New WaPo: Trump foundation gives away other people's money while Donnie claims the credit.
David Farenthold at the Washington Post:

The Donald J. Trump Foundation is not like other charities. An investigation of the foundation — including examinations of 17 years of tax filings and interviews with more than 200 individuals or groups listed as donors or beneficiaries — found that it collects and spends money in a very unusual manner.

For one thing, nearly all of its money comes from people other than Trump. In tax records, the last gift from Trump was in 2008. Since then, all of the donations have been other people’s money — an arrangement that experts say is almost unheard of for a family foundation.

Trump then takes that money and generally does with it as he pleases. In many cases, he passes it on to other charities, which often are under the impression that it is Trump’s own money.

In two cases, he has used money from his charity to buy himself a gift. In one of those cases — not previously reported — Trump spent $20,000 of money earmarked for charitable purposes to buy a six-foot-tall painting of himself.


Bigly!

Cheers,
Scott.

New what?he gives away other peoples money, is that not what the clinton FAMILY foundation does?
sure they donated a lot more than donnie but the bulk is from other people so donnie will have to step it up?
Or do you imply a direct hit piece needs to be left uncommented?
always look out for number one and don't step in number two
New Yeah, Hillary's always worse. We get it. ;-p
New in this case much better at it
always look out for number one and don't step in number two
New Address Trump, not Clinton, or start a new thread to whine about Clinton.
Ignoring Trump's iffy business but wailing and gnashing your teeth about something Clinton may or may not have done is just whataboutery.
New You're not helping yourself here.
Everything isn't an equivalence between the two assholes. Both are poor candidates and neither should be a contender in a reasonable system. The Clintons are old school professional politicians; they are scarred by decades of grubbing for money, favors, and votes. They are scarred by decades of demonizing and persecution, probably because they're better at it than the opposition. They cross the t's and dot the i's and they are never quite criminals. Hillary can hoover up orders of magnitude more money than I made in several decades as an engineer in several years without any product to show. But it can't be PROVEN that she broke the law. She knows how to play the game. I think she is totally untrustworthy, damaged goods, and should never have a role in government again. That's my opinion but I have no voice in the matter so it's worthless. Trump, on the other paw, is a carnival barker with no redeeming qualities. He doesn't know the game and he's too narcissistic to learn. There is NO equivalence between the two entities. Criticize Hillary on her myriad faults to your hearts content, but leave Trump out of it. When you bring Trump in, you elevate him to an unsupportable level.
And it's boring.
