It is the time of the year for
charity donations and it is never too soon for a new year’s resolution. Most of
us are very different from Trump who is not charitable and should inspire us to
run for political office even if we have never run for anything before just
like him. We learned that Trump did a
speech to the Boy Scouts of America that was so offensive that the organization
apologized to the Scout members for his comments. Trump only gave the Scouts
$7.00 as a donation. It has just been revealed that Trump doesn’t even donate
to his own foundation and like his fraudulent University that failed so is his
foundation on the failure list. It has just been closed down for fraud. He was spending that money on himself.
Let’s discuss why we should
include in our New Year’s Resolutions to run for political office. It is a good
time to try since so many positions are up for grabs soon. Throw the protest
shoes out and get brand new campaign shoes for yourself and wear them to spread
your point of view for America. In fact many positions don’t even have a
challenger so of course they get voted in to a great job. The nationwide
average is 41% are no challenge votes. That means when you go to vote there is
only one name on the ballot for that position. Are we already having Soviet
style elections? Bring on the challengers folks!
America is a democracy and we
should NOT be voting for just one candidate in any position in our government.
Think about running especially when you probably won’t have any opposition in
your party anyway. This year there were six thousand House and Senate seats up
for election. Because of term limits 1,400 of those seats don’t have an
incumbent. You can be one of those people having a true say in how this country
is governed instead of just a shouting match in the cold resulting in you
possibly getting arrested for no good reason other than exercising your right
to free speech. Think about it!
Charity and Trump don’t go
together. He has announced that he will be closing down his self-named
charitable foundation. Well our good lawmakers closed down that fake charity. Sounds like a modern day version of the Scrooge
character during Christmas. A reporter just won a Pulitzer Prize for following
the history and reporting on Trump’s philanthropy that doesn’t amount to much. Through
his reporting we all learned that billionaire Trump had not donated ANY OF HIS
OWN MONEY to the Donald J. Trump Foundation since 2008.
Trump has admitted to “self-dealing”
meaning that any money found was used to benefit Trumps and no one else. A new
filing to the IRS shows the dysfunction of the foundation. We
would have learned this much sooner if he would only honestly disclose his tax
returns to the public AS ALL PAST PRESIDENTS DO. The foundation has been going
under intense scrutiny from the Attorney General’s office in New York where the
foundation is incorporated as reported by FORTUNE magazine.
Even though President Trump may
wish to now close his charitable foundation and has started to dissolve it,
legally he may not be allowed to do it because the Attorney General is
investigating the fraud taking place under the guise of charity. The attorney general’s press secretary said, “The
foundation can’t close just yet as the foundation is still under investigation
by this office.” Presidents don’t usually close their foundations especially
while they are President. Any President should be proud of the work their self-named
foundation is doing to raise money and to donate their own money towards good
causes for America. Not this guy. If he is not personally taking the money, he
has no use for the thing. This is the crap we elected. Start on those New Year’s
Resolutions as you gather with your families for Christmas and be
thankful for the good people you chose to surround yourself with. Encourage any
good person you know to run for political office as you write that check to the
charitable donation of your choice. Happy Holiday!
