Dog Rescue Charity Linked To Lara Trump Funneling Money Into Donald Trump’s Pocket
https://currently.att.yahoo.com/att/...l&uh_test=1_11
A dog rescue charity with links to Lara Trump has spent as much as $1.9 million at former President Donald Trump’s properties over the last seven years and will drop an additional quarter-million at his Mar-a-Lago country club this weekend.
According to a permit filed with the town of Palm Beach, Florida, Big Dog Ranch Rescue estimates it will spend $225,000 at the club where Donald Trump has taken up full-time residence since leaving the White House. All the profit from that spending winds up in his pocket.
Internal Revenue Service filings show that the group has spent as much as $1,883,160 on fundraising costs at Mar-a-Lago and Trump’s golf course 18 miles north in Jupiter starting in 2014. Lara Trump, the wife of Eric Trump, started being listed as a chairwoman for charity events in 2018, and the group’s president, Lauren Simmons, visited the White House in 2019 for the signing of a bill addressing animal cruelty.
Neither Simmons nor other officers of Big Dog Ranch Rescue, which is located in Loxahatchee Groves, 16 miles west of Palm Beach, responded to HuffPost queries.
Many businesses have cut their ties to Trump following the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, for which Trump was impeached after he spent two months lying about the election having been “stolen” from him. Trump asked his followers to gather in Washington, D.C., on the day Congress was meeting to certify the Electoral College votes, and then urged them to march on the Capitol to intimidate his own vice president into violating the Constitution and installing Trump for another term.
Simmons, however, was among those propagating Trump’s lies on social media, posting messages to “stop the steal,” a phrase the defeated president’s supporters had adopted. On Jan. 3, three days before the mob attack, Simmons shared a post stating: “ “Either we TAKE power back or we will never be free again. No more asking nicely.”
The charity briefly pulled back from using Mar-a-Lago immediately after Trump’s 2017 remarks praising the racist, anti-Semitic protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, but ultimately held its March 2018 fundraiser there anyway, even while many other charities abandoned Mar-a-Lago for good.
Daughter-in-law Lara Trump has been advertised as a “chairwoman” of the charity’s fundraisers over the past several years. The spending by a charity she is associated with at her family’s businesses mirrors practices at Donald Trump’s now-shuttered Trump Foundation and Eric Trump’s Eric Trump Foundation, which also spent donor money at Trump properties.
The self-dealing by the Trump Foundation was so egregious that New York State Attorney General Letitia James cited it as the reason the charity could no longer operate.
Donald Trump over the course of his presidency funneled $8.5 million of Republican donor money into his own cash registers by directing spending by the entities he controlled, including the Republican National Committee, toward his own businesses. He similarly directed several million taxpayer dollars into his own properties by insisting on spending his frequent golf vacations there, thereby forcing Secret Service and other support staff to spend money at them, as well.
C'MON MAN!!!!

Don't you care that money that was meant to help dogs is going into Trump's pockets?
Or is there nothing too slimy for you to excuse him for?
If millions of dollars of the money that donors send them goes into the pockets of the Trump family, this has nothing to do with the care and welfare of animals.
Someone should start a charity to teach you how to read.

If you don't think there's anything wrong with millions of dollars that was meant to help dogs going into the pockets of the Trump gang, then there's nothing anyone can say to you that will make you understand the obvious.
Just keep your head up Trump's ass where you feel warm and safe.
C'MON MAN!!!!

Some last year, some this year.
“The people of Georgia are angry, the people in the country are angry,” Trump said.
“And there’s nothing wrong with saying, you know, um, that you’ve recalculated.”
“I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state,” Trump continued.
“We won the election and it’s not fair to take it away from us like this and it’s going to be very costly in many ways and I think you have to say that you’re going to reexamine it,” Trump went on.

It has a pretty craptastic rating.

The Clinton Foundation, by contrast, rates nearly 10 points higher.
