Donald Trump rants on Twitter over Trump Foundation donations, misspells another word
Donald Trump attempted to defend his charity donations to his own foundation, but once again got caught up without spell check.
Over the year and a half that #Donald Trump campaigned for president, he continued to keep his tax returns private. Trump became the first presidential candidate to win an election without revealing his financial status, which includes his charitable givings and donations.
Trump Foundation
The #Donald J. Trump Foundation is the president-elect's private charity which was created nearly 30 years ago back in 1988. During the campaign, information was slowly leaked about the controversy surrounding the foundation, which includes, but is not limited to, violating IRS tax laws. Since Trump's election win, many wondered what the future would be for the foundation, as it appeared to present a conflict of interest for the new president. Earlier this week, Trump announced that he was planning on closing down the foundation, but took to his offical #Twitter account on December 26 to voice his frustration.

(50,557 posts)He lived in Goldsboro, NC, and one of my clients was doing all his marketing materials. He had set up a system where, for "management fees" of 25 percent of your foundation's new assets, he would create an "IRS-registered charitable foundation" in your name. The idea was, you signed over all the money you earned to the foundation so it would be exempt from federal and state taxes, and then you would use foundation monies to pay your ordinary and necessary personal expenses.
He was also selling another product called the Tangible Asset Savings Account (TASA). This was a good one, easy to understand, and almost legitimate. He would sell you Silver Eagle coins - which are one-ounce silver bullion coins produced by the US mint, and completely legitimate as an investment vehicle - for $15 apiece. You would put these coins in a safety deposit box at a bank, and that was your TASA. The "interest" from the account came from their appreciation. The only little problem anyone could have possibly had with the whole scheme, is that when he was running around promoting the benefits of buying Silver Eagles from him for $15 you could buy Silver Eagles from coin dealers for $8.
He should be finishing up the 20 years he got in FCI Butner for conspiracy to evade federal income taxes by the 2020 election.
