Campaign donations are going towards Trump's personal expenses. Trump’s Donors Paid For His Jetliner, His Hotels And Now, His Books Nearly $300,000 of small donations went to “Art of the Deal” publisher. WASHINGTON ― Donald Trump used small donors’ money to buy nearly $300,000 worth of books from the publisher of his Art of the Deal last month, continuing a pattern of plowing campaign money back into his own businesses. The Oct. 15 Federal Election Commission filing for Trump Make America Great Again Committee does not specify which books in particular were purchased, but the committee’s own website suggests it was Trump’s 1987 business bestseller. “I’ve signed an out-of-print, hardcover copy of ‘The Art of the Deal’ just for you, because I want you on board with Team Trump!” Trump wrote in an Aug. 2 fundraising email, which went on to offer the book for a minimum donation of $184. Trump’s statement calling the book “out-of-print,” repeated on the committee’s website, however, is false. The Art of the Deal had a new paperback edition printed last October, and the hardcover is currently in print and available from Random House and retail booksellers. Barnes and Noble, for example, sells it for $22.35. donaldjtrumpcom GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump claims on his web site that his book, The Art of the Deal, is out of print. It is not, and is available both from his publisher and booksellers. Federal Election Commission Records show that his fundraising committee purchased $300,000 worth of books in August and September.
Seriously, Trump claimed he was a deca-billionnaire : how on earth a DECA-billionnaire can not evn take 2 or 3 of his own billions to fully fund his own election campain for the most powerfu political job in the whole world? I am now starting to wonder if the billionnaires who questionned his wealth, or even those who wondered if Trump was not actually broke, have may be some clues.
I have a friend who's a trump supporter and he said he has been bombarded with emails begging for money from Trump and his 2 sons.
That your friend supports Trump is something understandable , as this is election campaigning. But that he does not see anything wrong with donating to a DECA-billionnaire !!!! Does your friend realises what a DECA-billionnaire is? Does your friend realises that means that Trump could dig at least 300 000 $ every day for the next 100 years and he would not be broke. He could waste 10million $ / month , for the next 100 years and he would not be broke. Even if Trump took out 2 billion $ from his DECA-billionnaire, he could still be wasting 6million$/month for the next 100 years and he would not be broke. Is your friend really understanding what DECA-billionnaire is??????
This has nothing to do with the issues at hand. We need lower tax rates, less spending and a stronger military.
I dare to disagree. What would you say of a trader/investor who claim to have made at least 10 billion $ of net assets ( Buffet, Soros, Mellon, ..), and then these traders offering trading courses at 100-200$ per person? Would you not ask questions. being a DECA-billionnaire has meaning.
