The Trump Foundation: what’s known is shocking. We need to know more
The Post has delivered other revelations. At the end of August, Fahrenthold reported that the Trump Foundation had violated tax laws in 2013 by making a $25,000 political donation to Pam Bondi, the attorney general of Florida. At the time the donation was made, Bondi had been considering whether to launch an investigation of the scandal-plagued Trump University. Democrats accused Trump of having tried to buy off Bondi, but Bondi denied that there was any connection between the campaign donation and her decision not to pursue an investigation. Regardless, charities aren’t allowed to make political donations. Trump’s aides said the payment from the foundation was the result of an administrative error, and that the money was supposed to have come from Trump’s personal account. Earlier this year, the foundation paid a $2,500 penalty to the I.R.S.
The list goes on.
“I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters,” Trump said at a campaign rally here. That is probably true in regards Trumps growing pile of malevolent scandals. His supporters are mostly ‘deportables’ as perncious as Trump. In their weird upside down morality Trump can do no wrong, and Clinton taking a breath, wearing sunglasses, shaking someone’s hand is somehow connected to a vast conspiracy. Someone said once that Conservatism is a mental illness, they might well be on to something.
