I was reading an article that indicated that Don D. Con ...

planned to give his "maybe Monday" speech (read: attack on HRC and Bill) at the Trump National Golf Course ... then, something struck me ... Don D. Con, hasn't strayed far from his earlier model ... I read from the start of his campaign, at Don D. Con events, there were vendors selling Don D. Con hats, shirts, foam fingers, and other like campaign stuff. These vendors were all a part of an LLC controlled by Don D. Con, personally. So he got a cut of the revenue generated ... he, then, "loaned" the proceeds from the sales to his campaign to pay for the event ... Note: campaign loans get paid back to the lender, after the campaign ends.

Do you think the trump tower gave the Don D. Con campaign the floor space for his announcement (and subsequent promotions) for free? ... Nope, the tower charged the campaign rent ... which will show up on the tower's balance sheet as revenue, and later, some of that revenue will show up on Don D. Con's tax filings, as dividends.

The same will hold true for his "maybe Monday" speech.

Don D. Con campaign is merely a money laundering scheme.

Hrs never been self funding. Even the use of his airplane is paid for by his loan. He's running a scam.
