Ever since I learned just how crazy the 70s were in terms of bombings I've always been confused as to how any boomers are so bent out of shape about the amount of terrorism we have now.

I like that he's edging closer and closer to dropping all pretense with his actions now. Like the constant referral to "political correctness" in his London Mayor tweets. He's one step from tweeting pepes and calling the democrats Liberal Cucks to their faces.

I bet his private lawyer is like "umm, do I really need this?" Heard a story on him this AM on NPR.

E the take away I got was that the "whitehouse counsel" of 30 lawyers has no obligation to protect him, but the "office of the president" and they have a duty to report misdeeds. Hence the private lawyer.

lol this entire article basically, but here are the choicest bits imo

quote:

Especially since the person who specifically commanded that the for-profit Trump Organization start billing hundreds of thousands of dollars to the nonprofit Eric Trump Foundation, according to two people directly involved, was none other than the current president of the United States, Donald Trump.

quote:

THE COSTS FOR ERIC'S golf tournament quickly escalated. After returning, in 2012, to a more modest $59,000--while the event brought in a record $2 million--the listed costs exploded to $230,000 in 2013, $242,000 in 2014 and finally $322,000 in 2015 (the most recent on record, held just as Trump was ratcheting up his presidential campaign), according to IRS filings. This even though the amount raised at these events, in fact, never reached that 2012 high.

quote:

Eric Trump, in speaking with Forbes, maintains that "our expenses on a tournament that made us somewhere in the $2 million range every year was somewhere around 100 grand," even though his foundation's tax records show costs soaring to $322,000. When asked for an itemized list of expenses, the Eric Trump Foundation declined to respond.

Thus it's hard to figure out what happened to the money. All the listed costs are direct expenses: Items like overhead and salaries appear elsewhere in its IRS filings. Even if the Eric Trump Foundation had to pay the full rate for literally everything, Forbes couldn't come up with a plausible path to $322,000 given the parameters of the annual event (a golf outing for about 200 and dinner for perhaps 400 more). Neither could golf tournament experts or the former head golf professional at Trump National Westchester. "If you gave me that much money to run a tournament, I couldn't imagine what we could do," says Patrick Langan, who worked at the club from 2006 to 2015. "It certainly wasn't done that way."

quote:

Until this board turnover, the Eric Trump Foundation pretty much did what it told its donors it would: send its money to St. Jude. But starting in 2011, more than $500,000 was redirected to a variety of other charities, many of which were personal favorites of Trump family members and several of which had nothing to do with children's cancer--but happened to become clients of Trump's golf courses.

quote:

Over the next five years, Abilis spent an estimated $240,000 hosting tournaments at the property.

quote:

Over the next three years, Little Baby Face spent an estimated $100,000 to hold golf outings on the Trump course. The foundation denies any direct connection between the two transactions.

quote:

In 2013, for example, Eric Trump used his foundation's money, rather than his own, to pay $1,600 to the American Society for Enology & Viticulture for a copper wine still and an antique bottle washer at a trade event and fundraiser that he was keynoting.

quote:

More recently, the foundation has rebranded itself as Curetivity. A spokeswoman for the organization said it would continue hosting golf tournaments to raise money for St. Jude. A Curetivity event was held this past May outside Washington, D.C., with Eric Trump in attendance, at the Trump National course.

Who's even donating money to the "Eric Trump foundation" to begin with, why not just donate it to St Jude? I mean, I get using it to filter bribe money now, but what about four or five years ago

Don't forget Hitler's contributions to medicine.
With the tax return stuff I am beginning to think more and more that Trump is living the wealthy version of living paycheck to paycheck, that it's all a financial house of cards. Like why else would someone worth billions or even hundreds of millions care so much about money going to charity?

Hasn't that been confirmed for years? No bank in the US will loan him money, he has bankrupted multiple companies, and has sued multiple people for "misreporting his value" which is not really something that someone who is rich would probably care about. At least I wouldn't give a poo poo if someone said I was worth half a billion dollars and I was actually worth a billion dollars or whatever, it's not like money has any real meaning at that point.
