[The Associated Press] reported that a review of Federal Election Commission filings shows $6.2 million – or about 10 percent of total campaign expenditures – had been disbursed to the candidate’s corporate products and services through the end of May.

The campaign has paid $423,000 to Trump’s private Mar-a-Lago Club in south Florida for rent and catering and an additional $135,000 in rent and utilities to Trump Restaurants LLC.

Even $4.7 million spent on campaign swag has a tie to Trump: The provider, Ace Specialties, is owned by a board member of son Eric Trump’s charitable foundation.

Not surprisingly, details like these are raising questions anew from Trump critics who’ve argued his entire campaign venture is some kind of scam.

Dude, he owns the facilities that can aid his campaign. If his funding his own campaign, why shouldn't he employ his own company rather than other companies?
It's still a lean campaign.
I mean Jeb Bush had 100 million worth of campaign funds and spent so much and still lost.

I would say that is pretty much crappy.

I wonder: is it possible he is using it as payback of his personal loan to his funds with interest and deduce losses from tax?

Some said Berlusconi in Italy had tried something like that.

I seriously have no idea why do you guys expect him to spend his own money in other people's businesses who have not supported him financially.

Clinton and others who are running do not have the choice of their own business to provide the things needed. If they did, they would have used it too.

He actually stays in property he doesn't own as well. Didn't he say he was staying in Holiday Inns at some point of time? To try a less luxurious hotel?

If the bills are inflated, he should have spent as much as Jeb Bush.
