No because he's one of the ones who does the owning.

Being owned and paid for by Donald Trump makes Donald Trump an establishment candidate, really no different from Hillary Clinton.

Only if you have a very jaded view of all politicians being on the take and are corrupt because of it. If you realize this is not the case, at least with most and the truth about influence is a lot less than you imagine, then no, Trump's "golden" characteristic doesn't play and his flaws play a greater role.

Perhaps, but Trump is going to have to prove that because he is spending an awful lot of money. He certainly has a lot of supporters who hate the established elite politicians. According to Mother Jones, "Trump's campaign is now fueled by grassroots conservatives, so attracted to a message of sticking it to the money eyed class that they are cutting hundred dollar checks to a billionaire."

There is no doubt that Trump is serious. His New Hampshire campaign headquarters isn't exactly traditional. He hired the Koch brothers campaign manager at a cost of one million dollars. He has more paid staff than any other republican, and his campaign headquarters occupies the entire second floor of an office building overlooking the Merrimack River. He bought the entire building.

Donald trump is not "Owned or paid for" because he is one of the people who OWNS people, and PAYS FOR what he wants - And he has openly admitted that in the past. So though he may not be owned, he wants the same thing that others who do the owning do. He would be horrible for America. But unfortunately so would just about anyone else currently running for president.
