Is Donald Trump self-funding his campaign? Sort of

By Lauren Carroll on Wednesday, February 10th, 2016 at 4:00 p.m.

...”Trump’s campaign brought in about $19.4 million by the end of 2015. Trump contributed nearly $13 million of that himself. Most of the remainder comes from individual contributions, which federal law caps at $2,700 per candidate per election.”...

“There is, though, a ‘donate’ button on Trump’s website.”

and

...”But in the last quarter, Trump gave his campaign a $10.8 million loan, turning that balance around.”

“That brings us to the second caveat: The vast majority of Trump’s contributions to his own campaign — about $12.6 million — are loans rather than donations. This means he could expect to eventually recoup these funds.”

“Further, of the approximately $12 million Trump’s campaign spent in 2015, about $2.7 million went toward reimbursing Trump-affiliated companies for services provided to the campaign, such as traveling in his own plane and helicopter, according to a New York Times analysis.”
