Trump lies about his foundation’s spending

Posted by | December 28, 2016 10:19 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics

The Tweeter-elect claims his foundation pays zero expenses and donates 100% of its income to charity:

“The DJT Foundation, unlike most foundations, never paid fees, rent, salaries or any expenses. 100% of money goes to wonderful charities!” The foundation admitted to the IRS last year that it engaged in “self-dealing,” a prohibited practice in which a non-profit leader uses an organization’s money to benefit his own interests. Trump used $258,000 from his foundation to settle lawsuits ranging from self-dealing fines to quarrels with the town of Palm Beach, Florida, over the height of a flagpole at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club. The Mar-a-Lago lawsuit was settled in 2007 after Trump agreed to donate $100,000 to the Fisher House Foundation, a charity for veterans. Instead of reaching into his personal funds, Trump settled the lawsuit using his foundation’s money.

      They’re covering Kanye’s latest remarks and digging up more Clinton emails.
      No time for real news….

        A Brothel worker out near Reno, NV had multiple Orgazims Yesterday, and it caused some Earthquakes. Now there’s some real news. LOL :+)

        mike, have you seen/read how pissed off his voters are for meeting with Kayne? i’ve been dying laughing. they don’t care about the fact that he wants a nuclear arms war, how dare he talk to that black dude (not dude in their words). i’m no longer supporting you, i wasted my vote. and i love the “i want to take my vote back.” too bad! live with it.

          They thought he was gonna make America white again.

          • The Original Just Me December 28th, 2016 at 12:25

            He has made Americans White. They Gasp and turn Pale every time He says something.

      damn good question – real journalists should be tearing him a third ahole.

    The article would have been much broader and more encompassing if they would have shortened the Headline to ” Trump Lies”.

    • oldfart December 28th, 2016 at 11:10

      That… Or “Trump Lies Again”.
      pretty much covers it.

      • Larry Schmitt December 28th, 2016 at 11:33

        Or “trump lies still.”

        • whatthe46 December 28th, 2016 at 11:42

          well, just like now he’s saying that it’s my Obama’s fault that his transition is fk’d. um, no. you are. don’t be lying on my President!

        • The Original Just Me December 28th, 2016 at 12:22

          Yea, He probably does lie still and lets the girl do it all. LOL

          • Larry Schmitt December 28th, 2016 at 12:35

            And then she kills herself when she realizes what she has done.

            • The Original Just Me December 28th, 2016 at 12:39

              OR, gets the money off the night stand and says Hi To Mel on the way out. :+)

      • The Original Just Me December 28th, 2016 at 11:41

        Again, yet, Still, some more, Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, At some Future Date, Yup, It’s Trump Time !

        • oldfart December 28th, 2016 at 13:29

          The upcoming headlines will soon be a bad case of Deja’ vu

          • The Original Just Me December 29th, 2016 at 00:00

            forthcoming headlines will definitely be cause for setting your coffee down before clicking onto them.

    • whatthe46 December 28th, 2016 at 11:18

      what makes no sense to me and i can’t for the life of me understand this, which is probably a good thing, because the moment i think i’ve figured out what’s going on in the mind of a mad man, i’m screwed, that is, he KNOWS that everyone has been digging into his businesses and his foundation and that the feds are investigating it, so WHY lie? and it’s not a little like, like i’ve donated 80% and the rest is overhead. it’s 100%. yep, to the tRump supporters that come on here defending him, you’re stupid. this is your guy. never ever speak about Hillary again. you own this massive and epic mess of an embarrassment to this country.

      • The Original Just Me December 28th, 2016 at 12:18

        There is NO understanding Trump. This is a reactionary person and Not a Thoughtful or planning person. It totally depends on which way the wind is blowing to determine how his farts smell. I do like the idea of your not figuring what a man is doing until you’re Scre****. Even I could stand a chance. LOL Have a Good Day. :+)

    • Larry Schmitt December 28th, 2016 at 11:32

      Those words could truthfully (ironically enough) be included in every single story that mentions trump.

      • The Original Just Me December 28th, 2016 at 12:27

        He doesn’t keep track of the lies that he has told so he makes different ones everyday.

        • Larry Schmitt December 28th, 2016 at 12:37

          That’s the problem with being a liar. If you don’t remember which lie you told yesterday, your new like may contradict it. If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember what you said, because it’s the truth.

          • The Original Just Me December 28th, 2016 at 12:42

            I don’t Lie. I just tell it as I Remember it. The trouble is the older I get, the less I have to talk about. :+)

    • Jeanne173 December 28th, 2016 at 12:07

      trump tells the truth would be a six inch banner headline.

      • whatthe46 December 28th, 2016 at 12:13

        i have an uncle like trump. he lies a lot. when i was a kid my mom said if it were sunny and bright outside in the middle of summer, and that boy said there was a massive tidal wave coming down the street, she’d run to see, because you never know when he’s finally going to tell the truth. you have to fact check people like trump at every turn.

      • The Original Just Me December 28th, 2016 at 12:21

        Six Inch, Not with His small Hands. LOL :+)

        • Carla Akins December 28th, 2016 at 12:38

          Nah, only appears to be six inch BECAUSE his tiny hands.

          • The Original Just Me December 28th, 2016 at 12:45

            The reason women can’t estimate measurements is because they have been told this ——————————————————— is eight inches for years. LOL Have a Good one.

      • bpollen December 28th, 2016 at 15:43

        Definitely would be “man bites dog” news…
