trumps pockets or offshore bank accounts.... or routed to whomever he owes at the moment. I mean, honestly... that money will never be seen to be deposited where it should be - in the treasury - unless there's a quick way out of it for trump. He's not going to be happy until he has ALL the money possible. Anything less is not acceptable to him. But it has to be done in such a way that it's either hidden or so complex as to be unknowable... so that he always has "plausible deniability."
