In reply to the discussion: Trump illegally diverted $7 from his foundation to pay his son's Boy Scouts registration fee. [View all]Ilsa
(63,775 posts)23. I wonder who legitimately contributed to this foundation,
thinking the money was going to good causes? They must feel like suckers.
And others contributed for the tax write-off, with the understanding that the money would go to the trump organization to pay the contributor's indebtedness to trump. Trump could then write off the bad debt and never claim the payment as income. Totally slimy.
Yesterday they said Barron's tuition to his private school was paid out of the Foundation's accounts.

I've long had the feeling that tRump's so-called wealth was a lot of smoke and mirrors.
