Trump does nothing with HIS foundation other than try to bribe public officials - Pam Bondi, for one.
Actually Clinton Foundation doesnt. In fact they've been accused of TAKING money from Aids victims.. and only passes out 10% of their income, which is far below a "charitable" level.

Whos is"they" are calculating it? Again, members of Congress are on SALARY.. they'd get paid even if they were on vacation.. What part of that is difficult to comprehend? ok.. I get it, McDonalds employees have no comprehension of how a salary works

Pants on Fire. That's a lie.

The Federalist is not a credible source.

it also ignores the bigger question on whether this was a bribe to get bondi not to investigate the complaints filed against "trump U".

Trump supporters do not defend facts and allegations about their standard bearer. The response every time is "but Hillary."

The IRS gave a $2500 fine, so it was nothing more than a simple filing mistake.

Get back to us when...

The Trump Foundation has to refile 5 years of tax returns for hiding money, like the Clinton Foundation had to do.

There are emails asking for favors from government officials for its donors, like the Clinton Foundation did.

Received over 100 million dollars in donations from people that have matters before the State department, like the Clinton Foundation did.

This lie has been repeated and refuted numerous times on this forum.

Charity Watch gave the Clinton Foundation an A grade, while GuideStar gave it a platinum rating.

"Daniel Borochoff of Charity Watch noted that in 2014, 87.2% of the foundation's funding went to its programs, "which is really high." The foundation, he said, does "really important, valuable work that saves lives of lots of people."

"It's unfortunate that it's become this punching bag, this political punching bag," Borochoff said. "There's a lot of things that are said that are false. If Hillary Clinton wasn't running for president, the Clinton Foundation would be seen as one of the great humanitarian charities of our generation."
