This is despicable.
Judge orders Trump to pay $2M for charity foundation misuse.
A New York judge on Thursday ordered President Donald Trump to pay $2 million to an array of charities to resolve a lawsuit alleging he misused his own charitable foundation to further his political and business interests.
Judge Saliann Scarpulla said Trump breached his fiduciary duty to the Trump Foundation by allowing his campaign staff to plan a fundraiser for veterans’ charities in the run-up to the 2016 Iowa caucuses.
The event, which passed money through Trump’s non-profit, was designed “to further Mr. Trump’s political campaign,” Scarpulla said.
I’m normally a pro-Trump cheer leader. Not on this one. Not today. This is so obviously wrong that there is no excuse for it.
But the headline is a little misleading. The $2 million is a disbursement of charity funds. The actual misuse of funds amounted to a little over $10,000. Still.

Speaking of billionaires or in trumps case wannabe billionaires. AOC has pointed out the crying billionaires on cnbc now want a safe place. Tom steyer has been caught bribing politicians in Iowa to fix caucus for him and bloomberg say he will pay off the national democratic partys debt if they let him in on the debate! What ever happened to daddy warbucks $$$ howard schultz?
Trump himself is never the issue. What he does or does not do is not the issue. The one and only issue is his opposition. You need to get that through your head and keep it front and center at all times.
Trump is fighting the monsters who will eat us. That is the only thing that matters.
sykes that is the same argument people used to defend nazi germany that they were defending against communist russia.
Trump wants to go to moscow to celebrate may day. There is hope for him yet!
