Zone1 Trump yanks millions from Catholic Charities amid Pope feud

[Rawley]

Some might say getting into a public feud with the Pope is not exactly a good idea. This headline gave me pause though, because even though I have pretty much abandoned trying to elucidate the many reasons that Trump and his presidency are problematic, what does Trump hope to gain or what point is he trying to make by retaliating against Catholic organizations, particularly charities, by taking away their funds/funding? Could it simply be that in Trump's world, he perceives the loss of money, whether it's taken outright or the funding source is cut off, as the worst thing that could possibly happen to a person, organization, etc.? If, in his world, this is what he considers the absolute worse, then in a way some of the things he does sort of make sense but many of them still seem like nothing more than a shakedown, but I digress.

Does anyone think he's doing this simply to get back at the Pope due to his criticism of Trump? Remember, Vance has for several days now, been doing damage control and it seems like trying to mediate the tension between the two, but I get the impression that the only party that is miffed is Trump.

You do know that the funding was "yanked" before the Pope started the squabble with the President, right?

Did Obama pray to Allah before going to war?

Probably.

IIRC, at the direction of DJT, the Eric Trump Foundation in 2017 redirected donations meant for St. Judes Children's Cancer Research Hospital in Memphis, using the charity's money to settle a Trump business lawsuit, make a political donation, and even purchase expensive portraits of its namesake.

Yup...

Yes, but now you spoiled it by showing these clowns they don't know shit yet again. They will justmove on to the next lame assed fake 'outrage' now and we lose the laughs.

Yea

The left cares enough to lose contact with hundreds of thousands dumped in the US under democrat child smuggling.

They lost 40,000 children, probably to pimps and crooked labor racketeers like pot farmers.

Trump is playing right into their hands

Nah. Illegal immigration has dropped to zero. There is little need for these services.

Everybody else doesn’t have an exclusive real estate enclave such as Vatican city.

When does a non profit earning $63 million dollars become a for profit?

They run a huge deficit, so I don't know where you're getting this big profit from. It doesn't even cover operating costs, and again no evidence their investment properties are 'tax exempt' here in the US; that's because they aren't. Even empty land owned by a church next to its buildings isn't tax exempt., until they use it for church purposes, i.e. they build church buildings on it or add a parking lot.

Children's cancer research donations were misdirected to DJT activities unrelated to charity.

So, they get cash handouts? What do you think that amounts to per person? There are what, a billion or so Catholics?




lol wrong. You just hate religous people for some reason, usually a neurotic one.

Of course they get cash handouts. They don't have to fork over the money to give to the Church to pay those taxes. How do you think the church is going to obtain that money to pay those taxes?

You think you hear too many sermons on 'tithing' today? Wait till the churches have to pay property taxes. The closer to April you get the more you will be at a ransom negotiation instead of a worship service. And if the people refuse to annie up, no problem, just close the doors and sell the property.

'religious people' is a broad term.

Actually they weren't, they just had to do without the years of Trump freebies, is all. And we know none of you losers give a dime to any charity, so we just laugh at your fake 'outage' here every day pretending to be 'humanitarians n stuff' while supporting mass murderers, gang rape aficionados, baby killers, baby rapers, and making the world safe for IRanian nuclear weapons.
