Trump Foundation Lacks Certification to Operate as Charity
Quote
The Trump Foundation, which is under investigation by the New York Attorney General's office, never obtained the necessary certification to solicit money from the public during its nearly 30-year existence, an investigation by the state's attorney general's office has found, a source briefed on the investigation tells ABC News.
New York State law requires any charity that solicits more than $25,000 a year from the public to obtain a specific kind of certification.
The allegation about the Donald J. Trump Foundation's lack of certification, first reported by the Washington Post, comes about two weeks after New York State attorney general Eric Schneiderman -- a Hillary Clinton supporter -- announced he had opened a broad inquiry into the foundation.
I think Trump will be contending with a Cerberus of issues that are going to eat his campaign alive in October: tax return; foundation; Cuba. (I wanted to do a graphic to illustrate.) His "gaffe" of essentially admitting he doesn't pay taxes will undercut support amongst wage earners who do; his scummy use of the foundation undercuts his "law and order" stance and anti-corruption tyrades; and the Cuba connection will sever his bond to the Miami Cuban community, who are his "Hispanic" base in Florida.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
I'm imagining Trump's 2:30 am tweets as President:
"Vladimir Putin was never captured! #McCainloser"
"Downing Street has no 10s. Teresa May? I don't think so! Queen Abdullah of Jordan. Now I'd do her! Also, Shinawarta is HOT! We should do a trade deal with thighland."
"World leaders. It's hard to be a 10 when you're so old! But I feel like I'm 35!"
"Wiener is a loser cause he got caught. Real men wear boxers!"

It's hard to keep up! He's a one-man wrecking ball! (Now I want to make a video!)
