Fugelsang takes on illiterate Trump

[jodymarie aimee]

Donald J. Trump
I gave millions of dollars to DJT Foundation, raised or recieved millions more, ALL of which is given to charity, and media won't report!

They also don't report that you can't spell "received" so maybe call this one even..FUGELSANG.

1. Waah, media won't repeat my lies, waah.

They go with the truth instead of the fake news Hair Furor spews.

2. Need a list of the "charities" he donates to.

I have never seen a list. I do not believe he has ever donated to any reputable charity. He may have promised to, but I doubt he ever followed through.

7. The Trump Foundation. All the rest are FAKE CHARITIES!!!11! nt

12. It's a scam because they charge charities to use his properties & then claim deductions.

[Motley13]

3. His charity buys portraits of him to display at some of his properties

lying sack of shit

[procon]

4. Trump used his nonprofit as a scam to enrich himself, and that was indeed reported.

Charity Navigator has issued a Donor Advisory of High Concern on the Donald J. Trump Foundation which has been under scrutiny for months. The IRS found it was engaged in 'self-dealing' and New York attorney general’s office announced it is investigating Trump's nonprofit and also issued a cease and desist order. Last year, Trump said plans to shut down his charitable foundation.

5. if DT released his tax forms

the media then would report it

[mreilly]

6. if the fucker would release his tax returns...

.... he could prove his bullshit statement.

But he lied and he and his shitbag sons actually rip charities off rather than contribute to him, of course he's whining about fake news as he's hurling tons of his own.

[NastyRiffraff]

8. He probably thinks however he spells it

it's correct because Trump spells it that way.

[NewJeffCT]

9. wasn't the Trump Foundation shut down

as a fraud?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. A+

[Cha]

17. Thanks for that, Bernardo!

[DemoTex]

10. Eye before Eee, except after Cee ..

Dotard!

[leanforward]

11. He's suffering from the onset of Parkinson's/dementia

I hope I've not offended anyone. But, I'm concerned about his thin skinned reactions to perceived slights and the impact his reactions can have on the majority of voters who did not vote for a paruskey backed business man. His past business history does not bode well for his current performance.

14. I was under the impression Trump Foundation was a tax evasion scam

As in, if you owe money to Trump you can pay it to his foundation, then take it as a charitable contribution on your taxes.

16. Indeed. Recall where he used charity funds to buy an autographed Tim Tebow helmet...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/07/01/donald-trump-used-money-donated-for-charity-to-buy-himself-a-tim-tebow-signed-football-helmet/?utm_term=.bc22bf8dc409

Did Donald Trump violate IRS rules, by using a charity's money to buy himself a signed football helmet?

Four years ago, at a charity fundraiser in Palm Beach, Donald Trump got into a bidding war at the evening's live auction. The items up for sale: A Denver Broncos helmet, autographed by then-star quarterback Tim Tebow, and a Tebow jersey.

Trump won, eventually, with a bid of $12,000. Afterward, he posed with the helmet. His purchase made gossip-column news: a flourish of generosity, by a mogul with money to burn. "The Donald giveth, and The Donald payeth," wrote the Palm Beach Daily News. "Blessed be the name of The Donald."

But Trump didn't actually pay with his own money.

Instead, the Susan G. Komen organization — the breast-cancer nonprofit that hosted the party — got a $12,000 payment from another nonprofit , the Donald J. Trump Foundation.

Trump himself sent no money. (In fact, a Komen spokeswoman said, Trump has never given a personal gift of cash to the Komen organization.) He paid the bill with money from a charity he founded in 1987, but which is largely stocked with other people's money. Trump is the foundation's president. But, at the time of the auction, Trump had given none of his own money to the foundation for three years running.
