“The bad part: now we will give him amazing hospitalization, he will be taken care of by some of the best doctors in the world, he will be given a fully modern and updated hospital room, and he’ll probably even have room service, knowing the way our country is,” Trump said. “And on top of all of that, he will be represented by an outstanding lawyer."

Room service?!?

This comment seems incongruent with the military press conference of several days ago described above.

The country club legal calamity arose in August 2010, after Martin Greenberg hit a hole-in-one on the 13th hole while playing in a for-charity tournament at the Trump National Golf Club, Westchester, in Briarcliff Manor, N.Y.

Under the rules of the competition, Greenberg was entitled to a $1 million prize.

But the rules also stipulated that Greenberg’s shot had to travel at least 150 yards, a distance that Trump’s golf club, allegedly, made the hole short of, on purpose.

an 80-foot flagpole at the oceanfront property that violated the town’s rules that such poles could not be taller than 42 feet.

When the town began fining Trump $1,250 a day for the pole, Trump sued in federal court, according to documents obtained by The Post, which stated that a flagpole shorter than the one Trump had erected “would fail to appropriately express the magnitude of Donald J. Trump’s ... patriotism.”

Chicago Police Memorial Foundation - In 2007, Trump told the IRS he'd given this group $5,000. In 2009, he told the IRS he'd taken it back. The Chicago charity says it never received a check in the first place.

Quote

Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy - In 2012, Trump called in to MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to pledge $100,000 as part of a fundraiser led by David Axelrod, President Obama's longtime adviser. Axelrod had promised to shave his moustache if he could raise $1 million for the cause. Trump gave the money from his foundation, and gave $0 of his own.

Quote

ALS Association - In 2014, Trump made an Ice Bucket Challenge video in which two Miss Universe contestants drenched him with Trump-branded water. These videos were made as part of a fundraiser for the ALS Association. Trump's foundation gave $0 to the ALS Association that year. Did Trump give his own money? The association said it could not release that information without Trump's permission.

Quote

Eric Trump Foundation - This charity is run by one of Trump's sons. Eric Trump first told The Post that his father had given "hundreds of thousands" to his charity. Then, he said he couldn't recall one specific instance where his father gave anything.

Quote

Friends of the Israel Defense Forces - his group provides welfare programs for Israeli military personnel. At a fundraiser in 2007, Trump promised to give $250,000 to the group. But he never paid. Another — unnamed — person paid in his stead.

there's so many (more).

KIND Fund, UNICEF - Earlier this year, Trump sent a check from his foundation to MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell, made out to a charity that O'Donnell supports. The charity helps provide desks to schoolchildren in Malawi. O'Donnell said the check had been made out incorrectly, so he couldn't accept it. Trump never sent another check, made out the right way.

Quote

Louisana Flood Relief Fund - Before Trump visited Louisiana to tour flooded areas, the state's governor suggested that Trump make a "sizable donation" to this fund, run by the Baton Rouge Area Foundation. Trump gave nothing, a spokeswoman said.

Well in Trump's defense, the Ice Bucket Challenge was either get ice water dumped on you OR donate $100.

Trump is spending a significant portion of his money making his ubiquitous Make America Great Again hats. Merchandise is one of his biggest expenses overall, at $2 million

He only wants to take your guns away if you are concealed carrying in Chicago, where the crime is.

“Basically, they will, if they see poss… — you know, they’re proactive, and if they see a person possibly with a gun or they think may have a gun, they will see the person, and they’ll look and they’ll take the gun away,” Trump said. “They’ll stop, they’ll frisk, and they’ll take the gun away, and they won’t have anything to shoot with. I mean, how it’s not being used in Chicago is, to be honest with you, it’s quite unbelievable. And, you know, the police, the local police, they know who has a gun, who shouldn’t be having a gun. They understand that.”
