New York Fines Trump $2 Million for Helping Veterans Charity
by Matt Palumbo Posted: November 7, 2019
ANew York judge has ruled that President Donald Trump must pay a $2 million judgement for improperly using his Trump Foundation to advance his 2016 presidential campaign – but in reality, Trump is being punished for a technicality.Advertisement
That’s in contrast to how liberals are trying to portray the event. As CNN put it in their reporting: “The order and settlement bring an end to questions that first arose during the 2016 campaign about whether Trump used money raised under the guise of charitable work for political gain. The resolution puts the President in the unusual position of having to pay millions in damages while in office, at a time when he faces a large number of other personal legal battles. Filed in June 2018, the lawsuit alleged that the President and his three eldest children — Don Jr., Ivanka and Eric — violated federal and state campaign finance laws and abused the Donald J. Trump Foundation’s tax-exempt status. According to the lawsuit, the Trumps allowed the foundation to be used ‘as little more than a checkbook to serve Mr. Trump’s business and political interests.’”
In reality, this lawsuit was setoff by the following series of events
- Ahead of the 2016 Iowa caucus, candidate Trump held a fundraiser. The fundraiser raised $2.8 million, which was all given to veterans charities.
- The funds were raised through the Trump Foundation, but campaign staff managed the fundraiser and distributed the funds to charities.
- Liberals decided that these funds counted as campaign contributions (zero percent of which went to the Trump campaign), and a judge agreed helped “further Mr. Trump’s political campaign.”
One hundred percent of the money raised went to charity, and the Trump campaigned covered the entire cost of administering distribution of the funds. But because giving millions of dollars to veterans tends to be good PR for a presidential candidate, a judge decided that this helped further the Trump campaign.
So for his efforts to help veterans, Trump was rewarded with a $2 million fine and the billionth bogus media narrative to plague his presidency.

New York needs to be cleaned up because of the mafia element called Bill de Blasio, AOC, and Governor Como. Any vote for a Democrat always ends up as a detriment for the people as you can see. These three Democrats were raised in the gutter and will die in the gutter of life.

THE PROBLEM IN THIS COUNTRY IS TOO MUCH DIVERSITY AND FAR TOO MUCH TOLERANCE. YES, THERE ARE NOT JUST SOME THAT WILL DIE IN THE GUTTER, THERE ARE MANY, FOR THEY ARE THE GUTTER THAT CREATES THE GUTTER. THE PROBLEM IS THAT NONE OF US ARE ON THE SAME PAGE, WE HAVE THE STUPID NOTION THAT THE US CONSTITUTION ALLOWS US TO DO AS WE DAMNED WELL PLEASE. THIS IS NOT THE CASE AT ALL. WE CAN NOT LIVE A LIFE STYLE THAT DESTROYS THE CHARACTER OF THIS COUNTRY. FOR EXAMPLE: NO MARRIAGE BETWEEN HOMOSEXUALS, AND NO ADOPTION OF CHILDREN AMONG HOMOSEXUALS, THIS IS AS WRONG AS EVER COULD BE. THE REAL AND TRUE POWER LIES WITHIN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS THAT WAS HANDED DOWN TO MOSES FROM MOUNT SINAI. BOTTOM LINE AT ALL COST REFUSE TO DO WRONG, AND AT ALL COST REFUSE TO ACCEPT WRONG. IF EVERYONE WOULD OBSERVE IN THE DEPTHS OF THEIR SOULS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, THERE WOULD NOT EVEN BE A NEED FOR ANY CHARITY ORGANISATIONS. THIS SOIL OR ANY OTHER SOIL ON THE PLANET IS DEFINITELY NOT MENT FOR A FREE FOR ALL, FREEDOM DOES NOT MEAN THAT A COUNTRY OR NATION SHOULD LOOSE IT’S CHARACTER AND FORM. OUR COUNTRY HAS DEFINITELY DONE SO. THE POWER IS IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, BUT HELL PEOPLE SHALL LAUGH, BECAUSE THEY THINK THAT THE HOLY BIBLE IS MADE UP OF NOTHING MORE THAN FAIRY TALES, AND THAT IS THE VERY AND ULTIMATE ROOT CAUSE OF ALL OUR PROBLEMS, THEY DO NOT TAKE THE HOLY BIBLE SERIOUSLY!!!

You and quite some millions and millions of people. I do predict he will win 2020. I think the man is doing great, he did what he said he was going to do which is rare for politicians, he makes the left nuts which I secretly enjoy(not so secret now), 3.6% unemployment? Thats´s quite amazing. As Clinton said, it is the economy stupid. Hopefully that message he keeps pounding it and pounding it.

REGARDLESS WHO WINS, WE SHALL ALL LOOSE. RETAIL CHAINS ARE NOT ADDING STORES, THEY ARE ELIMINATING MOST OF THEM, IF NOT CLOSING THEM DOWN FOR GOOD. THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAVE BENEFITED FROM THE TAX SO CALLED CUTS ARE THE CEO OF THE COMPANIES, IN WHICH MOST OF THEM HAVE NOT GIVEN ONE PENNEY TO THEIR EMPLOYEES. GREED HAVE IMMENSELY MULTIPLIED. PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING JUST TO PUT TWO PART TIME JOBS TOGETHER. NO THERE HAS BEEN NO IMPROVEMENTS. OBAMA AND TRUMP ARE SURE DOING A “GOOD JOB”. SECRET PARTNERS—OH YEH!!!
