Without going into how Trump loaned (not donated and instead overchardged for services) to his own campaign, maybe you should look into his investors. Clinton was broadsided for Ukrainian donations, from a man who donated to the Trump Foundation... I find it humorous that people are unwilling to do any amount of research to see that A) Trump is worth a lot less than he's claimed and B) He's in bed with the Russians, REITs, and the big banks. Talking points are fun, but knowing how the NY and global RE industries work is actually meaningful.

This really has nothing to do with the argument. The facts are that Trump raised far less money than Hillary throughout the campaign, and that the financial industry (the most stereotypical "big business" and "corporate suit" industry) vastly favored Hillary over Trump. Claiming that Trump, not Hillary, represented the corporate suits is ridiculous.

Also, if you want to bring up foreign contributions, what about the Clinton Foundation receiving millions of dollars from foreign governments while Hillary was Secretary of State? No matter how you look at it, Hillary was far more of a puppet than Trump could ever be.

Wrong!

If Trump used the campaign as a personal fundraiser, through the aforementioned loans, etc., it's pretty relevant to how ethically he operates. He also switched over the GOP donors (Sheldon? Sheldon? Sheldon?), once he was nominated. As far as representing the suits, who do you think finances his RE projects, who do you think owns the buildings that pay his licensing fees, who do you think financed his recapitalizations, etc.? They're the same banks!

There's a very real chance that Trump is the Kremlin candidate. Anyone who wants to put any research into this will see his close connections to Russian oligarchs and the Russian mafia. It was in the news, but everyone was too busy talking about p*ssies, foundations, or universities. These are very bad people; google them. It's real.
