Trump Foundation shuts down

Donald J. Trump’s foundation has stopped accepting donations in New York to comply with a cease and desist letter issued two weeks ago over its failure to properly register as a charity under state law, according to New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.

The Republican presidential candidate’s namesake nonprofit organization confirmed to the attorney general that it halted fundraising in the state as part of receiving an extension for turning over delinquent financial reports, Doug Cohen, a spokesman for Schneiderman, said in an e-mail on Monday.

What could go wrong!? There's no way he could run a casino into the grou....(tapped on shoulder, informed he has put casinos into massive debt, which caused many people hardship)....

Never mind!



Seriously, he just needs to get off TV and stop being uglying up our world. You'd think his daughter would tell him after he, hopefully, loses in a landslide that he needs to retire...

This will be interesting. All the contributions will be public since they will be converting to a outside funded foundation. (if they go that route) The question also will be are there going to be charges against him for things not caught before.

7. Trump cannot do something simple like register a company, yet wants to run a country?
