Trump Foundation donated money to charities that held events at Mar-a-Lago

The Trump Foundation donated money to charities that used Mar-a-Lago for events.  Sounds sleazy to me.  Of course, the Florida Attorney General (see below) won’t do anything.

Mar-a-Lago members were offered a tour of Air Force One

From the article:

“Some members of President Donald Trump’s exclusive Florida clubs appear to have been invited to an Air Force One tour last year, according to an invitation obtained by BuzzFeed News, which was cross-checked with records received through a Freedom of Information Act request.
Members would not confirm or deny that they actually attended, but the invitations would raise more questions about the blurry line between Trump’s administration and his family’s private businesses. Although past administrations have given Air Force One tours to friends, family, and even donors, in this case, those attending would have paid Trump’s exclusive clubs thousands of dollars annually.”

This is so corrupt.  Sad!

If Democrats win the House or Senate, they can see Trump’s tax returns

I haven’t forgotten that Trump won’t release his tax returns.  What is he hiding?  Is he getting income in rubles?  Congress should pass a law requiring presidential candidates to release their tax returns.

If he wasn’t willing to release his returns, he shouldn’t have run for president.

This article notes that there is “…a rarely used provision in the Internal Revenue Code that lets the chairman of Ways and Means, Senate Finance or the Joint Committee on Taxation request anyone’s tax returns — including the president’s — from the Treasury secretary. ”
