Trump and his buddies made a killing off the midterms
Instead, through the end of September, his campaign paid $3.2 million to Trump’s own properties and businesses. There was money paid for rent at Trump Tower. There were hotel rooms at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC. There were banquet room rentals at Trump country clubs in New Jersey and Florida. The Trump campaign also paid for more than $1.2 million worth of flights using Trump’s personal jets—planes the president no longer travels on, but which other family members still do.
Much of the remaining money was spent on services for Trump’s own reelection and fundraising effort. Trump’s digital operation—online ads, videos, and social media messaging—cost $8.9 million during that time period. More than half of that—$5 million—went to a firm owned by the head of Trump’s 2020 campaign, Brad Parscale. It was also a good election for Trump’s attorneys: His campaign spent $5.9 million on legal consulting.
