    You missed the stealing part.

    “All of the public space, that’s all owned by the people of New York,” Cohen added. “But he charges the campaign.”

      The stealing part is using the public space without a permit for it. You have to pay for permits, don’t you? Campaigns also have to pay for the police presence at events l think and I’ll bet he doesn’t pay for that either.

      The Trump campaign paying Trump for the use of a public space is a different kind of violation. He’s paying himself money from the campaign that was donated for use to get him elected. He’s essentially giving himself money from his campaign fund. That’s got to be some sort of FEC violation.
