Well look at that. A Presidential candidate's foundation got in trouble for some wrongdoing after all.

He has a penis though, so all is forgiven.

B-b-b-but the Clinton Foundation is the corrupt one!

[Southern Delegate matthew27]

Crooked Trump!

[Ebsy]

Almost beyond parody that the foundation of the political candidate not named Clinton was fined for pay for play. Almost.

[Maxwell]

alleged pay for play vs. actual pay for play

hmmm...

Something tells me this will go right over the media's head.

Does he? Given his record, I would like to see a proof.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Eagerly awaiting the AP expose on that.

It would have to be illustrated.

Yes. He also has hands.

The silence from our local Trump supporters is deafening. Here we have an actual foundation violation, yet they have nothing to say.

[Trapsy]

Looking back the media as a whole will be looked back upon enabling Trump through the GOP primary and now the general by setting a low bar.

muh emails.

Oh really, the Trumpster didn't play by the rules? Can not be true. Dishonest media!

[Trapsy]

I wonder if we are gonna ever discuss Trump's business being in debt to foreign countries, like is that not conflict of interesting? how will that impact his decisions as president?

Won't impact since Mr. Drumpf won't be prez.

We're he to be elected President, he'd have to put his business holdings into some kind of blind trust or sell them off.

It is an interesting point though.  I'm not aware of him being asked about it (though he could have been and I just missed it.)

The media in general still seems to be treating Trump differently than normal Presidential candidates. They aren't giving him a ton of free air time and treating him as an entertainment personality anymore, but they are still treating him mostly as though he isn't a serious Presidential candidate worthy of major scrutiny.

Obviously this should be a question that he is asked over and over until he gives a specific and detailed reply.

Donald Trump controls more than 500 companies -- many of which could create conflicts of interest should he become president.

Neither candidate is campaigning on ending capital punishment, or at all likely to bring its about its abolition even if they were, so it is highly probable that gays and straights alike will be executed under either President Clinton or President Trump.

You don't need pay-for-play or a Manchurian candidate for that happen, although the insinuation that the real motivation behind Saudi donations to the Clinton foundation was to get HRC to use the powers of the presidency to "execute more gays" is one of the more comically unhinged accusations that. I have seen anywhere this year.

The "Trump Foundation" serving as a front for God-knows-what is hardly a shock. I think it's pretty silly to treat the Clinton a Foundation as either something totally innocent or as "politics as usual" thay we need to tolerate, but no one outside the right-wing media bubble will be surprised to hear that even on this count Trump has done his best to leverage his status as an heiress/B-list celebrity/failed businessperson with a family fortune to fall back on to do maximum harm to ordinary people.

Uhh, homosexuality is entirely legal, so doing that would actually be against the law, because you are killing innocent Americans for literally no reason.

[Averroës Nix]

Check your reading comprehension, idiot.

[Mehmentum]

Well, I guess Clinton has a good comeback in the debates if Trump goes after the Clinton foundation.

[TrumpCard]

Did he write off donations to his own foundation like another candidate in the race?
