Here's how a pro-Trump super PAC can fill Trump's personal bank account

Want to party with President Trump and maybe some Cabinet member on New Year’s Eve? Just pay $750 for a night at Mar-a-Lago. Want to impress the president ahead of an important Oval Office meeting? Rent out one of the conference rooms at Trump Hotel. Want even more access? Pay $200,000 to become a member at one of his hotels, clubs, or golf courses.

This pay-to-play arrangement has already been documented. But the role of political “outside groups” as middle men has gotten too little attention. It is brilliantly simple, effective, and beyond legal reproach.
