BOILER-PIPE: Share on Twitter NEW YORK — President . The Trump Organization says the check for $191,538 represents profits from embassy parties, hotel stays and other foreign government spending at the Washington, D.C., hotel and other properties last year. The voluntary donation is up from $151,470 to cover his first year in office.
Story Continued Below The donations have not allayed critics who say Trump is violating the emoluments clauses of the Constitution prohibiting presidents from accepting gifts or payments from foreign or domestic governments. Trump is fighting lawsuits citing the clauses. The president’s lawyers argue the framers did not intend to ban payments in exchange for services such as hotel stays.
Pants on fire
So what? This won’t help the PORKUS in chief.
🤣🤣🤣🤣if you believe that I have land for sale in the middle of the Atlantic ocean🤣🤣🤣🤷♂️
Pretty low rate of return on an emoluments clause violation of epic proportions. Failing properties can't pay more? POTUS is weak. Failing miserably.
Has anyone seen the cancelled check? The link was Tweeted August 22, 2016: Don't show me the cancelled check, ealDonaldTrumpp, show me it being deducted on [your] tax return.
Sounds a little low. Unless his properties are failing?
They probably stole the change/dollars left as tips for the service staff
$200,000 out of how many millions?
Holy crap! Pigs have begun flying?! I'm supposed to believe the company did donate the money, just like the Trump Foundation was a responsible charity? And you mean to tell me they only pulled in $200K? I call shinanegans!!!
Only scratches the surface. Pocket change!
Proof please. Receipts, documents, confirmation from banks.
We ALL know that if this was TRUE he would hold a press conference.
The North Americans we are working to Make America Great Again, we support 1000 x 1000 to President Trump. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸TRUMP 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It’s a lie. Like everything else that’s comes out of his pie hole
Proof
That sounds a little light.
I’m certain he’s made much more than that...🙄
Tax deduction
Tax deductible?
BULL!
Wow! A whole $200,000 out of how many millions? What a joke.
Where is the proof of this? I don't trust anything connected to a trump company.
The guy's amazing. Now let's see how the media can spin it the other way.
So he is cheating the country to the tune of many millions of dollars while flouting ethics laws? Nearly $200k is a laughable publicity stunt.
Wait. You can’t just donate to the Treasury.
We need the receipt.
Such BS.
Really, $200k in 2 years? Where's the rest?
Peanuts.
Cough Cough-- bullshit..
Proof please!!
Trump always says that, but never does it until pressured heavily. Get Treasury confirmation.
Receipts please!
So bribe the government not to look into your ethics violations?
Highly doubtful! And if they DID turn money over to Treasury, it’s not a donation-it’s owed because of the emoluments clause. I’d life the proof of this, please.
Nowhere near the profits they’re making.
Let him pay for the farmers he ruined
Wow. He doesn't have a very a profitable business does he
Useless data. How much was total profit? MAINLY how much did they over state expenses!!!
And if he was forced to show proof, he'd point to donations of his salary, rather than anything involving profits from his businesses.
Make him prove it and prove what the total take was!
What is that like a one night stay charge🙄
Oh I'm sure that's not even an infinitesimal fraction of what he's actually profited since he started his crime spree in D.C. !!
So this is a lie—best to check the facts
200k in two years. Wow hotel must be struggling
Pennies
They owe more than that, where’s the rest of the money. It should be in the millions he’s making us pay every time he goes to Florida. So what is paying lossy 200k he owes more.
Kendred11 Donation my ass. Where's the rest?
$200K. Seriously 😳 and the rest of the millions ?
I bet it's made more then that!
Illegal income is still illegal, even when you pay someone to look the other way.
What does the treasury say? It’s become common that everything trump officials say they did is proven to be untrue.
It’s not a donation, it’s a payoff. He is still committing a crime and he is paying us to look the other way. He’s turning the U.S. Treasury into his accomplice.
Show us the books!
uh...can we get a receipt on that?
People cannot even read anymore! The money is from Foreign Governments using properties
That's prob like a weekend of what they charged for paid parking in the hotel garage...
Kendred11 WTF?!
UH NOPE I AM NOT BUYING THIS. 'SHOW US THE MONEY '
Why give it to the treasury? Donate it to animal welfare since his psycho sons murder wildlife...
$200,000 thousand dollars. No way! If we could get the ,$100,000,000.00 you’ve wasted golfing and sending your family on business runs. Thief!
Uh, bullshit!
However you can’t show any evidence of that because he’s under audit… He would if he wasn’t under audit, believe me
Now what about the multi Millions you and your dad cheated AMERICA out of for decades through your Tax scam schemes.
BS
Really, big deal, it's obvious how truly cheap this man is, if he's generous he's the first one to point it out, like when Paul Ryan said that secretary was overjoyed to get that .50 extra in her paycheck each week realDonaldTrump
EVIDENCE?
So...a weekend of hotel stays.
So, Trump gives a huge pile of money to the US Treasury, and Trump-haters in the comments are b*tching about it. LOL. You guys hate Trump so much you'd find a way to gripe if he cured cancer. (Or if he, for example, put forward a worldwide effort to combat anti-homosexual laws)
A meaningless number.
What about his salary? Is that still getting donated quarterly?
That can't be all of it
Pretty sure they didn’t.
$200,000. Where are the millions?
I wouldn't of made that agreement GovtScam
😂😂😂
Cool story
Which means they actually made at least 200million from foreign governments. trumpmath altfacts
should have been at least $200 million.....
Proof
$200K is chump change.
there is something nefarious in that ...I'm not sure what it is but ..oh, I know a mere 200,000 ahahahahahahahahahaha
The numbers will be coming soon from the Ministry of Lies
IDK.
