Maybe Trump plans to keep the campaign money and ditch the GOP

[0nirevets]

Trump is focusing on everything and everyone other than his opponent. He raised all of that money in June, July, but what's he doing with it? I'm not seeing any Trump ads at all, although HRC is putting them out. It seems like Trump may be stiffing the GOP. Just a thought, but as we hear from former clients, Trump U students, and past contractors, he's famous for taking the money and skipping town. Maybe his inner dialogue goes something like, "Hey, if the GOP is going to keep ditching me, at the convention, at rallies, and they aren't going to endorse me, why should I spend all of this money on advertising?"

1. one would have to believe that his campaign has actually raised all that money, first. but, yes,

I am sure he will take the money and run when he loses.

2. What's the likelihood of it paying off the "loans" made to the campaign?

Donnie gets back his investment and gets paid for the use of his facilities at an inflated rate. Don't forget all those events at his FL resort/home.

3. Highly illegal.

Jesse Jackson Jr. did time for stealing campaign funds.

6. Not if its in the form of paying back "loans" he made to himself with his own money

8. He converted all of his primary loans to a donation.

So he would have to make new loans for the GE.

Regardless, no profit in it.

9. Trump said he did but reporting has said the real paperwork to the FEC to do so has not been filed.

The profit is getting that money back while he has been paying all his companies fees the whole time for room rentals and services, consulting like how he's paying his kid's company
He has paid his own companies millions of campaign cash, that has been detailed in FEC reports.
There's the profit in hard dollars

10. It was in his last FEC filing.

12. now he'll have to charge the GOP double for nothing to make it back. but

he'd write it off to advertising if he was any company to get the 2-3 billion in press they say he's received this campaign.
And he is a company.

4. Trumps Campaign looks like a

personal money maker. Does he not run every thing through one of his shell companies? And in that way,he will BK then in November and keep the cash.

5. He already is siphoning it off.

I wonder what kind of wonderful deal he made on some empty office space in trump towers. Probably paying twice the normal going rate. He has charged off some for his place in florida also. I haven't seen if he ever did actually forgive the loan he made to his election. He will probably wait till the last minute then get the money back if he hasn't burnt up all the money. Cheaper he makes the election run for him the more money he can get. I wouldn't doubt if he would even charge consulting fees for his part in the campaign.

7. He can't "keep" the money...

...all he can do is keep it in a Federal account to use for other political campaigns.

[TeamPooka]

11. He can spend it on "services" from his many companies as he has already according to FEC reports

of his campaign spending.
Millions to his and his kid's companies.
