"SNIP...........
In deep dive by David Fahrenthold of the Washington Post, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump is revealed to be a man who talked a big game about giving to charity however he himself was one of its biggest beneficiaries.
Fahrenhold has been pursuing the Trump Foundation money trail for months as Trump has talked up his philanthropy while providing little in the way of actual information as to who or what groups have received money.
In a report issued Saturday afternoon, The Washington Post is reporting one recipient receiving over a quarter of million dollars in charity funds Trumps Plaza Hotel for the restoration of a fountain out front.
According to interviews with various groups and organizations who have sought donations from Trump, the New York developer was quite happy to show up at charity events only to walk away without leaving a check.

(39,377 posts)He validates their many hatreds and they love him for it. I see no deeper meaning.

(118,734 posts)They get exploited. The rich get richer. The working class lose out. Then they get more desperate and scapegoat. Then more adept manipulators come along and use them again. Gets them to grow down in their humanity.

(39,377 posts)And they don't really care as long as their guy is hurting the people they really hate. There's a certain power to the formula, but not enough; on November 9, the GOP will have lost the PV in six of the last seven presidential elections. You would think something has to give, but I'm not holding my breath.

(15,262 posts)Bad enough that the rich use their businesses to improve their homes, etc., but this is even worse, using a charity so you can take that illegal deduction and then get the money back too.

Fraud, theft of services, tax evasion, racketeering, suspected mafia ties, human trafficking, sexual assault, money laundering...the only things left are child abuse/exploitation (oh wait...that rape of the 13 year old would cover that), prostitution ring, drug dealing (wait...those crazy drug fueled parties with models handed off to his pals covers that) and murder...(where is that missing 12 year old?)
Yeah, Hillary is so crooked for using that private email server.....
Trump is one of the worst crooks imaginable.
