Donald Trump hasn’t donated a dollar to his own reelection effort, but his businesses have managed to take in millions from others
The biggest beneficiary has been the president’s assortment of hospitality holdings, which have needed some help
In 2018, after profits plunged at Trump National Doral, a 643-room golf resort, the RNC upped its spending from $3,000 to $603,000, shelling out for catering, venue rentals and travel expenses
The Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., which does not appear to be earning enough money to cover its interest expenses, has received at least $1.1 million from the campaign, the RNC and their joint-fundraising committees
Almost every month, the campaign pays $38,000 in rent to Trump Tower Commercial LLC, an entity the president owns outright. The RNC has also helped funnel money into Trump Tower Commercial LLC, making 5 payments totaling $225,000 from September 2017 to January 2018

President Donald Trump, who declared “I don’t make money from China” in last night’s presidential debate, has in fact collected millions of dollars from government-owned entities in China since he took office
The Trump Organization reportedly donated a total of $343,000 to the U.S. Treasury in 2017 and 2018, Trump’s first 2 years as president
Once America’s richest jeweler, Alex and Ani’s Carolyn Rafaelian has lost $900 million in less than 2 years—and no longer works for the company she founded

In an exchange with Democratic challenger Joe Biden, Trump insisted Fauci and other experts underestimated the threat of Covid-19 in the spring, claiming the infectious disease expert described Covid-19 as “no problem” and predicted it would “go away soon” forbes.com/sites/joewalsh…
