Quote:WASHINGTON ― After bragging for a year about how cheaply he was running his campaign, Donald Trump is spending more freely now that other people are contributing ― particularly when the beneficiary is himself.

Trump nearly quintupled the monthly rent his presidential campaign pays for its headquarters at Trump Tower to $169,758 in July, when he was raising funds from donors, compared with March, when he was self-funding his campaign, according to a Huffington Post review of Federal Election Commission filings. The rent jumped even though he was paying fewer staff in July than he did in March.

The Trump campaign paid Trump Tower Commercial LLC $35,458 in March ― the same amount it had been paying since last summer ― and had 197 paid employees and consultants. In July, it paid 172 employees and consultants.

You don't understand how any of this works.

Clueless.

good grief you are dumb.

See, this is why his con has been so successful!

The way Max is acting, it sounds like more polls have come out showing a withering Clinton lead.

We pay rent on company construction equipment that we own. The "rent" is paid to ourselves as an accounting method for tracking equipment use and future budgets. You'd have to be a producer to understand.

Except it's not "paid to ourselves." It's paid FROM his campaign donors, TO Trump Enterprises, or Trump in his proper person as we would say in legal parlance. I don't think you understand your own accounting tricks.

Here's a poll for ya UofM

Hillary has jumped out to a 19% lead in VA in a newly released Roanoke College poll taken during August 7—17:

And before Green chimes in, her lead was +16 when Johnson and Stein were included.

So what? Trump is running his campaign. Where else would the money go?

Where else would the money go? I don't know. Advertising? Data and ground operation? You know, what campaigns that aren't grifting their donors usually spend on.

Wow, a 19 point lead in VA. She only has a 5 point lead across the US, so Hillary must be getting slaughtered in the rust belt and NY to make those numbers jive.

pssst, its time to change your underwear again.

So the use of Trump Tower is at no cost?

Virginia is 2.6% of the nation's population. A 19 point difference in a state with 2.6% of the country's population is meaningless on a national level.

You're either trying and failing terribly to be funny, or you're really bad with numbers.

No need for you and Max Saggy Pants to be butthurt. If you all want to believe a poll that has VA up by 19 points, go right ahead.

Not when it's a state that's traditionally split almost right down the middle with transplants from all over the country. UMState was right, something doesn't jibe.

Nothing wrong with it, as long as donors are aware they are giving cash that will get converted to the candidates personal funds.

I doubt the issue of quid pro quo will ever become a reality so that isn't really an issue either.

What's wrong with it? Well for starters, it's a violation fo campaign finance law not to charge market rates if you're providing services to your own campaign. Kind of hard to see how Trump is charging market rates if he just jacked up his Trump Tower rent 500%.

I don't really believe she's up 19%, probably more like 10-12%. Still, lol at trying to spin that as good news for Trump.

even if that was true, which it is not, his donors aren't all from saudi arabia.
