$30K/month?

WTH!

Aren’t college students supposed to be paid minimum wage since they are not skilled labor quite yet?

What are you talking about? Haven't you been following the push to pay burger flippers(a job i was doing at 14)a living wage. Doesn't that make burger flipping a skilled job.

There is no shame in doing any job. Every job needs to be done for society to function.

Where you were mislead was by the implication of illegality where it appears it was legal (if still shady). While we may not like team Trump, it's not grift if it's legal.

I try to look on the bright side as I'd rather have the Trump family pocket the money than have it donated to actually promote some far right winger in an election.

The redhats lost their cash, the RNC isn't seeing a dime of it and the Trumps are putting at least some of it back in circulation? It's not exactly pretty, but not the worst outcome either.

Sitting with Van Jones, Kushner agreed to make one more run at the Senate majority leader. “There was a look in Jared’s eye,” Jones recalls. And so, the President’s son-in-law and White House aides again appealed to McConnell, arguing that the time had come for a vote and it was his role to show that vocal critics of the effort, like Arkansas Republican Tom Cotton, don’t run the Senate GOP conference. The effort appeared to work. The next day, McConnell announced he was scheduling a vote on the bill.

There indeed has been a push to pay people a living wage.

There has also been a push back from those who consistently claim that college students and retirees and other such folk don't deserve a living wage.

And here a college student is making $30K/month.

Shameful.

Are shell companies used funnel campaign money to relatives legal?

He treated campaign donations like he did donations to his charity -- as his personal slush fund.
