Nope.

He had to pay $250,000 to each of 8 charities, and then divide the $1.8 million in the charity’s account among the same 8 charities.

Just out of curiosity, have you read “The Making of Donald Trump” by David Cay Johnston?
It’s the only Trump book I’ve read… so far.
It gave a lot of background on the type of person he is.

any chance we can get back a few 100 million wasted on this creeps golf outings?
it’s just another check. lol

as a native New Yorker, don’t need to read a book.
Lived it, surprised he made to 40 years old the way problems were solved back then. Lots of concrete flowed in those days.
I 'm sure he was walking the fine line a few times headed to where the fishes swim or where concrete hardens forever…

I guess all of us have that Fiona Hill moment when we realize all these fuckers are in on it. When it comes to health care policy, the US has a wide selection of better and more affordable health care models to choose from (the Nordic Model at about 11% of GDP, the Swiss Model at 12% of GDP, the Singapore DIY approach at 4% of GDP, etc). The US Model at 18% of GDP has a serious free-rider problem. So it was today when we learned about free-rider protector, Price successor and serial Hatch-Act violater Seema Verma sticking it to the people for lost Ivanka trinkets. It’s fraud all the way down with these people.

Ooh! That’s a good question. I forgot about Form 990. Falsifying that form is a federal crime.

No, the total ordered distributed is the sum of 2 million plus what was in the account.

No, only the Woodward book and the Reilly book. I listen to a lot of different podcasts like Trump, Inc, and sometimes I feel so supersaturated with Trump I don’t think I can do another book. I want to read the one where we find out the actual truth about what has been going on in the WH since 2017 - if and when it ever comes out.

I watched 2 of the 3 national news programs CBS and ABC… Crickets Those feel good segments they all run in the last segment should be replaced with "Corruption Today " The Trump Administration in action . They could run 5 years and not have the same story twice

You have to love how the New York AG strategically picked the eight charities that the funds will be disbursed to. Organizations whose mission and members that Trump has mocked and shown contempt for in the past and as president.

I wish he would cough up a lung…or two.

That admission needs to be on billboards and in ads.

Oh, trust that they ALL know exactly what’s in every bill to be signed into law. The fact that they haven’t sat down and read the final edited version after months of creating it is a silly dodge, or “Boob bait for Bubbas” as we said in the 90s.

Please resist “bothsiderism” while there are still babies in cages actually dying from medical neglect. It’s not helpful.

I couldn’t agree more about the medical neglect angle, but ‘bothsiderism’ as you call it in your post is not something we can ignore. It’s been going on for decades but only recently got legs.

Which Dem Representative is going to publish a bill making it illegal for the government to arrest doctors who tried to administer flu shots to these children? Where’s that action?

My guy goes by the name Russian Ricky Crawford. Former rodeo clown who took too many bull hooves to the head.

No need to call.

Since the GOP reps couldn’t be bothered to attend the depositions they get no sympathy from me for their sudden clsim they’d even read it if sent to them.
