Trump paid $12.5 million to his own businesses during race - Dec. 16, 2016
Not only that--he will not pay taxes on the income.

But it's rather futile to think it matters to the Cult. They won't care (unless, of course Obama had done it). They think it is being 'smart' to rip off the country or to get out of paying one's fair share.

We should all stop paying taxes and watch the states that are overly dependent on federal money sink.

Why cant Trump donate 100 million to his campaign and then use a small amount of his own money to pay for services he used from his businesses?

A lot of large corporations use loopholes to pay no tax. Trump wants to close the loopholes and lower the corporate tax rate so people like him who own large corporations will have to pay more taxes.

No doubt, why on earth would you hire a different company for your personal campaign when your own can handle it?

The Alt-Left lack common sense.

If Trump had used another company there would be some sheep posting a CNN link about how his company can't meet simple demands and it was a waste of his resources and cost him more than the 100 million he put into it.

The lack of knowledge about campaign finance laws, not to mention how corporate taxes work, is astounding.

We are talking about those who make excuse for the criminal Hillary Clinton.

IOW, he ripped himself off! About time he's had the same pleasure so many others have.
For him, that's like an hour of work.

This is just bait for the progressives to foam over.

Clever financial move. He puts money into a campaign, chose a vendor(s) he knew he could rely on. Get's some of his own money back. Maximizes his investment.

You think maybe he was paying back a donor, like in the case of Solyndra or Fiskar?
