Is Donald Trump charging the taxpayers or his campaign for these campaign trips?

So long as he thinks he can get away with it, I'm sure he is asking someone else to pay for all these trips he has been taking lately?

How could one find out?

I'm sure they have figured out loopholes, one thing for damned sure, it isn't coming out of his pocket.

A while back there was a news story that Mulvaney was asking Dems not to release the cost of DT's golf trips before the election but I have not seen anything else reported on that. I have read that since taking office the cost is well north of $100 million and that is just golfing as for the campaign trips who knows.

There is a good podcast called "Trump Inc" from WNYC Studios that discusses the cost of DT's presidency. I recommend it.
