oopsies Well, that escalated quickly! Immediately following last week's announcement that Donald J. Trump's "charitable foundation," the "Donald J. Trump Foundation," didn't have the proper certification to solicit contributions in New York, the New York Attorney General's Office ordered the Trump Foundation to
David Corn has a good description for this phenomenon. I'll have to paraphrase: Throw one plate of spaghetti against a wall and it looks like a terrible mess. Throw ten plates of spaghetti against the same wall and they all just meld together and one doesn't get distinguished from the other.
Trump might be paying the piper on this FINALLY, but it's not the only thing he got a pass on from New York for decades. He and his brand were aided and abetted by the Giuliani and Bloomberg administrations because his "style" made NYC look glitzy and attractive to all the Middle Eastern- and Euro-trash who threw around so much cash there.
This one pisses me right the hell off. I run a small public charity for kids with a rare, incurable genetic disease that causes birth defects and consigns them to repeated lung infections until they either get a transplant or die. Rather than commission paintings of ourselves to help them, we support research on their disease and created a network of expert centers--so, you know, real verifiable things--with our under $500,000 annual budget. We need to spend a god-awfully large percentage of that meager budget complying with all the idiotic filing requirements of every idiotic state we solicit funds in. Literally, these fucking states make this so hard on small public charities we have to hire staff to manage their fucking ridiculous paperwork requirements--for a small charity that brings in less than $500,000 a year in donations.
We are always getting notices and nasty grams about some bleeding 'i' that didn't get dotted or fucking 't' that needs to be crossed. New York is about the worst. So they have people working full time on harassing small, legitimate public charities, but no one could be bothered to notice that a family foundation was taking in millions in publicly donated money? The NY AG may be irritated with Trump, but I am equally irritated with him. They treat legit public charities like criminals that need constant supervision in order to protect delicate NY citizens from being taken advantage of with their $20 and $25 donations to real charities, but no one from the charities division of the AGs office (which must be pretty well staffed if the moronic minutiae they foist on us is any indication) thought it might be important to protect public donors from this?
Just another way the rules for the rich--about the only ones who can actually afford family foundations--are different than the rules for the rest of us.
It will be ordered to give it back. The AG is saying "Apply for the license and file all the back paperwork in 15 days (unpossible), or you have to give back all the donations. If you do neither, we're charging you with fraud." It's pretty serious.
Might even get Dino's old room!

In a boom economy.
Yeah, that's genius...

We oldz find that very funny.
If it wasn't for Jared Kushner, we'd probably be hearing things like that daily.

By the people, not by the Giuliani and Bloomberg administrations.
Assuming that he can actually play, with those itsy-bitsy hands his chord selection would be severely limited.

We would have a field day watching DT try to find assets that he could turn into cash to return. His empire is a house of IOU cards.

You're correct - nothing existed before the Big Bang! Two points to cousin itt!
You've started back doing the things you used to do!
But it's not like NY is the only state he's been operating in. He doesn't have even family credentials anywhere else.
