Stand up a company in December, Trump pays you $1.6 million in January. THAT is why Trump guards his financial info - it doesn’t pass the sniff test.

The Trump committee had promised that the money not spent on festivities related to the 2017 inauguration would go to charities, but ultimately, less than $5 million was donated to charitable causes,

Even then, I’d like to see the list of the so-called “charities”.

Picky, picky, picky… close to $2 million went to a so-called charity that maintains the WH and Naval Observatory. IOW, Fat Nixon used other people’s donations to fund renovations and upkeep on his current residence and Pence’s. Seems, um, typical.

Now I don’t have my abacus out but there still seems to be ~$40 million missing and unaccounted for. Funny how that number is so very close to the so-called loans cum donations Fat Nixon put into his campaign.

Is there anything or anybody connected with the Trumps that doesn’t stink to high heaven of corruption and graft?

(Rhetorical question, obviously…)
