Trump says he WON'T woo Republican delegates with rides on his 757 and free rooms at Mar-a-Lago – but it wouldn't be against the rules

Donald Trump said he doesn't plan to woo delegates with his luxury clubs and jets in order to ensure additional support at the Republican National Convention.

'Look, nobody has better toys than I do,' he told reporters at a stop on Staten Island yesterday, according to the New York Times.

'You're basically buying these people,' Trump continued. 'You're basically saying 'Delegate, listen, we're going to send you to Mar-a-Lago on a Boeing 757, you're going to use the spa, you're going to this, you're going to that, we want your vote.'

'That's a corrupt system,' Trump added.

It may be 'corrupt' in Trump's mind, but the Washington Post looked into how much delegates could be bought and some legal experts suggested that a campaign could cover an all-expenses-paid trip to meet campaign staff at a luxury resort like Trump's Mar-a-Lago.
