Um, what about the Drumpf Foundation?
Helloooo⌠Anyone? MSMBueller?
Go get 'em Bill! Trumpâs âcharityâ is so sleazy that even regular people are beginning to realize it, making his accusations against yours another case of tyring to claim that âqui accuse sâexcuseâ (whoever is accusing someone is excusing himself). We have to change that adage to âqui accuse sâaccuseâ (whoever is accusing others is accusing himself.)
Rep. Steve King:
âSheâs only 130 pounds but sheâs got calves the size of cantaloupes because sheâs hauling $75 million!â
What about the Trump businesses that the kids would be running?!
The Donald âinsistsâ it would be in a âblind trustâ with his kids running itâŚTrust managers call BS on that and say thatâs not âhow it worksââŚTrump says âwhateverââŚ
You know, for all my disgust at the state of our political âjournalismâ and the long-time both-sidesism thatâs been killing us, and for all my not-infrequent decrying of same around here, I remain utterly shocked that Farentholdâs and Eichenwaldâs reporting has all but dropped into a media void. Thereâs so much there that any other news organization could take and run with as their own; and at the very least, they warrant regular inclusion in any Trump story as part of his ânarrative,â just as virtually every Clinton piece seems to include references to her âtrustworthiness problemâ if not actual mentions of the email and Foundation stories that have proven to have little (email) or virtually nothing (Foundation) to them. Whatever combination of zombified âbalance,â Clinton animus and pressure from higher-ups is responsible, I confess I do find it shocking, and maddening.
@mymy: Trumpâs âcharityâ is so sleazy that even regular people are beginning to realize it.
Hope youâre rightâŚ
A much better question is who will run âTrumpâ should Donald J tramp be elected president. Talk about conflict of interest!!
Dear ex-Prez Bill, the world-wide good works of the Clinton Foundation can continue even with a name change and without a Clinton in charge. Such self-inflicted tsuris the next President and our nation doesnât need! Chelsea and her parents can easily and appropriately resume control of the foundation after Hillary leaves office. Even your harping on this topic now doesnât enhance our candidateâs chances to win this election.
This is how the âappearance of improprietyâ is propogated. This story is about, literally, nothing bad, untoward, illegal, improper, or otherwise remotely close to some connection of wrongdoing. But, it keeps the entirely made up story alive by being yet another post in the âwhere thereâs smoke thereâs fireâ narrative the media, particularly the NYT, has created around the Clintons. I get that TPM is reporting what was already said on CNBC, and CNBC should be more aware as well, but this just adds to the âstories about the Clinton foundationâ.
Considering years of people looking into the Clinton foundation have found nothing wrong, this wouldnât bother me if this was 1/10 of the coverage Trumpâs foundation got, but itâs not, my guess is just in the past month there has been far more coverage of the non-story that is the Clinton foundation vs. the Trump foundation which the WaPo has been doing great work on shining some light on.
