Trump speaks to crowd of supporters at the Phoenix Convention Center during a 2020 Trump rally.Donald Trump has charged his own reelection campaign $1.3 million for rent, food, lodging and other expenses since taking office, according to aanalysis of the latest campaign filings. And although outsiders have contributed more than $50 million to the campaign, the billionaire president hasn’t handed over any of his own cash. The net effect: $1.

At first, he acted like it, spending $50 million of his own money from April 2015 to June 2016. But the following month, when he was officially named the Republican nominee for president, his financing model changed. From July to November of 2016, outsiders contributed $234 million while Trump put up just $16 million.

The reason for those payments, which are listed as “rent,” remains unclear.staked out the property for 14 hours on a November day but still could not pin down what exactly the campaign was renting. A person working behind the front desk couldn’t make sense of it either.

When did realDonaldTrump live on money he earned from his own honest labor? He is a moocher and a bum. I can't believe he is part of human race. NeverTrumps

This is a very misleading tweet. Trump campaign should reimburse Trump’s businesses when their is a legitimate expense to house or feed the campaign staff. Every campaign does this. How much did Hillary spend of her own fortune to be president? How much did Obama personall6 spend

Well somehow he was elected and it was common knowledge that his companies had been bankrupted numerous times. He’s a grifter. What did you expect. ?

How much money did USAA shift into Forbes account to get on the Forbes Top Bank List? Do a Facebook search on “USAA Scams”. In Jan 19, the CFPB fined USAA $15.5 million. In Feb 19, the OCC issued USAA a cease-and-desist order for “engaging in unsafe or unsound banking practices”

Well that's not shady...

His 'business'; aka his racket
