    Default Trump spent $5.6 million on private jets

    Donald Trump’s presidential campaign continues to funnel money to the candidate’s businesses and family, the latest campaign financial disclosures show, and his operation is far from prepared for the final push of this election season.

    It’s not just that his rival Hillary Clinton is raising more money and spending it on TV ads and field organizers getting out the vote, though she is: Clinton raised $52 million and spent $38 million in July; Trump raised $36 million and spent $18 million. It’s that the money Trump takes in is spent really inefficiently...

    The campaign has spent $7.7 million at Trump family companies, about 9% of his total campaign spending. The bulk, $5.6 million, went to Trump’s private jet company, as well as payments to various Trump buildings for office and living space, including Trump Tower in New York City ($881,000) and the Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida ($432,000). The campaign has paid Eric Trump’s winery almost $5,000, and reimbursed Donald Trump, Jr. almost $20,000 in travel costs. Trump has said he won’t ask his campaign to pay back the “almost $50 million” he has loaned it—which now totals $47.5 million...

    At the moment, Trump’s top expenditure is $18 million on television advertising, which makes sense for a political campaign. Then comes the online ad vendor. But Trump’s third biggest expense is the maker of his iconic Make America Great Again hats, the fourth is his own private jet and the fifth is a law firm.

    So, that's way worse than Hillary's reported expenditure on private jets, isn't it?

    is this in cash or in kind? You know where the value is listed but no actual money goes to that place.

    For bookkeeping purposes businesses have to assign a value to everything.

    Loyal little lapdoggies like to growl when the Hildebeast spends millions on private jets, don't they?

    When their master does it, that's different.
