#pnut4prez: Your Charity Is No Good Here

The state of New York doesn’t even want Donald Trump raising funds for charity within the state, ordering the Donald J Trump Foundation to cease any fundraising activities in NY effective immediately. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman issued a “notice of violation” to the charity after it was revealed that it never had proper registration. The Trump campaign responded with its usual eloquence and deftness calling Schneiderman “a partisan hack.”

The missing 7A article is required for any charity soliciting more than $25,000 a year. Any sum above that – say maybe a humble $5 million from WWE power couple Linda and Vince McMahon – would be illegal, though it is reasonable to assume that Trump interpreted illegal as smart. Perhaps it would have been smart if the Trump Foundation was funded by Trump himself, but the foundation hasn’t received any money from the Trump Organization since 2008, though Trump did recently use $250,000 from the foundation to settle persisting law suits. The foundation has been ordered to provide the appropriate legal documents as well as audited financial statements and annual reports within 15 days or face accusations of fraud.
