The Art of Self-Dealing: Trump is Profiting Off His Donors. Again.
Not a surprise, but Forbes reports that Trump has contributed $0 to his campaign while sending $5 Million in campaign funds to his businesses.
Despite being worth an estimated $6.4 billion, Trump has not contributed any personal funds towards his 2024 presidential campaign. Instead, he has been raising money from supporters across the country.
Meanwhile, Trump's businesses have continued to charge his political operation for various expenses such as food, transportation, and facilities. As a result of this arrangement, Trump has effectively moved $4.6 million of campaign money into his private business empire, according to Federal Election Commission records and as reported by Forbes here.
Though Trump’s greed and profiteering is baked into the cake at this point, it’s worth reminding folks why he’s in this thing:
