You link and believe the NY Times?

Do you have any idea of what liars they are?

The NY AG lost! Let’s emphasize that in ALL CAPS:

THE NEW Y0RK AG L0ST!

It’s explained below.

But the liar media always plays up a loss into a win for them, always. Except they are losing viewers, readers, subscribers and $$$. It’s a war of attrition and they are losing.

But the lefty base is led to believe this Foundation was shut down amid ‘massive illegalities’.

Bullcrap.

The Trump Foundation tried to shutter itself in 2016 to avoid conflicts of interest but the State AG would not let them.

Let’s emphasize that in ALL CAPS:

THE NY STATE AG WOULD NOT LET THE TRUMP FOUNDATI0N DISSOLVE IN 2016!

***2016***!

But now they agreed in December 2018 to allow the Foundation to dissolve as they lost their battle and are letting Donald Trump do what he wanted to do all along.

Why did they lose? Because they wanted to investigate and snoop around for illegalities. They found nothing that had not been declared already to the IRS and corrected. And what was found was chickensh*t.

For example:

In 2015, Donald Trump donated $50,000 to his son Barron’s school and acknowledged it was a mistake to use the Trump Foundation for that, and then he reversed it and corrected it, all declaring candidly for the IRS. Because even though the donation was for a school, the fact that Barron was attending meant somehow Barron would benefit from the donation. That’s crap but a rule is a rule and Donald Trump’s accountants reversed it, corrected it, and declared it to the IRS.

BFD!

Want to hear more about these ‘massive illegalities’?

Donald Trump had his Foundation buy his portrait for $10,000.

Whoopti-fricken-doo!

“This was improper self-dealing, since foundation money was used to buy a painting to decorate a Trump business property,” argued the attorney general’s office in the court filing. (According to the foundation’s lawyer, a hotel employee mistakenly hung the artwork after discovering it in a storage room, and it was returned to the foundation after the election along with a $185.82 rental payment, plus interest.)

Oh what a Hitler this Trump guy is! Some employee found it in a storeroom and hung it where it shouldn’t have been hung!

Grounds for impeachment! Doncha think?

You want to see more against the NY Times peculiar flavor of bullsh*t?

Here you go:

*******************
The move fulfills a promise Trump made last December (2016), when he said he would wind down the Donald J. Trump Foundation to avoid conflicts of interest. New York’s attorney general ordered the foundation to stop soliciting contributions in October 2016.

“The foundation announced its intent to dissolve and is seeking approval to distribute its remaining funds” to other charities, according to its 2016 Internal Revenue Service filing, filed this month and uploaded to the website of the nonprofit information source Guidestar.org by the foundation.

At the end of 2016, the foundation had assets of about $970,000, the document shows.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the foundation confirmed that it is being shuttered. “The Foundation continues to cooperate with the New York Attorney General’s Charities Division, and as previously announced by the President, his advisers are working with the Charities Division to wind up the affairs of the Foundation. The Foundation looks forward to distributing its remaining assets at the earliest possible time to aid numerous worthy charitable organizations.”

The attorney general’s press secretary, Amy Spitalnick, said the foundation can’t close just yet, however. “As the foundation is still under investigation by this office, it cannot legally dissolve until that investigation is complete,” said Spitalnick.

*****************

COULDN’T FRICKIN DISSOLVE IN 2016!

Can’t shutter to avoid an appearance of a conflict of interest because the NY State AG which is leftist to its core needed to find some crap to hang Trump with. AND THEY FOUND NOTHING!

Don’t ever quote the NY Times, don’t ever believe a word they write about politics! They are part of the Democrat arm of propaganda.

If anyone believes the NY Times for politics, SHAME ON THEM!

“Barron Trump IQ score is estimated at 146, which is considered as a genius and in top 0.1% of the population in the world.”

https://www.iq-test.net/what-isbarron-iq-score-pms93.html

The Trump family are all incredibly smart. Eric especially.

Not only are they very smart, but they were also made to work very hard to gain knowledge through experience.

For example, Don Jr. can operate an excavator and fix it mechanically, and the next day he attends a meeting of high finances.

The whole family has a work ethic that is off the scale high. This was handed down by the Grandfather Fred Trump who was one of the hardest working developers ever.

No slackers in that family.

When an experienced blue-collar trades pro like an electrician or plumber talks to Don Jr. or Eric, they learn things, they know the family is the real deal. They are not phonies, they are blue-collar billionaires with high educations. And they never talk down to anyone that earns an honest living or has had a round of bad luck.

I love this family. They set the standard,

This article is a piece of sh*t.

Hostage, slow down and breath. You questioned that the Trump Foundation had been shut down and asked for a link. There is no question about that aspect of the story. Deep breaths, lower case.

My original point was that when you are a billionaire with huge, complex international business and financial transactions, it’s easy for the DOJ to find a way to indict you, or your children, over financial matters. While the veracity of “Cockburns” story is questionable, the possibility is there. “Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime”.

Yes, but you made the statement the Trump Foundation was forced to dissolve because of improprieties. And you were asked to provide the background on that and you went to source the lying NY Times,

That’s crap.

You don’t have to be a global complex business network to be vulnerable to finding infractions by the IRS or a legal investigation.

You can be an average Joe and still suffer hits.

What makes the Trump family susceptible to leftist crap is the fact that Daddy decided to run for President, for real this time. And he beat a sociopath with a vagina.

In case you are capable of learning which is the same as not being an idiot, this article is a complete piece of sh*t that is roping in some Freepers who are still new to the power game, which is why I post facts with an edge.

She has already been indicted on several counts of ugly and questionable parentage. Hillary is the co-conspirator, which makes Chelsea untouchable.

I don’t think Baron is under any sort of investigation or suspicion. And as I understand it, he is already fluent in three languages himself. But multiple languages are the norm in much of Europe.

You tell me the first time Ivanka utters something original or insightful.

Speculative but would come as no surprise Mueller indicts based on issues that had nothing to do with Mueller`s original mandate.
Rosenstein didn’t define Mueller’s mandate; it is open-ended. Classic fishing expedition.

Outrageous in every respect.

Never said I liked Barr - just noted you jumped to a heck of a conclusion based on double-hearsay...lots of fatalists here these days.
