So the POTUS is banned from being a board member of any charity organisation in N.Y! ????

Yes, but then the Trump Library (555) would have to be in Hoboken, or Moscow.

My guess is the Donald Trump will still be able to pick the charities (real charities this time) which will receive the distributed funds.  

Nope, he can do nothing but wait for an indictment.

This isn’t the only time Trump has been accused of shady charity activity,  "the New York State Attorney General brought suit against the Trump family and the Trump foundation, and these are serious violations."

UNDER CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION:

???? TRUMP
???? TRUMP Jr.
???? TRUMP Organization
???? TRUMP Foundation
???? TRUMP Campaign
???? TRUMP NatSec Advisory Committee
???? TRUMP Shadow NatSec Advisors
???? TRUMP Transition
???? TRUMP Inaugural Committee
???? TRUMP Administration
???? TRUMP Allies (e.g., MBS, Russia)

 

<------->

 

In the time before Trump a POTUS had to be reliable and honest, at least.

 

Since 2016 The USA has changed fundamentally. Someone with the „quality" of a liar, extremist, moron, an endless insulter, inhumane charcter (the list goes on) has had a chance to sit in the White House..

 

The subject of this thread is only one example of of Trump's criminal behavior. In many, many other countries he would have spent a lot of his time behind bars. Nowadays it seems to be a qualification for the election of a Potus.

 

That the REP's supported him, not very surprising. But that the third power in every (real) democracy does not have the laws or the force/power to put him where he belongs to, that's annoying and a shame for the US political system.

I remember reading that the Foundation paid for some giant painting of him that was in Mar la Go.   If they confiscate it, I wonder what it's worth...or who would buy it?

 

Who would buy it?

C'mon dude, we all know the answer.

Why, The Man himself would.

He loves pics of himself everywhere.

Remember the framed false Times cover pic?

Not only is This Man rather a sicko, but a real weirdo to boot.

Smallest donation: $7 gift to the Boy Scouts in 1989 (rumored to be DJTJ's annual Boy Scout dues, although I doubt Jr. was in the Boy Scouts).

 

DJTJ's service was deferred - bone spurs don't you know.

 

He so wanted to serve, but was unable...

DJTJ is Donald J. Trump Jr. I doubt he wanted to serve in the military.

 

He's the clown on the left...

Other challenged expenses included $100,000 to settle a dispute involving Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort

This particular transfer was directed by Trump in a handwritten note.

Yes, I agree. I was making (attempting) an ironic comment on the suggestion that the charity was used to pay "Junior's" Boy Scout subscriptions, but that he never "served".

 

A sort of family tradition...

I am confused, not one post from a Trump defender?! Thought they could spin every fact.

Sounds like he ran the charity like he ran his failed businesses like he’s running his failing country.

 

Trump has a long, public history of a string of business failures where he either defaulted on loans or left investors holding the bag—from steaks to board games to airlines and casinos.

 

Yet tens of millions of adult, supposedly mature Americans thought he would make an honest, effective president rather than an experienced, accomplished life-long public servant, who had released 30 years of tax returns, a former accomplished lawyer, former First Lady of Arkansas, former FLOTUS, former senator and former Sec of State who had survived decades of exhaustive, partisan investigations that found nothing even remotely close to the criminality and double dealing that a short investigation of Trump and his minions have found.

 

Yet the fact that nothing criminal has been turned up on Hillary despite all the investigations is, to her detractors, just further proof of her nefariousness at “getting away with it” (with *what* fercrissake?). Meanwhile Trump’s obvious buffoonery, proven repeated criminality, blatant lying and clearly-displayed ignorance on a host of issues is seen by his cultish followers as some brilliant eleventieth level chess-playing.

 

These people will vote again in future elections. God help us.

The end is near. Time for them to jump ship and change their story. Just as Trump would do. ("That Trump, he was just somebody I might have heard of some time, he was a nothing in the movement. He is a sleazebag, a rat.....)

I am starting to believe he might actually go to prison, but he won't be impeached.

Did somebody say prison?

I find it disgusting that he's being given a free pass on this. Dissolve the 'charity'? That's it? Where are the indictments for the criminality involved? Pisses me off. President Little Hands Grifter needs to be behind bars with his entire family.

It is an ongoing investigation, as well as tax investigations regarding his entire family and all business in New York State

So, it's really New York State's attorney general that is actually draining the swamp?

 

Oops, so are other prosecutors as well. 

Yup, and it looks like the NY AG will be pursuing criminal charges against Trump and family for this probable slush fund as well:

Just to make the whole process of dispersing whatever is left of the foundation, I think they should just give it all to the Clinton Foundation.   That should get press coverage.

Well if Tucker, Jeanine, Lou, Sean, Laura aren't coming up with "talking points" then we can't expect trump defenders here to chime in now can we?
