20% of his campaign-expenditures go to his businesses and he draws a salary from his own presidential campaign.
-------------------
Trump is spending next to nothing of his own money on his own campaign. (He only gives out his money as loans to the RNC.)
Trump refuses to get serious about fundraising. (Maybe begging for support is just beneath him...)
Trump thinks he can run a presidential campaign on the cheap, with free media and the power of his charisma.
Trump's campaign:
* next to no grassroots-campaigns
* next to no data-analysis staff
* no rapid response PR-staff (Trump said, he would be that)
* Only one staffer for campaign communications, Hope Hicks, and she has no prior campaign-experience. And there already exists an
Internet-meme how she refuses to issue comments on anything.
Trump demands that the RNC cough up the money to fund his campaign while refusing to fundraise to get the RNC that money.
While elections are won locally, Trump keeps on campaigning in territory that is already safely republican.

This is how Trump does business:
http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/6/20/1539947/-Wait-is-the-Trump-presidential-campaign-just-an-over-elaborate-bank-heist
Trump needed money. Quickly. Because loans he had personally guaranteed were about to be due.
So he founded a company and pocketed some money by making it public and selling its stocks.
Then he sold two money-losing Trump casinos to his new company. At inflated prices. While pocketing a salary for arranging that deal with himself being buyer and seller at the same time.
Then, after setting his new company on the road to financial ruin, Trump continued drawing a salary and making profit from selling over-priced Trump-products to this new company.
It's just one big con-job.
Campaigning for President with as little effort as possible, spending as little of his own money as possible.
Expecting other investors (the RNC...) to cough up the money to keep HIS venture running.
Trump is putting NOTHING on the line for his own campaign.
Trump is already preparing talking-points to have scapegoats ready in case of failure: like his "not-so-smart" campaign-staff, or how the RNC refused to support him in every way possible...
And when this non-campaign explodes in a fiery crash of colossal defeat, who will walk away from this venture without a scratch, without money lost, and with plenty of new media-attention to make more money???
If Trump is running for President, why is he running his campaign like a business-opportunity he wants to exploit, instead of like an actual election-campaign???
