The Trump Foundation is Busted

This is what happens when you hold a $5 Million dollar fundraiser for Veterans in Iowa, then give the money directly to your campaign (which has a Draft Dodger running for President).

You have to close your charity, pay restitution, pay a $2 Million fine, and be banned from live from being on any charity board. Then you call it a witch hunt.

This was his comment (link) "I am the only person I know, perhaps the only person in history, who can give major money to charity ($19M), charge no expense, and be attacked by the political hacks in New York State. No wonder why we are all leaving!" he said. FYI - He donated $0 dollars in the past 2 decades. It was other people's donations to the foundation.

Some of the things the charity purchased with funds designated for the neediest (link).

Boy Scouts. Not a donation, but the $7 fee for his son Donald Jr. (then 11). What kind of cheap-ass does that?

Pam Bondi's Reelection PAC $25,000. As Florida Attorney General - immediately after this "charity donation" (illegally given to a political cause) she dropped Florida's case against Trump University.  You my have heard of her recently. She joined the Trump Impeachment team (on his side).

$157,000 to settle a cheating case where Trump wouldn't pay out a prize after offering it for a hole in one. Martin Greenberg got the hole in one, but had to sue Trump's Bedminster Golf Club to get the money. The money came not from the Bedminster Club, or Donald pockets, but the Trump Charitable Foundation.

The Foundation gave $150,000 to the West Palm Beach Police Foundation - who in turn paid $276,000 to hold an event at Mar-a-lago. Even that $150,000 was directly passed through the Trump Foundation from New Jersey Charles Evan Foundation. When that funding stopped, so did the donations to the West Pam Beach Police.

He has claimed to have donated over $102 Million. But nearly all of it is "in kind" donations. Mainly the land around his golf courses designed to stop any building near by. Rounds of charity golf at his clubs.

But my favorite is a 6 foot tall picture of himself that the "Foundation" purchased at auction. They "Foundation" then hung it in the bar at the Trump Golf Club at Mar-a-lago, but only after the artist repainted his hand to be bigger. You cannot make this shit up (link).
