Donald Trump has berserk meltdown after Trump Foundation is shut down
Donald Trump spent the entire election making vicious and obviously false accusations against Hillary Clinton’s charitable foundation. In hindsight that was merely Trump’s habit of projection at work, as his own “Trump Foundation” has turned out to be a nonexistent charity and nothing more than a front for his own criminal grifting. Now that it’s finally been shut down by New York state, Trump isn’t exactly taking the news well.
Trump went on a lie-filled tirade this morning, and he may have given some things away in the process. For instance, he claimed that “The Trump Foundation has done great work and given away lots of money, both mine and others, to great charities over the years – with me taking NO fees, rent, salaries etc.” Uh, no. Its financial records are public, and there is no evidence of any legitimate charitable activity in a decade. Interestingly, that’s right around the time it’s believed that Trump was fully wiped out by the 2008 economic crash, and had to turn to shady foreign investors to bail him out, and they still own him to this day.
Donald Trump went on to insist that “I wanted to close the Foundation so as not to be in conflict with politics.” This is also a lie. He did try to shut down the Foundation late in 2017, long after New York state had started investigating. At that time the state told him he wasn’t allowed to, because it knew he was simply trying to destroy the evidence.
Trump also claimed that “The new AG, who is now being replaced by yet another AG (who openly campaigned on a GET TRUMP agenda), does little else but rant, rave & politic against me.” Current New York AG Barbara Underwood has never ranted in her life, so it’s clear that Trump is projecting here. Incoming AG Tish James simply ran on a platform of bringing Trump to justice for his crimes. Then Trump added “Will never be treated fairly by these people.” In his mind, forcing people to follow the law is unfair – which tells you all you need to know about him.
