There are many ways people can give Trump money.  

For example, just a couple of weeks ago he set up his own PAC, the Save America PAC.  Then he started asking people to contribute to his "Election Defense Fund."  The fine print on the Election Defense Fund website says the money actually goes to the Save America PAC.  Trump controls the Save America Pac, so he can spend the money it takes in as he sees fit.  He can hire himself to run it, he can hire his kids, he can practically do whatever he wants with the money.

“This is a slush fund. That’s the bottom line,” said Paul S. Ryan, a longtime campaign finance attorney with the good government group Common Cause. “Trump may just continue to string out this meritless litigation in order to fleece his own supporters of their money and use it in the coming years to pad his own lifestyle while teasing a 2024 candidacy.”

[font=FreightText, Georgia, serif]Save America is a type of campaign committee that is often referred to as a “leadership PAC,” which has higher contribution limits — $5,000 per year — and faces fewer restrictions on how the money is spent. Unlike candidate campaign accounts, leadership PACs can also be tapped to pay for personal expenses.[/font]

Since this is legal, you can rest assured Trump isn't the only one doing it *cough democrats*. But the DNCMSM won't dare investigate and cast unfounded speculation upon them, doncha know. 

This article is nothing but pure speculation, using such hard hitting journalistic terms such as "may", "can also be", and "could be". That's some Pulitzer stuff, right there. The only fact presented is that a PAC was formed.
