Trump and $7 to the Boy Scouts (Jr.) via his "charity"

Look these sources aren't the greatest but they do have links.

First - this. The kid on the left gives no.....




Did Trump Once Pay His Son's Boy Scout Registration Fee With Charity Money?

"In 1989, @realDonaldTrump apparently used a charity's money to pay his son's $7 registration fee for the Boy Scouts," tweeted Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold, linking to an October 2016 report in which he looked into Trump's philanthropy record, which the businessman regularly boasted about in public.

Over the years, no other organization or charity has received as much financial support from the president as the Trump Foundation, with the largest donation amounting to $264,631 — the cause being renovating a fountain at the Plaza Hotel, one of his properties. The smallest donation dates back to 1989 — when Donald Trump Jr. was 11 years old — was the $7 Trump seemingly used to pay for his oldest son's Boy Scouts registration fee.

I cant imagine the donors wanted their money used to grease palms at trump's daughter private school.

I donate to your charity and you use the funds to donate to another institution in your own name?
