On Second Thought

I'm thinking Donald doesn't pay these people.  He just gives them the illusion of importance by being associated with the Trump name, or maybe some promise of future reward, like he does his gullible supporters.  Because, there are plenty of people out there who would lie for him for pay who, unlike these bozos, aren't completely bananas.

Perhaps Donald is flat broke and needs the job of the presidency to get out of a hole.

Or maybe he's just a skinflint.

The Washington Post's David Fahrenthold thinks he enrolled Donald Jr in the Boy Scouts when he was eleven with funds from the Trump Foundation.
