What Woah! Due to conflicts of interest. Yeah right.
The only charity that it will be distributed to is his family. Now that the taxpayers are no longer paying their legal fees...they, the dumpsters need lot's and lot's of dough...
.......................................................................
The Donald J. Trump Foundation, the Trump familys charitable foundation, is shutting down, NBC News reports. The Trump administration previously announced that the foundation would be phased out, to avoid conflicts of interest. Prominent business people have donated to the foundation, including an Ohio shopping mall developer who was previously convicted of bribing a congressman. In the Trump Foundations 2015 tax filings, the foundation admitted that it had transferred money to Donald Trump, who was barred from receiving foundation funding. In a November tax filing, the Trump foundation announced its intention to dissolve and distribute its remaining $970,000 across charities.

(83,833 posts)Coincidence? Roman Abramovich, a wealthy Russian oligarch, cruised his $400 million yacht into the Port of Palm Beach on Friday afternoon. This is just days before President Trump is to be in Palm Beach to spend the Thanksgiving holiday at Mar-a-Lago. Abramovichs net worth at $9.5 billion, the worlds 139th-richest person, with major holdings in steel, nickel and oil companies, as well as Britains Chelsea soccer team. Presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner has met Abramovich one-on-one and with their wives on a number of occasions. No word on whether Abramovich, 51, said to be a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has met President Trump or will spend time with him during the stay.

(51,615 posts)rich, narcissitic, white male privilege. The Moron has been doing it his entire life (even before he was not elected by popular vote). He really thinks he is better than everyone and so do his children and son-in-law. The law does not apply to any of them and that is how they are able to sleep soundly at night. Meanwhile a lot of the country hasn't been able to sleep for over a year.

He has bragged about using OPM (other people's money) for decades now, and has it down to a fine art.
He and Jar-vanka and his sons have been doing it for years too. Even Melania was going to use the WH to make money till threats of a lawsuit stopped her.
Stunning how shameless the entire family is.
