trump-crooked as ever. President Trump must pay $2 million for running crooked Trump Foundation, judge says charity transferred money for veterans to his campaignPresident Trump must personally pay $2 million because his Trump Foundation charity was a huge scam that misused money donated to veterans, a judge ordered Thursday. Trump agreed to dissolve the foundation in December as part of a deal with State Attorney General Letitia James, who alleged the charity was used as an arm of his Presidential campaign and a personal piggy bank for the Trump family. Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Saliann Scarpulla was left to determine what penalty should be imposed on Trump personally for his misuse of the charity. She focused on a Jan. 2016 fundraiser that Trump promoted as an event supporting veterans. But $2.8 million raised at the event was actually given to the campaign. Trump and his campaign eventually gave that amount to veterans’ charities as questions mounted about the fundraiser. “Mr. Trump’s fiduciary duty breaches included allowing his campaign to orchestrate the fundraiser, allowing his campaign, instead of the Foundation, to direct distribution of the funds, and using the fundraiser and distribution of the funds to further Mr. Trump’s political campaign,” Scarpulla wrote.

He'll probably pay the 2 million from his campaign money, which people have donated to. He never, ever, EVER, spends his own money. Even Baron's $7 Boy Scouts fee was paid for by his "charitable foundation". You don't expect him to cough up his OWN money, do you? Not even 7 bucks.

I am 100% certain that Justice Saliann is an unhinged, raging liberal tool of the Deep Net and is also so plain Trump would never 'do' her, and this will be confirmed by multiple tweets, if it hasn't already.
I hope at least this causes some Trumpette veterans to question just how dedicated Trump is to them. Trump's great for big words and grand military parades but when he has to pick his bottom line or the vets, guess which wins.

"But he's working without pay, so what does it matter if he gets a little cash on the side?"
Not understanding that he pays himself back for his paltry salary with just three months of charging the secret service for golf carts and hotel rooms at his resort.

I've been told that is fake news. The main stream media makes it up. |

trump kept his word. He promised, if elected, he would stop playing golf because there was too much work to do as president.  |

And he'd release his taxes.
And divest from his business.
