Dan Alexander Forbes Staff Billionaires Senior editor at Forbes, covering Donald Trump's business.
Donald Trump continued to shift money from his donors to his business last month, as his reelection campaign paid his private companies for rent, food, lodging and other expenses, according to a review of the latest Federal Election Commission filings. The richest president in American history, who has yet to donate to his 2020 campaign, has now moved $2.3 million of contributions from other people into his private companies.
The most recent expenses look familiar. The president accepted $38,000 in rent last month through Trump Tower Commercial LLC, the entity that owns his Fifth Avenue skyscraper. Since Trump took office, his campaign has paid that company $1.5 million, more than any other property in the Trump empire, according to an analysis of federal filings. The Republican National Committee also coordinated with the campaign to pay Trump Tower Commercial LLC an additional $225,000.

Wall Street hates Donald Trump. They favor the Democrats. Their editor is a Liberal -. Dan Alexander is a senior editor at Forbes, where he leads the magazine's coverage of Donald Trump.
Previously filed in the deep state file.
Is Donald paying market rates or lower? If so, what is wrong about using family properties or services for campaign purposes?
I wouldn’t expect Republicans had to rent or use services of Democrats, if they didn’t want to do so.
I would use services and properties of people I would trust.
Wall Street was Never Trump from the beginning of his campaign.

Planting seeds to attack Trump after he leaves office so he can’t run again.
Sounds normal and above board to me.
Did Donald play fair in the neighborhood sandbox when he was five years old?
-—— and you posted this rot from the social media garbage dump,why?
Forbes was bought by a group of foreign investors that are very China friendly.
WHAT? I heard he’s been prowling around Ft Knox recently too.
Trump owns properties, what’s he supposed to use Holiday Inn instead of his own very nice properties that usually are where he needs to be anyhow? No other grafter presidents were privately successful so they have nothing to use. Lack of common sense from a writer not associated with the real world. Trump supporters are real working people and understand this.
Probably by far the best place for Trump to assure security—and of course that rent payment would be going somewhere.
Sure, in the best of all worlds even the appearance of impropriety...
Unlike the previous “regimes”, PDJT will NOT be left unscathed when he leaves office in 2025.
Well when he ran, did he not loan his campaign money from his personal account? If so, then he is repaying the loan(s), and there is nothing wrong with that, to my understanding.
If these entities didn’t collect rent and cover other expenses the way they did, they’d almost certainly be considered in-kind campaign contributions.
Trump lost a fortune being President. The idea that he’s trying to skim 2.3m is stupid. Trump happens to be the only one in Washington who isn’t in it for the money.
Are these payments for services rendered? If so, say so!!!
