    I am shocked actually. I had a conversation with my resident Trump supporter at work. They actually are saying this is all Fake News just to make him look bad. They are saying he only had to pay $750 a year because he was helping so many non profits. He was so generous with his money that he paid extra taxes just to make sure his taxes are covered and his salary now could be used to just cover his taxes beings he is donating that also. Because he donates everything he isn't supposed to pay taxes.

    Non-Partisan Watchdog Accuses Trump Campaign Of ‘Laundering’ $170 Million

    The Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan campaign finance watchdog group, filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission Tuesday accusing the Trump campaign of “laundering” $170 million through numerous companies, some with connections to former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale.

    KEY FACTS

    “The Trump campaign and Trump Make America Great Again Committee disguised nearly $170 million of campaign spending by laundering the funds through firms,” the complaint claims.

    It adds that the firms are “headed by Trump’s recent campaign manager, Brad Parscale, and/or created by Trump campaign lawyers.”

    The complaint alleges that the Trump campaign paid millions of dollars to campaign-connected vendors without reporting those payments to the FEC, specifically honing in on American Made Media Consultants (AMMC), a firm created by Parscale, which has been paid over $106 million, making it the campaigns largest vendor.

    AMMC was ostensibly created to circumvent media buyers, but the complaint points to FCC records that show the campaign has used media buying firm Harris Sikes to place some of its ads, alleging the campaign is “failing to report payments to the firms and is instead using AMMC as a conduit for its payments to the firms.”

    The complaint also points to an app called Phunware, which Parscale has said was created and is “directly owned” by the campaign, but which has never appeared in the campaign’s spending reports because, as the complaint alleges, it was paid through AMMC.

    Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh denied the charges made in the complaint, telling Forbes, “The campaign reports all payments to AMMC as required by the FEC. The campaign complies with all campaign finance laws and FEC regulations.”

    CRUCIAL QUOTE

    By failing to report payments to the campaign’s true vendors and employees, the Trump campaign and Trump Make America Great Again Committee have violated, and continue to violate, federal law’s transparency requirements,” the complaint asserts, adding that such activities “undermine the vital public information role that reporting is intended to serve.”

    Can't believe Trump spent $70K on his hair...the stylist is probably still laughing...I thought maybe he lost a bet.

    When he went to N. Korea it probably marked the first time in history that the owners of the 2 worst hairstyles in the world were in the same room at the same time.



    In fact, the two hair styles are so bad that when you swap the 2 styles, it actually somehow improves the look of both individuals.

    He is in desperate financial straits. He owes hundreds of millions of dollars due within four years which he personally guaranteed, meaning his personal assets can be seized. He has no way to secure the money. How desperate is he to stay in office knowing it could be awkward for banks to foreclose on a sitting president? What laws would he break, how much would he cheat to prevent a free and fair election?

    He has many ways to secure the money, all of them involve selling out this country.

    And those properties/personal assets have been terribly over valued. They probably won't cover all that he owes.
