Remember The Time Trump Tweeted About The Clinton Foundation?

Today The Trump Foundation was forced to shut down By The New York attorney general for It's ‘pattern of illegality’

while The Clinton Foundation is thriving And Helping People all around the world.

IRONY

[poli-junkie]

1. It's called projection

Whenever they accuse our side of doing something wrong, it will inevitably mean that they're doing illegal shit.

[Demovictory9]

2. Trump does "illegal shit" times two with no shame while pointing his fingers at others

[GWC58]

10. It's that

“projection” thing. 🤪🥴

[iluvtennis]

17. +++ agree. A belated welcome to DU poli-junkie

[c-rational]

23. Bingo!

[workinclasszero]

34. YES!

Crooked damn republicans!

The GOP is a criminal organization!

[dewsgirl]

3. Projection. Which makes me seriously take the rumors swirling around Epstein and the Trump Org

seriously. All the Pizzagate crap, I think was some serious projection.

[calimary]

4. Yep. The Clinton Foundation is very highly-regarded.

There’s a good reason for that. Because that’s the way they operate. In such a manner that earns high regard. According to Charitywatch.org the last time I looked at it. During the campaign I decided to check for myself. Lots of crap was being spewed about how they kept 90% of what they raised.

Almost the exact opposite is true. The independent Charitywatch.com checked them out and found that they kept approximately 11 percent of what they raised, for administrative purposes. The accusations that those fucking republi-CONS we’re trying to smear them with was UPSIDE DOWN. Maybe they were thinking of how trump does “business”?

[iluvtennis]

18. +++ agree. I too checked out both orgs during the general election after the misinformation attack

[NewJeffCT]

19. the real tragedy however

is that the Clinton Foundation has done a lot of good worldwide, and the RW attacks on the Foundation based on BS led to a drop in donations, at least in 2016. I hope they've rebounded since that time, but I have not heard anything either way.

[DFW]

5. Whatever it is the Trump Fpupndation WAS doing....

I think we can all safely assume that "Helping People Around The World" isn't it.

I remember Bill Clinton 13 years ago talking about encouraging ideas, any ideas, how to improve the lives of people who lived in misery. One eye doctor came to him and said he noticed how many thousands upon thousands of used eyeglasses were just thrown away when their owners needed new prescriptions. The eye doctor suggested to Clinton that instead, they gather up as many "used" glasses as they could, send them to India, and let penniless people try them and keep anything that improved their eyesight. It didn't have to be an exact prescription fit, but if it meant people suddenly being able to see street signs or avoid collisions on the street, or see children playing in fields in the distance, or whatever, it was well worth doing, so they did.

Now imagine Trump even encouraging, much less getting involved with, anything of the sort. (I can't either)

[underpants]

9. The soccer ball

I remember him talking about or (was it an expo?) about this soccer ball someone had invented. Go outside and play with for 30 minutes (exercise) and it provided enough power to run a low end laptop for an hour or so. Third world kids could be connected to the world.

[True Blue American]

40. Do you have an IPad,too?:)

[DFW]

42. I think my immediate superior got me one a few years ago

It is no doubt somewhere gathering dust with the rest of those toys they thought I needed.

[True Blue American]

45. I thought

The mistakes looked like mine!

[Mr. Ected]

6. Remember when Mike Flynn led the Deplorables in chanting "Lock Her Up"?

Today was indeed a day of irony.

[Demovictory9]

7. yes. and his equally corrupt son who would post anti liberal crap

what happened with that son. He was a jail bird also...right?

[True Blue American]

46. The crowd was shouting

Lock him up!

[Ilsa]

8. What has the drump foundation ever funded, besides

portraits of dodgy donald? Any schools, hospital wings? Children's programs?

[GWC58]

11. They've funded, let's see, they've funded,

ah yes, they’ve funded THEMSELVES! 😡👿

[NewJeffCT]

20. they bought something related to Tim Tebow

not sure what.

[radical noodle]

30. It was a signed football helmet

No one seems to know where that is now.

[NewJeffCT]

37. Maybe Putin has it

next to Donny's spine.

[radical noodle]

39. LOL!

There's a good chance you're spot on.

[True Blue American]

41. Do not forget the painting of Trump!

[radical noodle]

55. Oh, yeah...

I think there were two paintings of him because he loves looking at himself so much.

[True Blue American]

56. Good, because no one else enjoys looking at him.

Fat, bad wig and orange face, white eyes. You would think a make up person could fix those owl eyes.

[SergeStorms]

31. The foundation did fund the restoration...

of a fountain in Manhattan for about $250,000. The fountain just happened to be right in front of a hotel Little Donnie owns, though. True fact. You just can't make this shit up.

36. Settlement of lawsuits (among other things)

WaPo from 2016....

Another Trump shoe drops
By Jennifer Rubin, Opinion writer
September 20, 2016

Link: https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2016/09/20/another-trump-shoe-drops/?utm_term=.a63742428706

(snip)

Donald Trump spent more than a quarter-million dollars from his charitable foundation to settle lawsuits that involved the billionaire’s for-profit businesses, according to interviews and a review of legal documents.

Those cases, which together used $258,000 from Trump’s charity, were among four newly documented expenditures in which Trump may have violated laws against “self-dealing” — which prohibit nonprofit leaders from using charity money to benefit themselves or their businesses.

Also referenced in same article...
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-used-258000-from-his-charity-to-settle-legal-problems/2016/09/20/adc88f9c-7d11-11e6-ac8e-cf8e0dd91dc7_story.html

For anyone having paid access to WaPo, put the term "Trump Foundation expenditures" into their search window and it gives dozens of results to help clarify the extent of their fraud.

[Ilsa]

54. Wow. Thank you! nt

[marybourg]

12. tRump ought to be required by the judge

to distribute the scammed money in the tRump Foundation to the Clinton Foundation.

[Perseus]

16. Wow...the best idea I have seen today

That would to two things:
1. Infuriate the hell out of the con
2. Land in good hands to help people who need it.

[Ilsa]

27. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Best one yet! nt

[erronis]

28. And the Clinton Foundation to pass it directly to Planned Parenthood

Or somewhere that will make those little deplorable brains explode.

[True Blue American]

43. The ones in charge

Of distributing the Funds are going to make sure it is given to reputable Charities. That could be the Clinton Foundation!

[ffr]

13. Typical projectionism. Unfortunately, most, if not all republican voters are low info voters

so they've probably never been exposed to sayings like -- "the one who smelt it, dealt it."

Figure it out, stupid people! Your stupidity puts us all in peril.

[IronLionZion]

14. It was a dark and rainy day when that POS was sworn into office

I hope America learns to never make this mistake again

[erronis]

29. Me too. However I think this carnival of idiocracy will happen again and again.

We've never had a perfect union. And I don't think one can ever exist.

We're also subject to internal and external forces that don't care about internal governance such as local/state/federal elections, etc.

It would be nice to think that we can clean up their mess for 20-50 years, but in another 100-200? Who knows.

[PatSeg]

15. He is always accusing his adversaries

of what he is guilty of. Liars and cheats tend to assume everyone else does it too.

[Quixote1818]

21. Clinton Foundation get a A rating from charity watch

https://www.charitywatch.org/ratings-and-metrics/clinton-foundation/478

[True Blue American]

44. So the Trump Foundation

Money could go to them!

[Bob Loblaw]

22. It's like George Costanza's Human Fund

"The motto was "Money..., for people". So the Trump Foundation is "Money..., for Trump.

[SergeStorms]

32. The big trouble for Trump in this scandal...

is the taxes he probably owes on everything he and his kids spent on themselves. The IRS is going to have a picnic crawling all over that can of worms. Trump will be bankrupt before these investigations are all over. I imagine he'll get his cult to pay for his legal aid, taxes and such. They're just that stupid.

[Bob Loblaw]

33. Right

Go Fund Me for a "billionaire".

[SWBTATTReg]

47. YES! He'll own tons of back taxes, interest, and penalties. And he was blatantly illegal in ...

spending his foundations' money for himself. Blatantly. So no mistake, planned it (to deceive) deliberately. Probably done everywhere there is a rump property, so I hope every country, every state reviews every single one of rump's tax returns.

[FakeNoose]

48. Yep! NYS will invoice him for all the taxes and penalties

... for all those years. It will take the kiddies' inheritances to pay it all off.

[BobTheSubgenius]

24. Is it "irony", though?

When one gets the outcome that one could and should expect? Ggiven that one is one of the most highly-rated and highly-respected foundations in America with a stupendous record of getting the rubber to meet the road and NOT be taken by excessive overhead and graft....and the other is a thinly-disguised (and now no longer disguised at all), sham held close to a criminal enterprise broad and deep?

[Cha]

25. FUCKING KARMA CAN BE A

MF!

[Cracklin Charlie]

26. Every accusation is a confession.

Sad.

[Mc Mike]

35. It's axiomatic. There's a tweet from Prez Shithole, where he

winds up inadvertently calling himself a shithole, for literally every occasion and situation.

[malaise]

38. I love how his lawyers are screaming that thesis being politicized

He doesn't want anyone to know he's a crook , a con and a criminal.

[worstexever]

49. He still is tweeting about the Clinton foundation. He tweeted about it this morning.

Blame, blame. Deflect, deflect.

[peggysue2]

50. Trump's HRC Accusations Trump's Public Confession & Prescience

Think about it: all the accusations of criminal activity, slush funds, how the Administration(HRC's) would be plagued with investigations and upheaval, etc., etc., etc

From his own mouth, he predicted his own demise. Projection on steroids. Maybe he can find a spot at the carnival, Fortuneteller Extraordinaire.

Trumpski, Seer of the Urals. Or Urinals depending on your point of view.

It's happening, falling apart in real time now. All predicted, 2+ years ago. From the mouth of the Squatter-in-Chief.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

51. some links

Posted in an earlier thread started by malaise:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=11566784

This one in particular took an in-depth look at the Clinton Foundation:

The key question on the Clinton Foundation is whether it saved lives. The answer is clearly yes.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

52. And nothing illegal has ever been uncovered

about the Clinton Foundation either.

[XRubicon]

53. Drumpf and his moron followers think "Clinton games" the foundation

Idiots one and all.
