Hurricane Isaias Keeps Trump From Pocketing More Campaign Money - For Now

A hyperactive hurricane season has finally done what the Republican Party has been unwilling to do: blocked President Donald Trump, at least temporarily, from funneling many tens of thousands of donor dollars into his own cash registers.

Since becoming president, Trump has directed $6.9 million in campaign money to himself, according to a HuffPost analysis. But he will miss out on rental and catering fees after a strengthening Hurricane Isaias forced GOP officials to cancel Saturday’s fundraiser at his golf resort next to Miami International Airport.

The event was expected to bring in $5 million, with, if past events are indicative, close to $100,000 of that going to Trump National Doral.
