NY State Dissolves Trump Foundation Due to "Shocking Pattern of Illegality"

In any other timeline, this would be the biggest political story in years. The NY AG basically is essentially calling the president and his immediate family criminals. And their investigation will continue.

Of course, some will be fine with all this because they're doing well personally.

Donald Trump stole $7 from his charity to cover the Boy Scouts admission fee for his son.

This is hardly the most egregious abuse of money from his foundation, but I just feel like it perfectly captures the utter pettiness of this family.

Wow. It's the entitlement mentality turned on its head. If someone steals $70M (Ponzi scheme wealth manager, et.al.), I can at least understand the reason for it. The guy's a thief and is evil or gave in to temptation or whatever. But, for a "billionaire" to steal $7 - and petty is the perfect description - just makes one a thief and an a-hole. Totally no reason for it. Just an entitled, petty a-hole.

Maybe we’ll hear from all the “doing so well” Trumpers again around, oh, maybe 2020.....

is this the place where I mention that the State of New York feels that the people running this country are unfit to run a charity?

The more disgusting his behavior and scams, the better his base likes him. They truly are in a "burn it all down" mode.

And not a one of them understands that, “when it all burns down”, they won’t be doing too well.
Then again, foresight was never one of their strong suits; neither was hindsight.

One of the more extreme lib websites points out that the Trump Foundation being forced to sell off it's assets (a couple of portraits of Trump and an autographed Tim Tebow football helmet) is the first step in seeing all of Trump's ill-gotten gains seized and sold off. (Including real estate bought with laundered Russian money.)

Which promoted this thought: If Trump found himself in a situation where he had to choose between his keeping his wealth and keeping his kids out of jail...
