Hey look, someone who can't read.

Let's set this straight, shall we?

Trump held a fundraiser for charity. The fundraiser raised $2.8 million, which was all given to veterans charities. 100% of the money went to charity. Liberals decided that these funds counted as campaign contributions (zero percent of which went to the Trump campaign), and a judge agreed helped “further Mr. Trump’s political campaign.”

So, he didn't keep any of the money the charity event raised, AND he got to pay a $2 million fine.

This is all a matter of public record, but nobody will report on it the way it really happened - because if they lie about it, they can make Trump into a monster.

It's all in the public record.

Excuses excuses. Regardless of who got the money, why would the “charitable foundation” and its funds be administered by the campaign staff? That action alone puts the entire transaction in a bad light rife for criticism. The trump campaign controlled the fundraiser and funds of the “charity” organization. Seems like a campaign action.

The Trumps don’t like to follow the laws or rules and complain about the process when they get caught. At least they have you brainless drones out there echoing their nonsense and justifying everything they do.

wtf girl | SOOOOOO..YOUR ONLY REAL ISSUE IS WITH AN ADVERB? WOULD YOU FIND "MISHANDLING" A BETTER TERM? | image tagged in wtf girl | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
people will take away their own underlying meanings,based on their own predilections,but I think it safe to say that there is...shall we say....a certain pattern in regards to trumps financial activities.which,as you stated,are all public record.

now trump is not alone,but I find it refreshing that he is so bold and brash in his flaunting of rules,and laws.preferring to settle things in court in his numerous legal cases.

it is like a bloodsport for him,and he is quite good in this regard.having crushed many of his enemies in court.

and for those who like to read,i offer this article from forbes.(not exactly a bastion of leftist thinking) which breaks down the entire situation:

That article is not about the case he lost. Do try to stay on topic. Burning down your strawmen gets tedious.

The charity event for which he was fined raised money for veterans.

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE A TEDIOUS C**T? YOU AN ASPY OR SOMETHING? | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
I wasn't straw manning you,nor the OP.

I was CLEARLY making a case that this is not a one-off by using a single example and back that up with a forbes article.

I CLEARLY expressed admiration for trumps ability to navigate the legal system and utilize it for his own purposes.

I CLEARLY stated that trump is by no means alone in this regard,just far better than most.

please do keep up.
slapping down your obvious hero worship becomes tedious.
ben shapiro is a master of rhetorical stylings.
you are no ben shapiro.

wasn't it YOU that told me that you only used facts and not feelings to make arguments?
I am beginning to question the veracity of your claims.
because it appears that when facts are used that do not align with your own perspective,you have no issue with moving the goal posts and ignoring the OBVIOUS argument being made.we call that "intellectual dishonesty".or "arguing in bad faith".

stop being a hack bro.
and get your shit together.

You call me a c**t, then tell me that I'm getting emotional. Wow!

You brought up a completely different case with the predicate "breaks down the entire situation" and then accuse me of moving the goal posts?

The only thing clear about your comment was that you hate Trump and there is no limit to the depths you'll sink to slander him.

also never accused you of being emotional.

and knock it off with the faux shocked bullshit.
grow up.

I am not a never-trumper.
i was making a point to illuminate that this is not a singular issue but rather endemic.
a point which you conveniently ignored,because you are a hack.

seriously bro,your rhetorical stylings are utter shit.
and you argue in bad faith.
of which i suspect you are wholly unawares,and not malicious at all.

that's the second time you have engaged in bad faith with me.
it is becoming..tedious..to say the least.

but if you wish to continue this delusion that i hate trump...go right ahead...
it
is
meaningless.

He ran up a bid on a portrait of himself, and ended up winning the bid, and paid for it, yes... out of his own charity! What a giver he is! WHen i say "giver" i mean a traitor, a thief, a con man.
