Question re: Trump Organization

Is this the so-called non-profit or the golf courses and hotels?

Post Update: This was taken from Wikipedia:

The Trump Organization is the collective name for a group of approximately 500 business entities of which Donald Trump, the current U.S. President, is the sole or principal owner.


Post Update:
Cohen was VP
Weisselberg - CFO

Both have turned on Trump and this is a really big deal.

Cohen served as a vice-president of the Trump Organization and special counsel to Trump,[2] and previously served as co-president of Trump Entertainment and was a board member of the Eric Trump Foundation, a children's health charity. He joined the Trump Organization after having been a partner at Phillips Nizer.[3]

CFO/treasurer of the organization.

Weisselberg stated last year that he didn't even know he was a board member of the foundation.

to be able to understand all the rules when trying to understand all the crap over the past 1 1/2 years. Now I guess I will feel just as ignorant when the news starts going into the moron's business crimes. I suppose I will get a crash course in business now too.

well, his non-profit is for profit as well, but that's another story....

"donald j. trump foundation" is the so-called non-profit.

The FBI definitely has found something.

Maybe America will be gifted with justice after all.
