well no, I actually know how charities work and what charity law says, since that is what I do in RL. Nothing that the Trump charity did, as reported in various lenghty articles, all of which I read, was illegal or out of the norm of what a "typical" charity does. Most of the bad press came from obviously anti-Trump journalists who had no clue how charities work or what is "legal" or were trying to put the worst possible spin on it.


The New York lawsuit is just the latest political stunt.

In the case of the Trump Foundation investigations, if Trump did the crime, he will do the time...
no, not even close. The worst you may see is a fine which to Trump will be the equivalent of a parking ticket.
