I think this should read "Trump has spent $10.7 million of taxpayer money at his own businesses".

But if I start a job at a big company and funnel money into my own pocket I get in trouble? Not fair.

one could even add “in one month alone”

"Trump on track to funnel 500 million dollars of tax payers money into his properties, by the end of his second term"

Not all of that money is spent on his businesses so that headline would be incorrect. Still is really pretty unethical.
