FEC regulations are a poor fit for someone paying their own way.
That’s why Trump has to loan himself $$$ and even has to charge himself $$$ to ride on his own plane.
It’s silly but has to be done to play along with regs meant for those who need to fund-raise.
Here is the link to the year end summaries. Selling election “swag” requires that it run through your election committee, that is why you see the large hat expenditure.

Thanks for keeping us abreast of Trump’s lawful campaign funding. Now, would you also keep us abreast of Cruz’s shady shenanigans regarding campaign funding.
It ain’t boasting if you can do it.
OMG!!!! Trump is accepting bribes....and giving bribes to himself! ;-)
Go Trump!
I have no idea your point in posting this. I’m sure it’s not as a public service announcement on Trump’s legal funding activities. It says what we’ve all know. Trump is self funding and he’s taking small dollar donations from his website. I don’t understand your need to constantly try and “remind” everyone that you don’t like Trump, but this is a real nothing if you are trying to point out some nefarious activities on Trump’s part.
Where did that come from? Slight lead?
Microsoft Bing predictions just came out:
Iowa — Trump with 45% of the vote
New Hampshire — Trump with 51% of the vote
South Carolina — Trump with 50% of the vote
Nevada — Trump with 46% of the vote
Another non-story Trump story.
Story time never really ends for the anti-Trump posters it seems.
Go Trump!
I want to vote for Trump even more now. I won’t vote for Cruz if he wins because of you and your type.
Disgusting flooding the forum with your hate.
I want to publicly THANK YOU CIN for your non stop effort to enlighten this forum. The Truth of your post are deliberately being ignored by the hypnotized masses. The day may come when “the won” will say on the count of 3 you will awake, but then it is too late.
so, a trump entity lends the campaign entity $11 million
when the campaign doesn’t repay the note secured by good will, the lending entity writes it off as a bad debt business expense
corporations are handy things to have around
Trump’s been buying politicians all of his career. His accountants should be experts at tracking money given to political campaigns by now....
And deduction.
His campaign costs are totally tax free and tax subsidized.
