I think donations have to be tracked and are only allowed for certain purposes. Like RNC donations and campaign donations can possibly pay his legal fees, but can't pay his fines. PAC donations, I'm not sure about. Some asshole set up a GoFundMe that can pay his fines.
But since the board of this company is stacked with his flunkies, money funneled into it can go straight to his pocket, to do whatever he wants with. Russia or Saudi Arabia buys a billion dollars worth of stock, pushing the price up, then the company issues a ton of shares to raise money. Then they issue a special dividend to certain shareholders, or one in particular. I'm guessing they have plenty of lawyers to keep everything inside the law.
