Wrong.
All celebrities are legally allowed to write off PR hush money, and do it all the time.
It is a legitimate business expense since the point of his campaign was to gain about a half million dollar income as president.
Its an investment, NOT a campaign gift.
#1 There are three different entities involved, each is separate: Trump (the individual), Trump Organization (a business entity), and a campaign.
You just solidified that Trump in fact DID pay for the NDA not for personal reasons, but in support of the campaign. Something Trump supporters vehemently deny.

#2 Boinking a porn star while on vacation in Las Vegas attending a golf tournament is not a legitimate business expense for the Trump Organization. Now the Trump Organization could have paid for the NDA without legal jeopardy by entering it in the ledger for what it was a non-business, non-tax deductible charge. Again, not legal problems. But instead the scheme was to invoice it as "Attorney Fees" (tax deductible) instead of as a non-tax deductible expense.
