No he doesn't and he didn't, at least not in the same sense that he attacks his opponents for it. He brags about about buying influence and making other politicians his pawns/cronies. He claims that since he doesn't need to take other people's money, he's not a pawn like the people he pays. It's been a central part of his message from the beginning.

FWIW, Crony is usually used to describe a friend of someone rich or powerful who benefits from the relationship, not the rich and/or powerful people themselves.

Edit:

The interesting thing about this is, if he is still buying politicians, that he might have an inordinate amount of power as POTUS, which is something that should concern people.
