Donald Trump’s main 2024 White House campaign fundraising operation sharply increased spending at the former president’s properties in recent months, funneling money into his businesses at a time when he is facing serious legal jeopardy and desperately needs cash.
Trump’s joint fundraising committee wrote three checks in February and one in March to his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, totaling $411,287 and another in March to Trump National Doral Miami for $62,337, according to a report filed to the Federal Election Commission this week.
Federal law and FEC regulations allow donor funds to be spent at a candidate’s business so long as the campaign pays fair market value, experts say. Trump has been doing it for years, shifting millions in campaign cash into his sprawling business empire to pay for expenses such as using his personal aircraft for political events, rent at Trump Tower and events at his properties, which has included hotels and private clubs.
Didn’t he overcharge the secret service at his resorts too?
Fucking scumbag. I can’t wait until he finally dies…
The same guy who played golf for more than 300 days while on “duty” as POTUS? Yeah, it’ll be a good day
I’d rather he get locked in syndrome for a few years. That would be the worst hell imaginable for him.
Sure, he got away with it the first time. Why not do it again.
Looks like he sure learned his lesson, eh Susan Collins?
He did it with government money when he was President:

I don’t get why cheating the tax code is so glorified. “OMG this dude circumvents rules we made so that money works fairly. He’s awesome” how do you even get there?
“Orange man with small hands does another illegal thing, this might be the end”
It never is. Fuck you to every sensationalistic “news” outlet that continues to post the same artcle with differnt herbs and spices for the 10,000th time.
He’s a douchebag. We all know already. Shut the fuck up about it unless he’s in jail or dies. Then shut the fuck up about his dumbass kids. I don’t want to start hearing about them for the next 40 years after I’m finally rid of their asshole father.
