- The most important consequence of not registering under the more rigorous “7A” level was that the Trump Foundation was not required by the state to submit to an annual audit by outside accountants. In such an audit, charity-law experts said, the accountants might have checked the Trump Foundation’s books — comparing its records with its outgoing checks, and asking whether the foundation had engaged in any transactions that benefited Trump or his businesses.
In recent years, The Post has reported, Trump’s foundation does appear to have violated tax laws in several instances.
. . .
- Trump’s son Eric has his own foundation, also headquartered in New York, which raises money from the public through an annual golf tournament.
Unlike his father’s charity, however, the Eric Trump Foundation has registered to solicit funds in the state and files an annual audit report. The two Trump foundations share an accountant, Donald Bender of the firm WeiserMazars. A spokeswoman for the firm declined to comment on Thursday.
Haha. Clinton should use this line in the next debate. He'd go through the roof. The best result of this election wouldn't be just a Trump loss, but a Trump prosecution for tax evasion. Considering the shady stuff he does with the few million that his foundation raises, what might he do with a hundred million from his campaign (also tax free)?He’s a billionaire who acts like a thousandaire
I think there will be a lot more impact from quoting Forbes. There will likely be some variation of "Donald can't win unless everyone else is losing" considering he's a "smart person" who doesn't pay his taxes and taking advantage of the cratering real estate market is "just business." Vox opined that the whole Alicia Machado thing was a weeks-in-the-making gambit.FORBES’ new investigation into Trump’s wealth pegs his fortune at $3.7 billion, down $800 million from a year ago. A softening of New York City’s real estate market, particularly in retail and office, where valuations are trending down, has diminished his estimated net worth. New information was also a factor. Of the 28 assets or asset classes scrutinized by FORBES, 18 declined in value, including his trademark Trump Tower on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue, his downtown jewel 40 Wall Street and Mar-a-Lago, his private beachfront club in Palm Beach.
Doesn't surprise me all that much, remember that time she brought up a Military Muslim family on stage and literally just went "say whatever the fuck you want, I don't even have a script for you, this is enough" The lady is ruthless Vox opined that the whole Alicia Machado thing was a weeks-in-the-making gambit.
