laugh, read this PolitiFact article, begin with this quote:
– Kellyanne Conway on Monday, September 12th, 2016 in an interview on CNN, Says the Donald J.Trump Foundation’s money “is his money.”
