Republican-affiliated campaigns, committees and outside groups have spent more than $3 million at various Trump properties since just after the 2016 election through last month, with roughly $924,000 coming from the Republican National Committee, according to an ABC News analysis of Federal Election Commission reports.

The Trump campaign accounts for about $1.46 million of the money paid to Trump properties.

Just last month alone, the Republican National Committee spent more than $271,000 at several properties and venues owned by President Trump, according to latest documents filed with the FEC.

The RNC did not respond to request for comment.

1. Bet they're being massively overcharged for everything, too.

Oh well.

2. It goes deeper than this. Every time he goes to Mar-A-Lago or one of his properties....

....the taxpayers are paying for all the meals, lodging, drinks for the entire entourage, secret service, etc....but the profits remain with Trump properties, unlike, say, Camp David.

3. all wasted money, wasted...

good...tRUMP won't put the money earned into doing something good for the repugs...instead, he'll gobble the profits down w/ a tRUMP steak. Wasting money while democrats and the like are winning and pulling together a legislative victory in 2018 and on. Let them waste their limited money, for the money will dry up, when gop contributors see how wasteful the gop is being w/ their donated funds. Just a matter of time...

4. There's no end to their funding

... the Mercers, the Koches, the DeVoses, and Putin have very deep pockets. You could say "bottomless pockets."
