[Jacque67 7,328]

In the process, Trump's campaign and affiliated committees have continued to spend heavily on T-shirts, bumper stickers and other merchandise, shelling out nearly $4.8 million for such items in the first three months of 2017, federal filings show. The majority of the funds was paid to Louisiana-based Ace Specialties.

Trump's campaign also directed more money to Trump properties this year. In the first quarter, his campaign and a joint fundraising committee spent nearly $500,000 for facility rental and lodging at Trump hotels, rent at the Trump Tower in New York and catering from Trump restaurants, filings show. During the 2016 election, the campaign and the RNC spent more than $14 million on Trump hotels, office rental, airfare, catering and other expenses.

Among expenditures by his campaign committee: more than $28,000 on Jan. 25 to Bannon Strategic Advisors, the firm of his chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon, for “administrative assistant/secretarial” services.
