Trump’s pattern of stiffing charities


https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...3cdd5fe74204_story.html?tid=pm_opinions_pop_b


The whole thing began with Donald Trump portraying himself as a philanthropist and promising to donate proceeds to charity. But the promised charitable contributions weren’t made.

The veterans fundraiser? Well, yes. But it turns out Trump did much the same thing with another of his undertakings in the news: Trump University.

In the case of the fundraiser, Trump claimed at the event in January — and for days after — that he had raised $6 million for veterans’ charities, including $1 million that he “gave.” But The Post’s David Fahrenthold discovered that he hadn’t forked over that $1 million, or much of the other money raised, until Fahrenthold began making inquiries on May 23. That earned Fahrenthold the Trump moniker “Nasty Guy.”

Nasty Guy’s reporting brought to mind a passage in a November article in Time magazine by Steven Brill. At the time, it wasn’t the focus of the article. But it now seems Trump’s failure to fork over promised charitable contributions is a pattern.

“The records indicate,” Brill wrote, “. . . that Trump University collected approximately $40 million from its students — who included veterans, retired police officers and teachers — and that Trump personally received approximately $5 million of it, despite his claim, repeated in our interview, that he started Trump University as a charitable venture.”

The Fort Mac fires really showed Albertans and Canadians coming together..

Canada named 2nd best country in the world, report finds

The USA was 4th.. :lol: Canada used to be #1, it'll regain is status.


Calgary is not too bad, but I think you've over rated Vancouver. Actually once a place surpasses 10,000 population they go down hill pretty fast!

Trump's an embarrassing douchebag.

I'm embarrassed to be a Republican.

I don't see Hillary having the confidence of the voters so .I guess we'll elect a television personality. Pretty pathetic crop of candidates these days.

I won't be voting this time.


You can always send a message, scratch out the candidates names and add your own. :) :) :) (I guess pasting a picture of a turd beside each candidate's name isn't practical or P.C. !)
