The Trump Family-How To Start Fixing This Country_and Grifters Got to Grift
Hello!
How immoral must you be to steal from charities, in this case from one that doesn’t even exist…yet? Just ask a Trump.
From the New York Times:
Mrs. Trump is now selling tickets to the April “high tea,” with organizers saying that some of the profits will benefit an initiative of her “Be Best” endeavor called “Fostering the Future,” meant to provide computer-science scholarships to young people who have been in foster care.
There was no indication of how much of the proceeds Mrs. Trump herself intended to pocket. Florida requires any organization that raises charitable contributions in the state to register. No charity with the name “Fostering the Future” or “Be Best” is registered in Florida.
Asked about the solicitation, officials at the Florida agency that oversees charitable fund-raising said they also could not find evidence of the required state registration and had opened an inquiry as a result.
“Consumer Services Division is currently investigating whether this event involves an entity operating in violation of Chapter 496, Florida Statutes,” Erin M. Moffet, an agency spokeswoman, said in a statement, referring to the state law requiring charities to register before soliciting money.
Mrs. Trump did not respond to questions about the state requirements. Selling Trump: A Profitable Post-Presidency Like No Other
Totally on the brand because as far as the Trumps' are concerned the law doesn’t apply to them. Grifters gotta grift.
Anyhoo, methinks the Trump clan will just say it was an oversight, claim they will create and register a charity in that name (maybe they will, maybe they won’t), and call it a day. As seen here.
Melania reacted already to the news and to nobody’s surprise, it’s all fake news
