Title: Trump Foundation to Shut Down
Post by: finehoe on December 28, 2016, 10:57:51 AM
Turns out the Trump Foundation is a clusterfuck of illegal contributions and other unlawful acts (at least one of which Trump has admitted) and Donald Trump didn't donate a penny to his own foundation from 2009-2014. It's being investigated by New York's attorney general and will no doubt cost Trump a lot of money.

$25,000 donated to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi (R) who was then investigating possible charges against Trump university. Guess what!!!!! She declined to prosecute. I wonder why she did that?

Quick......someone say "Clinton Foundation" and then say they care about stuff like this.

Misuse of the foundation tax free status goes beyond Clinton and Trump. Even Howard Hughes oil company was a foundation for crying out loud.

Susan Komen's foundation transitioned from an honorable cancer gig to a fund raising racket to prop up executive salaries.

There are still honorable foundations out there.

Yeah big deal. Trump's phony foundation shuts down. This doesn't solve any of the real issues of a Trump presidency.
