Trump Foundation dissolving

Nah. A dart is not considered a lethal weapon. Besides, unless Trump has eyes in Tragic Monkey's library, no problem.

No, none of the eyes in my library belong to Trump. And I'd certainly not bring him into my basement, in portrait or other form: that's my bedroom! Ugh!

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.

Nobody's brain tells Trump's gut anything.

Well, how about all the "good work" the Trump Foundation did?

Washington Post said:
Donald Trump was in a tuxedo, standing next to his award: a statue of a palm tree, as tall as a toddler. It was 2010, and Trump was being honored by a charity — the Palm Beach Police Foundation — for his “selfless support” of its cause.

His support did not include any of his own money.

Instead, Trump had found a way to give away somebody else’s money and claim the credit for himself.Trump had earlier gone to a charity in New Jersey — the Charles Evans Foundation, named for a deceased businessman — and asked for a donation. Trump said he was raising money for the Palm Beach Police Foundation.

The Evans Foundation said yes. In 2009 and 2010, it gave a total of $150,000 to the Donald J. Trump Foundation, a small charity that the Republican presidential nominee founded in 1987.

Then, Trump’s foundation turned around and made donations to the police group in South Florida. In those years, the Trump Foundation’s gifts totaled $150,000. Trump had effectively turned the Evans Foundation’s gifts into his own gifts, without adding any money of his own.

On the night that he won the Palm Tree Award for his philanthropy, Trump may have actually made money. The gala was held at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, and the police foundation paid to rent the room. It’s unclear how much was paid in 2010, but the police foundation reported in its tax filings that it rented Mar-a-Lago in 2014 for $276,463.

What I find most puzzling is the fact that for someone supposedly worth billions, $150,000 is at most a rounding error.

What I find surprising is that he gave the Evans Foundation's entire $150,000 to the Palm Beach Police Foundation without taking a cut off the top.

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.

Well put. Donnie has an unsurpassed talent for shooting himself in the foot. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

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.

Republickers pretty much always have been like that - at least last 50-60 years!!!!!
