Could we be seeing the first signs of this?

Gas bags have a tendency to do this, sooner or later.

"I don’t know that there was any attention paid to that at the time. We just saw two checks signed by Donald J. Trump,” John Randolph, the Palm Beach town attorney, told the Post. “I’m sure we were satisfied with it.”

Why yes, we're all sure you were. Say no more.

And Clinton is the shady one? What pisses me off is all the Millenials who have fallen for the Sanders hype which shares the Rights paranoia about Clinton.

I hope that every American can set up a charitable foundation like the Trumps and use the resources to benefit themselves. The American economy would boom.

He’s been running this amazing scam for years without anyone questioning him! And just by pulling on a single thread, the whole thing is unraveling.

HO will rue the day he decided to run for the presidency…

I’m surprised the legal sanctions are as mild as they are, but at any rate I hope the people who contributed six-figure sums only to have them used to pay off lawsuits will file some lawsuits of their own. It’s just outrageous that he would do this.

The good thing is that Johnson seems to be teetering over the brink after it was announced that his running mate may quit. Once he’s gone, Hillary’s numbers will jump.

The Trumps are making nearly $500,000 of profit every day of this campaign. They are paying themselves rent, buying Trump water, Trump ice, Trump wine, Ivanka aspirin, Melaria scents… They are giving themselves the charity of others. This is a great Scampaign. Trump is showing the world how to run a scam.

“Donald Trump used more than a quarter of a million dollars of his charity’s funds to settle personal legal issues.”

Deplorable.

Well, he did make the comment not too long ago that he could run a campaign and make money on it… So we shouldn’t be too surprised.
