  1. The economy is doing so well that the Trump Swindle is successful. Actually, a great business model, when it is bad , lines his pockets, and when it is good, it lines his pockets.

  2. Shocking news!

    We’re still talking about the guy who was caught syphoning off funds from a kids cancer charity, right?

  3. >According to a CNN analysis of federal campaign finance data, Trump and associated political groups have funneled more than $28 million in campaign donations into his businesses since he first ran for office in 2015.

    Truely shocking news. I expected that the figure would be 10 times that.

  4. Man I have such a sinking pit in my stomach imagining him winning, and every time he does some full on evil shit and his supporters overlook it and internet leftists downplay the election it that pit gets even bigger.

  5. DoorEmbarrassed1317 on

    Upvote (this article or wherever you see it) and get this trending. I bet their campaign is doing everything to try to suppress it

  6. Sounds like Trump really isn’t interested in winning, he just wants the money. Then he’s out of here if he thinks he could go to prison

  7. Imagine if his supporters had any way of finding out about this or the other 9000 bombshells.

  8. Imagine if this was something Harris did? The media would be all over it and her campaign would be over. With Trump you just throw it on the pile of other unethical and illegal shit he’s done. You will never find a more clear example of rich white guy privilege.

  9. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://newrepublic.com/post/185228/report-trump-profit-campaign-republicans-mar-a-lago) reduced by 74%. (I’m a bot)

    > The Supreme Court handed a win to Republicans Thursday by restoring a voting law in Arizona requiring proof of citizenship with state voter registration forms.

    > Republicans seem to be going all in on the false idea that massive numbers of noncitizens are voting illegally thanks to lax requirements for identification while voting or registering to vote, and keep repeating the claim without any proof.

    > Several Republicans have been peddling the claim for years, and many mentioned it in their speeches at the Republican National Convention last month.

  10. The MAGAs need to stop eating and drinking. Trump needs their money for his bills and his campaign. If you’re not homeless yet, you haven’t done enough for Trump! Sad!

  11. His supporters don’t care. The money could go towards trumps mistress’s abortion and they’d just give more.

  12. Bombshell now means something we already knew but decided as a society to not care about when it comes to this guy specifically

  13. Good. Hope he steals a lot more from his own campaign. Hope the can’t afford a single ad after Labor Day.

  14. Trump’s only real talent is being able to steal $28M and everyone from his friends to his greatest adversaries respond “that’s all?”

  15. misplacedsidekick on

    What a complete non-shocker of a story. I’d be more surprised if he wasn’t stealing from the campaign.

  16. Necessary_Chip9934 on

    Nobody: Wait, what?!?!??!

    Everybody except maga: Duh

    Maga: Yay! He’s a brilliant businessman! He’s stealing from us for us!

  17. Specialist-Invite673 on

    Shocking news would be if he actually faced consequences for any of this bullshit.

  18. I watch Fox News and I’ve never heard of him doing anything nefarious. This must be false! /s

  19. This is really not any shocking news at all. Trump and his family hijacked the Republican National Committee so they could divert campaign funds to pay his business expenses and legal fees. The donations are funneled to various committees. Controlled by Trump to pay Trump’s expenses. Campaign donations have tapered off and they are running the campaign on a very thin line since most of the money has been spend on other things than winning the presidential race.

  20. I hate reading about these ‘bombshell’ revelations. They’re not anymore, no one cares that much because it’s too often and too much.

  21. Is it a bombshell when it was obviously known all along? Literally right from the beginning he didn’t want to give up his company

  22. It takes money to make money. He’s making money. He sits on over a billion dollars of campaign money but uses the party money to run for election. For the last 4 yrs he’s been collecting money. Every time he goes to court people send him money.

  23. Not really a bombshell when we already know he’s been doing this for 8 years already…

  24. What is a “bombshell report” when it comes to Trump anymore? Only people who hate him care at all.

  25. This guy is just eviscerating the entire GOP. Downticket money? Yeah, right. It’s going to take the GOP a generation to unfuck this, if it’s at all even possible.

  26. Really?? The thief and grifter is involved in shady dealings??

    You don’t say…

  27. ThisIsDadLife on

    Oh my god! That’s so crazy! I can’t wait for absolutely nothing to come of this and for he and his campaign to face zero consequences!!!

  28. How is this a bombshell? The better question is why there is no legal action on the subject.
