Trump's properties made $4.2 million from Republican campaigns, even as GOP suffered defeats

For President Trump’s party, the 2018 elections did not turn out as hoped.

But for President Trump’s company, they were a huge — and lucrative — success.

The Trump Organization took in $4.2 million from GOP candidates and campaign committees during the last two-year election cycle, according to campaign finance filings.

In that time, Trump’s best customer was a candidate who wasn’t even on the ballot in 2018: Trump himself. His 2020 reelection campaign spent $743,781 at Trump-owned properties since Inauguration Day, paying for rent at Trump Tower, for lodging at Trump’s D.C. hotel and for water from Trump Ice.

The Republican National Committee also held several major events at Trump’s D.C. hotel since he was elected to office, including a Christmas party in 2016 and a gala fundraiser in the summer.

1. Add to that the bribe money lobbyists and foreign countries pay

By staying at or buying into Trump properties and the money taxpayers fork over every time Trump visits and stays at one of his properties. Trump is taking in the money all for personal gain. Oh, and he gave himself and family tax cuts and will continue to privatize public resources and decrease social services. MAGA.

2. Trump Ice - discontinued for distribution to the public in 2010

But apparently is still available at his hotels, golf courses, and in his website
