Have you ever wondered where all the money that TFG grifts goes to? Where does all that money come in? Who receives it? Who opens the envelopes? Who counts it? Who deposits it?
Does he have a team of people that do that for him? Is it a company that offers that service? Do you think he trusts them at handling his money? Or does he have his family (Don Jr, Eric & Ivanka) in some back room processing the money?
I get a picture of a very secure 'receiving/counting room' - like the ones you see in the documentaries of the back rooms in Las Vegas casino's. A secure room with camera's recording all the action - to make sure that no one cheats him.
Basically - how is the money that gets donated to him - processed?
For that matter - how does any politician process their donations?
I got to think that this is a big task that needs to be addressed for any politician.
I'm blown away by the fact that a large part of being a politician is raising money. I blown away that there seems to be an endless supply of money going to these politicians. It seemingly never stops.
It seems to me that the receiving/counting room aspect of being a politician is a 'big business'.
I guess I just had too much time on my hands and began thinking of this. But when you contemplate this aspect of running a campaign; trying to get elected and re-elected that this is one of those functions that is not really talked about or mentioned.
I'd like to see some journalist do a documentary on - perhaps Tr**p's - grift money handling. I think it would be enlightening for all the people that get sucked into his BS to see what goes on in the back rooms of the Tr**p empire in how their money is processed.

Anyone can beg for $... does the FEC oversee it at this point?
