A Look At The Sheer Financial Genius Of How Donald Trump Is Financing His Run For President

“It’s kind of a nice deal for Donald Trump,” another experienced campaign finance attorney said. “It’s very common for candidates to loan money to their campaign. It’s even not unusual for a candidate to have the campaign purchase goods or services, usually rent, from an entity that’s owned by the campaign. But the scale here is completely different.”

Donald Trump Is Paying Himself to Run for President – Genius!

EDITOR’S NOTE: This article was originally posted on the liberal news site thedailybeast.com, and written by people certainly not friendly to the Trump campaign. But even liberals are forced to give grudging admiration for the incredible, smart and unprecedented way that Donald Trump is self-funding his own campaign. He is not only funding it himself, he is also smart enough to make a profit while he does it! Can you imagine, just for a moment, if America were run by these same financial principles that Trump is running his campaign with? It’s time to be a creditor nation once again. 

“After all, the chief business of the American people is business. They are profoundly concerned with producing, buying, selling, investing and prospering in the world. I am strongly of the opinion that the great majority of people will always find these the moving impulses of our life.” Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States of America

To sift through the disbursements of presidential campaigns, disclosed to the Federal Election Commission, is to be inundated by pages upon pages of mundane revelations regarding the behavior of the semi-human.

Ted Cruz’s campaign spent $110 at 1-800 Flowers on March 19. John Kasich’s frequents an office cleaning service in Ohio. Hillary Clinton’s camp is a recurrent customer at Alley Cat Pizzeria in Manchester. Ben Carson’s staff eats at Wendy’s.

In some ways, Donald Trump’s campaign is just like any other. His staff racks up bills from Staples and Burger Heaven, McDonald’s, Famous Original Ray’s Pizza and Taco Bell. But the tinsel-haired reality TV star has an obvious advantage over his rivals: the name that seems to come up most often on the list of businesses the Trump campaign pays is…Trump.

Between June 16, when he announced his candidacy from the lobby of Trump Tower, through the end of 2015, the Trump campaign spent $2.2 million patronizing Trump businesses. The majority—$2 million—was spent on Tag Air, Inc., where Trump is CEO.

Trump owns a commercial-sized plane, a Boeing 757-200, which is equipped to safely transport 43 passengers in seat belts plated with 24-carat gold—although they might prefer to sit in the dining room, one of two bedrooms, or in the shower, (or they might prefer to travel in his smaller jet or one of his two helicopters).

His aircrafts ferry him around the country, from New York to Des Moines to Manchester to Biloxi, at a steep cost. The bill paid by the campaign on June 16 alone—the day of his formal announcement—was $506,846.

The Trump campaign also made 34 visits to Trump Cafe and Trump Grill, restaurants in Trump Tower where you can eat Ivanka’s Salad (diced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, mediterranean cured olives, feta cheese and romaine lettuce with greek dressing…$18) the Gold Label Burger (our premium blend of Angus short rib, sirloin and Kobe brisket…$19) and Mr Trump’s Mother’s Meatloaf (a family recipe, served with mushroom gravy…$13.50).

And paid $90,000 in in-kind rent to Donald J. Trump, Trump CPS LLC and Trump Plaza LLC.

Rent and utilities were also doled out—to the tune of nearly $74,000—to Trump Restaurants LLC and Trump Tower Commercial LLC.

Trump even has his own companies to manage payroll, Trump Payroll Corp. and Trump Tower Commercial LLC, where tens of thousands of dollars are regularly funneled before landing in the pockets of his well-compensated staff.

A look through the disbursements of the rest of the Republican field—Cruz, Marco Rubio, Kasich and Carson—shows that Trump is the only candidate who pays businesses with his name in the title.

And although Trump’s staffers do seem to fly commercial from time to time, he is also the only candidate who uses campaign funds to pay for his own fleet of private aircrafts, or in fact the only candidate with his own fleet of private aircrafts at all. Whether or not this is legal is a tricky question.

By law, candidates cannot profit from their own campaigns. If Carson’s campaign wants to buy 5,000 copies of his book, Gifted Hands, to give out at rallies, Carson cannot legally receive royalty payments from their sale. However, FEC experts I spoke with suggested that the case of Trump is an unprecedented one. Never before has a candidate funneled so much of his money into his own campaign and then relied on his own businesses to run that campaign.

Donald Trump MASSIVE Rally 30,000 + in Madison, AL (2-28-16)

According to The Sunlight Foundation, after the period ending February 20, Trump will have spent $17.5 million of his own funds on his campaign—68% of the total amount he’s raised since June. $7.7 million has come from donations to his website, which features a prominent “DONATE” button in its upper right-hand corner.

But to the FEC, campaign money is just campaign money. The FEC doesn’t differentiate between money put into a campaign by the public or by the candidate.

“This is sort of a strange gray area of the law that I don’t think the FEC has ever addressed,” Paul Ryan, of the Campaign Legal Center, told me.

Were Trump to profit from, say, the sale of 15 Ivanka’s Salads, Ryan said it would be a “technical violation” of FEC law, “but it doesn’t make sense for it to be a violation.”

Why should it matter, in other words, if it was his own money to begin with, if it is being recirculated back into his pocket throughout the course of the campaign?

The 2002 McCain-Feingold Act stipulates that, although candidates can spend as much money as they want on their campaigns, there’s a limited amount of time in the aftermath of a campaign during which the candidate can pay themselves back. It’s why Carly Fiorina emptied her account back into her own pocket the day before election day in 2010. But there’s no law that specifically addresses what to do if a candidate finds a way to make a profit, or at least neutralize their loss, during a campaign.

“It’s kind of a nice deal for Donald Trump,” another experienced campaign finance attorney said. “It’s very common for candidates to loan money to their campaign. It’s even not unusual for a candidate to have the campaign purchase goods or services, usually rent, from an entity that’s owned by the campaign. But the scale here is completely different.”

Millions of dollars are funneling into his campaign, both from himself and from his followers, “and a lot of it is going back into his pocket indirectly,” the attorney said.

“It’s basically recycling.” source

Trump Sweeps While Biden Sleeps As Super Tuesday Reveals The Coming Rematch That Nobody Wants In Upcoming Presidential Election Insanity

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Donald Trump has huge Super Tuesday wins this week as sleepy Joe Biden is giving the Democrats November nightmares, what will happen next?

Donald Trump easily won all contests on Super Tuesday except one, relegating Nikki Haley to footnote status as she prepares to drop out of a race she never had a shot of winning. Over on the American Samoa, Joe Biden lost to someone no one has ever heard of before, and will likely never hear from again. On paper, Donald Trump should easily defeat Joe Biden in November, too bad elections are not decided on paper like they used to be. Will we have Trump’s second term, Obama’s fourth term, or something no one expects to happen in 2025? That’s the question.

Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” Psalm 55:22 (KJB)

The Democrats eager to prevent another Donald Trump victory in November, conspired together to bring 91 federal counts against him in 4 states, and in doing so elevated him to martyr status almost immediately. Not very bright. If they really wanted to stop him, they all should have conspired to never mention him, thereby cutting off the flow of millions of dollars in free advertising by keeping him in the headlines. There’s only 8 months until the November election, and there are so many things that will be popping up between now and then. Not the least of which are the solar eclipse of April 8th, and the ‘Civil War’ movie on April 12th. Lastly, Donald Trump had another huge win when the Supreme Court voted 9-0 in favor of preventing states from kicking him off the ballot. If Democrats find they have no other option to ‘stop Trump’, will they implement the final solution? That’s the memo.

Democrats ready to hit panic button in Trump-Biden race

FROM THE HILL: Democrats are beginning to hit the panic button as an implosion in former President Trump’s campaign fails to materialize and a series of polls suggests President Biden is weaker than he was four years ago. Biden is trailing Trump in polls of several battleground states, underscoring concerns that his message isn’t gaining traction with swing voters.

Many Democrats thought Trump’s legal problems would submarine him, but the Supreme Court in a unanimous decision on Monday ruled in his favor on a 14th Amendment case. Other high-profile trials have been delayed, raising doubts about whether they will reach verdicts before Election Day. Steve Jarding, a Democratic strategist and former adviser to the Senate Democrats’ campaign arm, said Democratic lawmakers “should” be worried about the emerging political picture.

“If you’re Donald Trump and his team, you go, ‘Wow, I’ll take this any day of the week,’” he said, comparing Trump’s relatively strong political position with Biden’s faltering effort to get his message out to voters. A Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll published last week showed Biden trailing Trump in several critical states, including Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada and Wisconsin.

In those states, 48 percent of voters said they would back Trump, while 43 percent said they would back Biden.

Democrats heard another alarm bell over the weekend when a New York Times/Siena College poll showed Trump leading Biden 48 percent to 43 percent among registered voters nationwide. The survey showed a majority of voters think the economy is in poor shape, and 47 percent of voters strongly disapprove of Biden’s job performance, the highest such disapproval rating of any point in his presidency measured by Times/Siena polling.

Sen. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) said the latest poll numbers are concerning, and he decried a separate decision by the Supreme Court to postpone ruling on Trump’s legal immunity claims to the summer as “outrageous.”

“We’re concerned. This is going to be a tough race, but it hasn’t really begun yet, so a lot of the coverage is just about Biden’s age, not about his policies,” he said. “The president is going to get out on the stump and he’s going to have an opportunity to show he’s got the energy as well as the intellect and the acuity to do the job.”

Welch acknowledged that “in retrospect” it was a mistake for Biden to pass up doing an interview with CBS news ahead of the Super Bowl, which would have allowed him to reach a huge national audience.

“In retrospect, it would have been good to do the Super Bowl interview, throw a few deep passes into the end zone,” he said.

On the economy, Welch said the economic indicators are “solid” but people are “feeling some anxiety” about making ends meet when they pay the grocery bills. READ MORE

Former And Future President Donald Trump Gets Nominated For Nobel Peace Prize For His Work In Facilitating The End Times Abraham Accords

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

A Republican lawmaker has nominated Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize, citing his historic policy in the Middle East with the end times Abraham Accords

I agree that Donald Trump should absolutely be given the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on the end times Abraham Accords, no question about it. But as we have shown you repeatedly over the past few years, Trump and Jared Kushner were not the originators of the Abraham Accords, Mohamed bin Zayed was the one who created them. Why else do you think Jared Kushner was given 3 billion dollars worth of investment ‘seed money’ from his Muslim friends for his Affinity Partners hedge fund. Show him the money? They sure did. Payment for a job well done.

“And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! Genesis 17:18 (KJB)

I believe that the Daniel 9:27 covenant that will be confirmed by Antichrist will be strongly attached to the Abraham Accords, that’s the level of importance we place on that document. If you go back to our ‘The Last Trump’ section, and read the articles we wrote about why God put Donald Trump in office via Daniel 2:21, it will all make sense. 8 years ago, NTEB was one of the only news outlets to successfully predict that Trump would win a landslide, the Lord gave us the heads-up on that one. God put him into office because He knew that Trump would declare Jerusalem to the capital of Israel, and he did. He knew that Trump would be the first president to move the US Embassy, he did, and He knew that Trump would be the only president who would agree to the Abraham Accords. Exciting times, my brothers and sisters in arms, exciting times! TO THE FIGHT!!!

Republican lawmaker nominates Donald Trump for Nobel Peace Prize for ‘historic’ Middle East policy Abraham Accords

FROM THE INDEPENDENT UK: New York Rep Claudia Tenney said in a statement she decided to nominate the former president for his role in the Abraham Accords treaty, which formally normalised relations between the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Israel.

“Donald Trump was instrumental in facilitating the first new peace agreements in the Middle East in almost 30 years,” she claimed in a statement posted on her website.

“For decades, bureaucrats, foreign policy ‘professionals’, and international organizations insisted that additional Middle East peace agreements were impossible without a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. President Trump proved that to be false,” she added.

“The valiant efforts by President Trump in creating the Abraham Accords were unprecedented and continue to go unrecognized by the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, underscoring the need for his nomination today. Now more than ever, when Joe Biden’s weak leadership on the international stage is threatening our country’s safety and security, we must recognize Trump for his strong leadership and his efforts to achieve world peace. I am honored to nominate former President Donald Trump today and am eager for him to receive the recognition he deserves,” the statement continued. READ MORE

Donald Trump Scores Landslide Blowout In Iowa Caucus Setting The Stage For Perhaps The Greatest Comeback In American Political History

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Huge win for Donald Trump in the Iowa caucuses on Monday enshrines one of the most astonishing comebacks in American political history.

With 91 felony charges against him, with DA’s like Fani Willis in Georgia conspiring against him, against all odds greater than you could imagine, Donald Trump won in a landslide in Iowa last night. It remains a long road, however, from last night to the White House. Last night’s win only served to remind me about the grim specter of assassination that lurks in the shadows, the last remaining way for the Left to ‘stop Trump’. Nothing is off the table in 2024, including that.

“Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.” Daniel 2:20-22 (KJB)

America in 2024 is a divided, broken nation who, like a car that’s run out of gas, is coasting on fumes but for how much longer? Don’t even bother trying to campaign on a platform of ‘unity’, because that’s not going to happen. America is a nation on the cusp of a second civil war, a scenario being nurtured and promoted by people like former president Barack Obama and the entire phalanx of the liberal media. Could 2024 be the year that the curtain comes down on the longest-running experiment in self-government in human history? That’s the question, and that’s the memo.

Trump’s landslide Iowa win is a stunning show of strength

FROM FAKE NEWS CNN: Losing one-term presidents almost never mount subsequent successful primary campaigns, much less pull off landslides that demonstrate utter dominance of their party. Donald Trump transformed the GOP in his populist, nationalist, nihilistic image in 2016. By claiming 50% of the vote in the biggest win in caucus history, putting him on course to his third consecutive nomination, he showed that eight years after his outsider presidential victory, the current GOP is entirely his party.

“The big night is going to be in November, when we take back our country,” Donald Trump told his first proper victory party since he shocked the world by winning the 2016 election. His MAGA-hat wearing crowd greeted him with chants of “Trump, Trump, Trump” beneath two vast screens reading “Trump wins Iowa!”

But the ex-president’s rebound is more stunning for another reason. He won despite 91 criminal charges and other legal entanglements that threaten his freedom and his fortune. In a head-spinning snapshot of the unprecedented times, he’s expected to show up in a courtroom in Manhattan on Tuesday morning for the opening of a defamation trial.

His Iowa triumph came three years and nine days after he told a mob to “fight like hell” before it ransacked the US Capitol in an attempt to thwart the congressional certification of President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win. Trump’s dominance on Monday night shows that among the most committed Republican voters, there is no price for him to pay for the worst attack on an election in modern history. In fact, his successful leveraging of his criminal plight to paint a narrative of persecution is the superpower that renewed his bond with GOP base voters and left his rivals with an impossible conundrum about how to exploit his liabilities.

His caucus victory also demonstrates the success of Trump’s election denial strategy, which has convinced millions of GOP voters of the false belief he was illegally ejected from power in 2020. For Americans who believe Biden’s warning that Trump is the “most anti-democratic president with a small ‘d’ in American history,” Monday night will have sown utter dread.

Trump’s vow to win a second term dedicated to “retribution” against his enemies, his labeling of political opponents as “vermin” and his warnings that immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of America, which are reminiscent of 1930s dictators, were no disqualification in Iowa. Instead, the president who attempted to overturn democracy to stay in power used democracy far more effectively than any of his Republican opponents to win an electoral endorsement from GOP voters who want him back in the White House.
