Is Trump using his 2020 Re-election Committee to launder money?

It would be the perfect conduit. The money is not traced and it is unaccounted for. It is easy to write a check to cover Don Jr's legal bill out of campaign finances.

They simply cannot be trusted.

(By the way, he opened up his Re-election Committee on the day he was inaugurated!)

He is taking money from Eric's foundation for sick children for his clubs

He uses his foundation (other peoples money) to buy portraits of himself

Any $ within reach he believes is his.

And he owes millions to contractors for trump DC

He obviously doesn't like BEING president. What will he do with all that money if he doesn't run again? What CAN he do with it, legally?

He is used to bullying his way through this irritating regulations, and ignoring them. And if he doesn't like what somebody is doing, he just fires them.

He's only in this to pay off his debts, he never had any intention of carrying out his duties! Not like any of us should be surprised. Still, I am surprised that he can get away with this shit.
