Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign funds are reportedly flowing straight back into his own coffers, a recent Forbes report reveals based on Federal Election Commission records. Despite his personal wealth estimated at $6.4 billion, Trump hasn’t donated a dime personally to his 2024 presidential campaign, opting to raise funds from supporters around the country instead. Yet the records indicate a staggering $4.6 million has been funneled into his private business.

The bulk of these funds, as per Forbes, have landed in Trump’s aviation venture, Tag Air, with the Secret Service footing an $800,000 bill for campaign-related airfare. This year’s operation differs significantly from past campaigns, signaling Trump’s intent to maximize earnings during his travels using his private jet.

Forbes approached a campaign spokesperson for comment, who deflected criticism by targeting Joe and Hunter Biden instead. Meanwhile, expenditures include $332,000 at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Florida retreat, along with $20,000 at Trump National Doral and $36,000 at the Las Vegas Trump hotel.

Trump’s other properties have also benefited, with $20,000 spent at Trump National Doral and $36,000 at his Las Vegas hotel. Trump-affiliated groups have funneled additional cash into his businesses, bringing the total to around $7 million since the 2020 election.

These revelations underscore Trump’s unique approach to campaign financing and raise ethical concerns about the intersection of his political ambitions and personal business interests.
