His website accepts donations, he loans his campaign money. One doesn’t loan money unless one expects the loan to be repaid.

You are being suckered by a salesman.

Not entirely.

He is accepting campaign donations, and is loaning the campaign money. The donations he receives can be used to repay loans to the campaign, including loans made by Trump himself.

He isn’t totally self-funded.

“At the start of his campaign, he loaned his political operation $1.8 million. As of Oct. 1, he had given his campaign an additional $104,829.27 - but he had also received $3.9 million from donors, which accounted for the vast majority of the $5.8 million his campaign had taken in by then. His campaign website features a prominent “donate” button on its homepage. Trump has spent $5.4 million, and interestingly, about one-quarter of his spending has gone to Trump-owned entities (mainly his private jet company).

In January, Trump launched an ad campaign in Iowa and New Hampshire, saying he planned to spend $2 million. He also claimed that his campaign was $35 million to $40 million below budget. Ultimately, all of his spending - and where the money came from - will have to be disclosed in campaign finance reports. The odds are his personal share of the spending will be less than 50 percent.”
