Of course you are aware that should he win the nomination Trump has also stated he will then voluntarily become deeply dependent on donor puppeteers. Moreover, surely you’re aware that Trump pays himself a sizeable salary for campaigning, which I assume is a tax write-off funding by the American taxpayer.
Surely you know this.
Absolutely do not know that at all. Trump will receive only PARTY donations. He will not take money from the puppeteers .
Secondly, I absolutely dispute the “salary” conjecture you make up. Where did you find that in writing? With stuff like that ,you must work for the Cruz campaign.
He will also fund raise to recoup the losses he has during his primary run, eventually.
Some of the money he collects in the General (if he gets that far) will go the reimburse his primary campaign.
Count on it.
The key is to watch where that money comes from down the road, and it will come.
Who will attend those $10,000-a-plate-private-rubber-chicken-circuit fundraisers?
Where will the high dollar speaking engagements be, and in front of what crowd?
Nothing wrong with it, it is done everyday.
To say this is all “self-funding is naïve. It is a “loan” to the “Trump for President” campaign, for now.
