“Before everyone goes off the rails on who’s buying who, a little food for thought....

Trump is spending his own money on his campaign, but is he really?

He is “loaning” money to his campaign, and he expects to be paid back in full.”

I would like to see some links, or otherwise some substantive proof of this.

Please ping, if you do receive these links. I’ve not been able to find where Trump has said ‘he expects to be paid back in full’. Thanks.

;-)

From July:

Donald Trump Loaned His Campaign $1.8 million, Has Spent Most of His Fundraising Haul

From October:

Trump not exactly self-funding his campaign

From February:

Donald Trump loaned his campaign $10.8 million at end of year (because he can)

Do you really think he will not recoup expenses?

Every president has done so.

Every one, unless, on a rare occasion, they had no expenses at all.

The Clinton’s even made it some Bizarre Art form, which was way over the top.

Don’t buy all the Rhetoric.

Donald Trump will have fundraisers and events to recoup his campaign expenses.

It is perfectly legal to do so.

Just watch who donates, folks, that’s all I am saying.

They assume Trump will get paid back from his campaign because THAT is what Cruz does. His campaign bought his books and they sell them to donors for $85 a piece and he claims the $$ as royalties and income.

I wouldn’t care if Trump did pay himself back from the campaign, he’s spent a fraction of what the rest have and MOST candidates get their loans paid back.
