Trump Foundation dissolving

While it doesn't compare to the attack on our democracy that the Trump administration conducts, the agreement to dissolve the Trump charity and the detailing of
a shocking pattern of illegality involving the Trump Foundation -- including unlawful coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated and willful self-dealing, and much more. This amounted to the Trump Foundation functioning as little more than a checkbook to serve Mr. Trump's business and political interests

(quoting NY AG Underwood) is just one more example of our president's contempt for the rule of law (along with violating the emolument clause, campaign finance laws, commenting on ongoing investigations and influencing the witnesses thereof, etc.).

Remember, the POTUS is the chief law enforcement official of the USA. It's horrible that the POTUS should display the contempt for the rule of law the the current POTUS does.

Yes, but the most horrible thing is that he holds this kind of contempt for the rule of law and still has so much support among the electorate. And the Republican party.
 
The smallest payout from the charity, $7, may very well have been a payment to the Boy Scouts to enroll his son, Baron, and would have been an illegal use of charitable funds.

Is there any petty crime this family won't commit?

Just to nitpick...

The $7 payment was done in 1989, before Baron was born. However, Donald Trump Jr. would have been around 11 at the time, so if the money was used to register someone, he would have been it.

ETA: The largest donation was to restore a public fountain. Which just happened to be outside of one of Trump's properties.

So you will have a POTUS that because of his misfeasance is not allowed to run a charity in New York... It is quite unbelievable.
 
The great ironies of ironies.

Trump, the serial failure and king of bankruptcies, manages to succeed in his most ambitious project yet and becomes president. By accomplishing this incredible task, which many of the best and brightest in this country have failed to do, he absolutely ruins himself and his entire criminal organization by drawing intense scrutiny to his myriad criminal activities both before and during his presidency.

If only his criminal organization was the only thing he was ruining.
 
So when Trump attacked the Clinton Foundation by calling it a "criminal enterprise", he was actually talking about his own?

I've long said that I think Trump and his family have come to rue the day he came came down that escalator in Trump Tower.

Tiffany must bless the day she didn't become involved in Daddy's businesses.

Even if it were true about the Clinton Foundation being a cesspit of criminality, it just proves the Clinton is superior to Trump.

For all the incessant investigations and hearings into Clinton by the lunatic right, nothing has stuck.

The bloated corpse that is the Trump Organization gets one sideways glance, and a deluge of evidence comes spilling out onto the pavement. Evidence of crimes is stacking faster than can be investigated.

Well, Donny and Bill were bosom golf buddies for 20 years afterall....

But obviously Donny Boy was too busy chasing the beer-cart girl down the fairway, and thus, missed Bill's explaining to him all about how to run a criminal enterprise and not get caught.

People generally don't appear to want the best and the brightest. They generally want people who say stuff they like.
