Is Trump so broke that he can't pay salaries of his team?

[packman]

President-elect Donald Trump’s Campaign Manager-turned-Communications Counselor Kellyanne Conway will visit Buffalo this week for an exclusive fundraiser.

Kellyanne Conway will speak at a Thursday afternoon luncheon at the Westin Buffalo hotel. The $5000 per person event is intended to raise funds to cover the costs of Trump’s transition team, including their salaries


The ferret-wearer’s options are limited:

- no U.S. bank will touch Donald J. Trump ever again

- Deutsche Bank is teetering as it is

- he already owes the Chinese several hundred million last I saw

- Putin doesn’t dare front him the sum, through Alfa Bank or any other entity

So Kellyanne’s doing a fundraiser

1. Shocked the team isn't paying salary through Junior's charity.

7. Probably the real reason he tried to shut it down

before NY state told him that he couldn't do that while there was an active investigation.

Either way, he's stuck trying to juggle finances and doing fundraisers to keep up the appearance of being solvent.

2. Some crony will give him the money to curry favor.

And then when he's president he'll probably reward them with govt contracts.

3. There are some very interesting rules about campaign finance

He contributed $66M of his own money to his campaign, of which at least $10M went to him to pay for things used for him. His campaign probably has $60M left, just sitting there. All kosher. None of that can be used to pay for the transition.

4. Putin says: " checks are in the mail Donny"

[Generic Brad]

5. Can't or won't?

He does have a history of stiffing people.

6. Follow the money

I beleive that the money trail is the best chance to rid ourselves of this trump menace.
Trumps fiscal entanglements with China and Russia will ultimately be his undoing.
I would think that a few intrepid investigative reporters are probably working this angle as we speak. Clearly, he's hiding something.

8. The federal government will provide $7 million to Trump's team

he can privately raise additional funds if he wants. He cannot use campaign money.
