The Clinton Foundation versus Trump University

[rdean]

Asked for some examples of the work it performs itself, the Clinton Foundation listed these:

• Clinton Development Initiative staff in Africa train rural farmers and help them get access to seeds, equipment and markets for their crops.
• Clinton Climate Initiative staff help governments in Africa and the Caribbean region with reforestation efforts, and in island nations to help develop renewable energy projects.
• Staff at the Clinton Health Access Initiative, an independent, affiliated entity, work in dozens of nations to lower the cost of HIV/AIDS medicine, scale up pediatric AIDS treatment and promote treatment of diarrhea through life-saving Zinc/ORS treatment.
• Clinton Health Matters staff work with local governments and businesses in the United States to develop wellness and physical activity plans.

Trump University Playbook.

 

[tinydancer]

Speaking of Universities we really need to chat about Laureate don't you think rdean? You know the University that Bill was collecting a paycheck from while his wife was Secretary of State and giving grants to his paycheck errrrrrrrrrrr school?

"Bill Clinton collected hefty speaking fees as the “honorary chairman” of a for-profit university, but suddenly ended his relationship last week after Hillary Rodham Clinton attacked for-profit colleges and the money flow to Bill was threatened.

The new book “Clinton Cash” says government grants to the school’s nonprofit affiliate soared when Hillary became secretary of state.

As Bubba played pitchman for Baltimore-based Laureate University, the State Department steered a $1.9 million grant to the nonprofit, the book claims.

“Isn’t it troubling that while Bill Clinton was being paid by a private corporation, the corporation was also benefiting from State Department actions . . . Isn’t it troubling that this seeming conflict of interest was not disclosed?” writes author Peter Schweizer.

Bill Clinton severed his ties to the university last week — just days after Hillary, on the campaign trail in Iowa, charged that some for-profit colleges were ripping off students."

Oh and another neat thing about Bill and Hillary's favorite Laureate University also ....are you ready....

"Laureate and its not-for-profit affiliate, the International Youth Foundation, are headed by Doug Becker, and the school donated between $1 million and $5 million to the Clinton Foundation.

The parties never disclosed how much Bill was paid for speeches around the globe promoting the institutions.

But Schweizer estimated that Bill made at least $1 million based on his usual fees."



Clintons. Pure as the driven snow for rdean.

It is a shame you are so blind you cannot see how crooked the Clintons really are!
but like an ostrich some people refuse to pull their head out of the sand, or in your case pull you head out of Hiliary's ass.

There isn't one person named "Bill and Hillary". There are two people. One named Bill and a separate person named "Hillary".

Something similar came up with Clarence Thomas and his wife, Ginni when she started a foundation to keep people from getting healthcare.

The Nation: Clarence Thomas Vs. Legal Ethics

In 2009, Ginni Thomas founded Liberty Central, a conservative nonprofit that she said would fight President Obama's "hard-left agenda." Thomas said she "felt called to the front lines with you, with my fellow citizens, to preserve what made America great." The group frequently advocates against "Obamacare," pushing misinformation that it would be a "disaster" for small businesses and urging lawmakers to repeal it.

Republicans actually defended his right to not recuse himself. Even though he was so intimately involved.

And when it comes to slanderous stories about the Clinton Foundation and Hillary using her State Department job to procure funds, every single one has been debunked:

That's been completely debunked. Because it's illegal, Republicans would have latched on to it instead of just "emails". That's how pathetic they are. All they have are "emails".

Trump on the other hand..................

Donald Trump’s Charitable Donations Not From His Own Money, Politically And Personally Motivated

An investigation into the charitable donations Donald Trump claims to have made over the past 5 years — donations of over $100 million — has revealed that, in fact, Trump’s charitable donations have not been made from his own money. The investigation, spearheaded by The Washington Post, suggests that Trump’s donations have usually been made in-kind, i.e. taking the form of free stays at his hotels, or free rounds of golf doled out by his courses, or simply donations from external donors or charities forwarded through his own namesake charity, the Donald J. Trump Foundation. Perhaps more damaging is the fact that many of Trump’s charitable donations appear to be personally and politically motivated.

Remember, Trump only gave the veterans money after he got "caught". His using veterans for politics won't go away. The evidence was simply to public. It will never go away. He got "caught" in his lies, period.

I'd rather see Trumps tax returns. I bet they won't be boring.

You get a couple of right wingers desperately trying to smear. But it's easily debunked. Why bother?

Because, as Trump as shown us, creating a foundation to help people all over the world is the worst way to make lots of money. If the only goal of the Clinton's was to scam people out of their life savings, the way Trump University does, creating a foundation would be the worst way. The Clintons should be creating their own university.

Believe it or not, getting paid for giving speeches is not only legal, but also respectable.

For one, people paying for those speeches generally can afford to pay.

To scam the elderly out of their retirement is low. Very low. Creepy fucktard low. Scum of the earth low. Loathsome low.

So how these Republicans can see it as a job well done and worthy of being defended, I'll never know.

Perhaps one of you Republicans can explain why it's OK with you? Anyone?

Why aren't Republicans defending Trump University?
