As President he will be able to direct funds/services/legislation/military action to benefit those to whom he is indebted.

... or would President Trump use the national treasury like his own foundation?

Trump said quite a while ago that he and Melania would not live in the White House, so I suppose they could rent it out. He could probably make a killing renting out the bedrooms on an hourly basis.
Just a Missouri school teacher ... stubborn as a mule and addicted to logic.

...maybe feed the troops on Trump Steaks and Trump Wine? It wouldn't be a great deal different from Vice President Richard Cheney's (no-bid)contracts for Halliburton to feed the troops. That is less concerning to me than quid pro quo favors granted to foriegn nationals, banks, or governments he is in debt to. He's going to be in a position to sell out the country to pay his debts then enrich himself. It's not gonna be pretty folks.

Lets see, Trump has been looting his own charity to pay his bills. https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...c-7d11-11e6-ac8e-cf8e0dd91dc7_story.htmlOne can only wonder where all his campaign money is going. He doesn't seem to pay bills or employees but does pay for the use of his plane, space in his buildings, etc. Google "trump sued for non payment" and you will hit a motherload of this stuff. My own thought is that his campaign probably needs a full audit. If that's done one can only wonder at what turns up. It seems, however, that the man not only lies but steals whatever he can too. His thought, as he presented it, is that OPM is the way to run a business (with Other People's Money) Yep, this is a guy we really need as president?

I think you're right. After almost evening the odds in the last couple weeks, Clinton's numbers have begun to pick up a little. The debates will seal the fate of whichever candidate is destined to win. In theory, that would be Clinton, as it seems Trump really has little to offer beyond empty platitudes and red meat for his base. Republicans, however have pretty much rallied behind him at this point though and I can't really say the same for Democrats in regards to Clinton.

Last I saw Clinton had 90% of Dems and Trump had 80% of the Republithugs. Johnson may make a bigger dent in the orange man's support.
