Any way you slice it, this level of self-dealing looks bad. It looks like a candidate who is pocketing donors money.It doesnt look right, even if it is legal, said Paul S. Ryan from the Campaign Legal Center watchdog group. He called Trumps heavy spending on his own properties unprecedented and said the timing of the payments is curious.

Increased scrutiny of Trumps spending patterns could not come at a worse time for the developer-turned-reality-TV-star-turned-presidential nominee. Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has announced that she and her party raised $143 million in the month of August, a figure that could dwarf the amount pulled in by Trump and the RNC.
