Records reveal the staggering amount of money Trump-owned businesses have raked in by doing business

[Soph0571]

...with Trump’s campaign and Republicans

Trump’s political campaigns and associated committees have spent roughly $16.8 million at his businesses since he launched his 2016 presidential campaign. The analysis was based on spending reports to the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

In the 2020 election cycle alone, the Center for Responsive Politics notes, Republican campaigns and political action committees have spent $1.8 million at Trump properties. That $1.8 million, includes — among other things — $1.3 million spent by Trump’s campaign, $123,000 spent by the Republican National Committee (RNC) and $104,000 spent by the political action committee (PAC) Great America.

The Center for Responsive Politics also points out that 48 Republicans in Congress have spent money at Trump businesses through their campaigns and associated committees. That includes $12,000 spent by Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, $8000 spent by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and $14,000 spent by Indiana Rep. Greg Pence — who is the brother of Vice President Mike Pence.

1. That's probably just scratching the surface nt

[pandr32]

2. Add to that foreign influence and our tax dollars

I bet the final tally would be staggering.

3. I bet the cheap asswipe also is keeping his salary.

He is too greedy to give up a single cent. The gop are more cowardly than the cowardly lion.

4. That's just domestic emoluments

I wonder how much foreign leaders and representatives have spent at Trump properties worldwide.

and, does the military going out of their way to use Trump Turnberry or whatever it was in Scotland count as domestic or foreign, since it's a Trump property used by a domestic organization, but on foreign soil?

5. There needs to be a tally of it ALL!

Americans understand $$$ signs.

Especially if, and it needs to be repeatedly pointed out that per the U.S. constitution, a president is NOT TO PROFIT by holding the office of president of the United States.

Yet the turd has done NOTHING BUT!

Americans may be clueless, but we are NOT dummies. (I know it may be arguable as to which is worse...)

6. He jacked up the rates on his properties

as well, if I recall.
