What a stunningly bad point. I've been alleged to have done several things for which I wasn't arrested (and no, I'm not going to tell you what they are). 'Not being arrested' does not equal 'didn't do it'.
And Mr. Trump funneling campaign monies back into his own businesses isn't an allegation - it is a fact.

I would love to see Trump on the business end of a pitchfork.... metaphorically speaking, of course. I think it will happen and the best part will be, that he jumps on there himself.

Um, no.

Quote:Donald Trump to forgive his loan to campaign
Quote:Donald Trump announced Thursday that he's forgiving the millions he's loaned to his own campaign, calling it a contribution "made in order to 'Make America Great Again.'"
In a written statement, the presumptive GOP nominee said he would not be requiring the campaign to pay him back. The total loan amounted to $46.1 million by the end of May 31, according to the most recent financial records available.
Now, calling it a contribution is irrelevant as political contributions are not tax deductible anyway so this is all a rather pointless money-laundering scheme. I suppose it will enable him to point to his suddenly "improved" fundraising which was pretty dismal up to this point and is still pretty dismal if you consider the source of this $46.1 million. I imagine only the dumbest of Drumpfucks would be conned by this. Wyrd?

You really are an idiot. When Trump wins please admit that you are the idiot.

Boru Given the number and assortment of people who are trying to sabotage Trump don't you think they would be jumping all over this if there was anything to it? It's all propaganda.

Doesn't know the difference between crying and attacking ... no wonder your posts are so schizophrenic.

One of the talking heads on the Sunday morning shows (forget which one) notes Trump has received sufficient news coverage over and above what Hillary received as to be worth at least 2 BILLION dollars in equivalent advertising.
This is probably a bigger deal than where the paltry sums noted in the OP are going.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
