Wait a second!
How can a presidential candidate who keeps crowing about his fabulous wealth spend a six-figure amount of dough to pay off legal debts from a charity he founded.
That’s what the Washington Post has reported in connection with Donald J. Trump, the Republican presidential nominee.
The Post reports that Trump dipped into his charity foundation’s pool. He snatched $258,000 out of it to pay off some legal bills he had accrued.
Doesn’t that betray a trust he made to the donors of his charity? Is this the way to spend money dedicated to do “good work”?
And how does someone with the kind of wealth he keeps telling he has need to use charitable foundation money in the first place?
The Post has compiled a thorough investigation of the story. Trump’s campaign, of course, declared it was full of errors. No one has specified the errors, or even said the story is false.
We all know, of course, that Trump can prove his wealth simply by releasing his tax returns to the public as other presidential candidates have been doing for the past 40 years.
Oh … wait.
