Trump Could Still Use Campaign Donations to Pay Himself Back for $36M Loan After Saying He Wouldn't

Donald Trump insists he personally funded his primary campaign, but a new report filed by his presidential campaign tells a different story.

Trump has now spent a total of $43 million, according to his filing with the Federal Election Commission made available Saturday, and all of it is still structured as a loan to the campaign. That means he can be legally reimbursed for his spending, with new campaign donations, after August.

When NBC News reported on that option last week, Trump responded by saying he had "absolutely no intention of paying myself back for the nearly $50 million I have loaned the campaign."

He added that the loans were "a contribution," and aides told NBC News the campaign would soon convert the loans to donations.

The campaign's new report, required by federal election law, reveals that contrary to Trump's statement, his campaign continues to treat the money as a loan — not a contribution.

What has Hillary spent, of her own small fortune, on her campaign?

Can Elkin pivot to the truth of that?

Red Herring Johnnie Tardo.

Trump claimed that he was self funding because he said that he wouldn't be bought out by big money donors. Trump boasted and bragged about this at every rally? Clinton never made the claim...

Now Trump is crawling on his hands and knees begging for money. But he has in excess of 10 BILLION dollars. That should cover the costs...

"Tardo"?

Is that some suggestion you are bright?

Come on, Elkin, you are one of the dumbest people on the Internet.

A slave to Left Wing ideology.

This is only the beginning. Watch for the left to become more shrill and frantic as the campaign goes on and Killery slips deeper and deeper into the quagmire she has created.
There will also be more violence, death threats and dirty dealings as they see their chances slipping away.

The party of peace, love, tolerance, diversity, inclusion, and respect indeed.

Now Trump is crawling on his hands and knees begging for money..... ~~Elk

Of course Elk is a, "lying sack of shit".

Trump has been self funded from the start and his victories have been his own....but now

the RNC and the Trump campaign have formed a joint venture to raise funds that will primarily

be used by the RNC to help Republicans in the lower races....but may not be as much help to

Trump this late in the game......since it usually takes up to two years to raise sufficient funds

to support a Presidential campaign...

I believe this is deal Trump was offered by Ryan in return for the RNC's support.

That is the same as what I am hearing.

It takes about 1 and 1/2 billion to run a general election campaign, but most of that will go to people seeking House, Senate,and other down-ballot things.
