Trump has promoted and patronized his own properties, from riding down the gilded escalators in Trump Tower as he announced his campaign in June 2015 to hosting primary-night news conferences at lavish Mar-a-Lago and reimbursing himself with campaign cash spent to fly on his own 757 jet and rent premium campaign office space inside his flagship building. And while Trump won’t meet his infamous 2000 prediction — “I could be the first presidential candidate to run and make money on it” — he does seem determined to ensure that the national spotlight that remains fixated on him helps brighten the Trump Organization’s bottom line.Politico
