I wonder if anybody has audited the Trump campaign. My suspicion is that he has been looting his own campaign by charging big bucks for EVERYTHING, his housing, his food, his plane, his children, his wife, EVERYTHING!
Just a thought. There is no doubt that Trump is paying hisself for the use of the 757 with the word "TRUMP" splashed across the tail fin, the use of Mar-a-Largo club, Trump Tower, and such.

I'm pretty sure that's what he is doing. Look for many Trump campaign workers howling about bounced paychecks when it is over. That's SOP for Donald.

Wait a minnit. Is Trump still running?
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

We’d heard rumors of the company’s financial troubles, but I had no idea how bad it really was until my landlord called me one afternoon to tell me that my rent check hadn’t cleared. I logged into my online banking account and saw, to my amazement, that the magazine I worked for— the one with the billionaire’s name on the cover — had stiffed me. Link

Trump looking to institute political tests for immigrants up - AP. I can't keep up with the insane stupidity of this campaign. In a speech the Republican presidential nominee will deliver on Monday in Ohio, Trump will argue that the country needs to work with anyone that shares that mission, regardless of other ideological and strategic disagreements. Any country that wants to work with the U.S. to defeat "radical Islamic terrorism" will be a U.S. ally, he is expected to say.
"Mr. Trump's speech will explain that while we can't choose our friends, we must always recognize our enemies," Trump senior policy adviser Stephen Miller said Sunday. Wasn't this the concept behind the Axis powers? Let me check... um, yeah. And then there is this: Trump is also expected to propose creating a new, ideological test for admission to the country that would assess a candidate's stances on issues like religious freedom, gender equality and gay rights. Through questionnaires, searching social media, interviewing friends and family or other means, applicants would be vetted to see whether they support American values like tolerance and pluralism. Does he realize that "his" demographic can't pass this test? Indeed would be the least likely to?
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Oh, look, someone else had the same thought: Donald Trump's Intolerance for Intolerance - Atlantic. Trump has struggled to support religious freedom, not least with his initial Muslim immigration proposal. He has struggled with tolerance more broadly, for example offering a highly dubious definition of free speech and calling for stricter libel laws. Trump might be in the position of demanding that those seeking to immigrate to or seek refuge in the United States uphold values that he himself seems ambivalent about.

Did you listen to, or watch any of his speech today? It was delivered via TelePrompTers, a vehicle Mr. Trump supposedly despises. And I can see why.
The delivery was not Trump like. It was mostly spouted in a monotone, except when Mr. Trump reverts to his favorite technique--repeating a line he likes over and over and await the applause. Distilled to its essence, Mr. Trump stated that if elected POTUS, he will single handedly eliminate Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorism once and for all. No specifics mentioned other than “I will do it”.
"Trust me. I will quell your fears and make us safe again.”

The same way he makes money: Donald Trump made $39 million running failed casino company - CNN Money. God, what a loser.
