Trump’s Companies Made $1.6 Million Off the Secret Service<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Trump’s Companies Made $1.6 Million Off the Secret Service<\/strong> : It\u2019s not the only way he\u2019s made a profit off his campaign.<\/span>
\n Donald Trump is making millions off his own Secret Service detail.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Service is tasked with protecting high-ranking government officials and presidential candidates (among other duties) like Trump. Since this protection is mandatory, it\u2019s common practice for the Service to reimburse campaigns for travel expenses. But it looks like the $1.6 million the Service recently paid the Trump campaign went right back to Trump\u2019s business interests, according to Politico.<\/span><\/p>\n

The business mogul and his security detail regularly fly on the Trump-owned jet service, TAG Air. The firm also manages Trump\u2019s fleet of private planes. So the money the Service pays back goes right back to his business. Politico reviewed Federal Election Commission filings and found that TAG has already made $6 million off Trump\u2019s campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n

For comparison, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton charters planes from a private company called Executive Fliteways, one where the Clintons do not have any ownership interest, Politico reported.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the only way that Trump has been profiting from his White House run.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last week, he finally admitted President Obama was born in the United States at his hotel in Washington, D.C., earning free media coverage for what CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper later called a \u201cpolitical rick roll.\u201d Trump\u2019s campaign has spent major sums on rent at his hotels and buying copies of his own books, too. He\u2019s even previously stated that he may wind up actually making money from his presidential bid.<\/span><\/p>\n
