Sorry if repost, article from yesterday ... I didn't see it posted, so ...

The richest president in American history, who has yet to donate to his 2020 campaign, has now moved $2.3 million of contributions from other people into his private companies.
The most recent expenses look familiar. The president accepted $38,000 in rent last month through Trump Tower Commercial LLC, the entity that owns his Fifth Avenue skyscraper. Since Trump took office, his campaign has paid that company $1.5 million, more than any other property in the Trump empire, according to an analysis of federal filings. The Republican National Committee also coordinated with the campaign to pay Trump Tower Commercial LLC an additional $225,000.
Trump got another $8,000 in July via the Trump Corporation, a management company that he owns. The precise reason for those payments is unclear. Campaign filings describe the rationale as legal & IT consulting but its still a mystery why Trumps management company is providing such services. The Trump Corporation has now taken in $281,000 from the campaign since the president entered the Oval Office.

As far as he's concerned, the White House is just another Trump business. You can tell not only by the nepotism, the disregard for democratic decision-making, and the influx of Russian investment, but also by the way the country is going bankrupt under his watch.
