Off shore bank accounts

It's his personal wallet. Can you imagine the skimming and graft with all of this free money? It's Trump's retirement fund wired off shore.

In 2016 he said he would "self-fund" his campaign so he would not owe favors to big donors. His supporters made a big deal about his independence from "money interests". Then donors came in and he took out his funds from the Committee treasury, saying the money had only been a "loan". From that point on he contributed nothing to the Campaign Committee and relied exclusively on outside donors, many very large like Robert Mercer and Sheldon Adelson, who together contributed over $50M. He made a practice of selling Trump merchandise and using Trump real estate facilities and charged the Committee above-market rates. So in the end, instead of being "self-funded", as represented, he was 100% outside funded from "money interests" and made a profit on the campaign.
