I thought Trump was self funded & wasn't going to be bought?
Now that he's been bought, and the buyers are his financial adviserscwhen he becomes presidents, isn't he part of the corrupt system?

After spending months scolding his rivals for being beholden to their financial backers, Donald Trump unveiled an economic advisory council last week ? and filled it with some of his biggest donors.
Of the 13 men ? and they are all men ? that Trump touted as economic advisers for their ?unparalleled experience and success,? five are major donors whose families combined to give Trump?s campaign and his joint fundraising account with the Republican Party more than $2 million. Two more have been pursued for campaign contributions.
? Andy Beal, a billionaire investor and poker player who contributed $449,400, the largest legal sum that Trump Victory can receive from an individual. Beal also gave $100,000 last summer to a pro-Trump super PAC, the Make America Great Again PAC, which has since ceased its activities. Beal has also been publicly linked with another Trump super PAC, the Great America PAC, but federal records do not yet show that he has donated.
? Tom Barrack, a longtime Trump friend, who gave more than $399,000 to Trump Victory. Barrack, who spoke at the Republican National Convention last month, spent more than $15,000 on in-kind contributions when he hosted Trump?s first big fundraiser in Southern California ? including $4,872 on beverages ? in late May.
