Donald Trump may be out of office, but political donor money continues to pour into his properties across the country.
In just the first six months of this year, dozens of Republican campaigns and political groups have together spent at least $750,000 at Trump properties, with nearly half of that coming from fundraising committees directly affiliated with or linked to Trump himself, according to federal and state campaign disclosure reports.
Of that $750,000, the largest chunk was spent by the Make America Great Again PAC, Trump's presidential campaign committee-turned political action committee, which paid the former president's businesses more than $210,000 from January through June.
Much of that came from five monthly rent payments of $40,000 each for office space at Trump Tower in New York City, while the rest came from nearly $8,000 in lodging expenses at Trump hotels.
Trump's new PAC, Save America, also reported paying nearly $80,000 to the "Trump Hotel Collection" for lodging and meals over the six months since Trump left the White House.
Trump properties have also continued to serve as a favorite venue for high-dollar fundraisers for his political committees.
His joint fundraising committee with South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham spent more than $22,000 for a golf tournament hosted at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, in May, which reportedly cost participants $25,000 each. Make America Great Again Action, a new pro-Trump super PAC led by former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, spent about the same amount at a fundraiser at Trump's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. The committee's disclosure filing doesn't show how much it raised from the fundraiser, but overall it reported raising roughly $705,000 in April and May.

So?
And?
How is this any different from Billy Jeff Clinton getting a $500k speaking engagement? Hillary’s published work of fiction? 0bama’s endless tripe?

Where do I send a check?
No, pour = billions into Biden's pockets.

Now if only ABC could do such an in depth story about Hunter Biden’s finances and his 500 thousand per painting from anonymous people.
Oh no, they can’t do that.....their job is to protect this corrupt gooberment and it’s comrades on the left including this fraudulent first family!!!!
OMG!! $750K to host events....at Trump properties???
Why this has to more than TRIPLE the MILLIONS he lost during Presidency and the idiotic shut downs.
/s
How much have Dems/libs made off of their investment properties, books, etc?
Oh, that’s right....lying media doesn’t report on that.
The exact same thing I was going to say.
Wow, a whole $750,000?!?
They have tried soo many ways to separate Trump from his supporters. Seeing Trump’s level of support remain as strong as ever and supporters attending his rallies at pre election numbers..must really burn them up. That’s why they are back to these stories.
I stayed at the Las Vegas Trump once back in 2011, long before he became president. If I visit Vegas again in the near future I will ONLY stay at the Trump because I WANT my money going to Trump. How’s that, Fake Newsers ?
Considering it’s going to take money to buy a lot of rope to hang all those coup plotters at CNN and MSNBC, it is money well spent. Best investment ever.
Hand them all. Hang them high!
ABC news is another left wing biased left wing hack media organization.
Don’t believe anything you read in the democrat media.
ANYTHING !!!
Won’t happen. They love junkies and alkies
So, who believes ABC anyway? Peter Jennings was borderline believable, since then it has been downhill. Just a group of overpaid people who never REPORT the news, just spin the official narrative of the highest bidder.
Americans donating to trump businesses? this is a problem why?
At least it’s Americans donating not Saudi’s with Carter/ obama.
Can we talk about the chinese donating to Billy clinton now?
Not only that but for access to his high class properties doing any number of events it looks pretty reasonable to me. Doing events and staying at his fancy hotels and resorts would cost “a lot of big bucks” and 750,000 is chunk change considering. And of his donors and fans who won’t want to be at one of his properties!
Yeah, ABC was all over the hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes to The Beast when she was SecState. /s
