Questions For USians Who Know More About US Politics Than I Do

RE: Questions For USians Who Know More About US Politics Than I Do
Quote: He has loaned the campaign money and I am sure expects it to be paid back.

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?
