He's lending it--with the option to repay himself later from any donor funds that remain unspent at the end of his campaign.

His children, now grown and gone, have lived with it all their lives. Parodying the Thurber memoir, The Years with Ross, they told their father that he should call his effort The Years with Thurber.
