No, Donald Trump Is Not "Self-Funding" His Campaign

The wispy-haired demagogue began his campaign for the presidency by reminding us that he was very, very rich. So rich, in fact, that he would be “self-funding” his campaign, a term which usually means that he would — duh — personally pay all of his campaign’s expenses. Not so. The dude’s a con artist, as we know, so coming from him, “self-funding” means something entirely different. If and when Trump gets his supporters to foot the bill for those millions in zero-interest loans, this whole campaign will turn out to be one yuge money-maker; perhaps the most cost-effective publicity campaign ever perpetrated upon a democracy.
