Do you think Trump will shut the US government down or is it just bluster?

More of the same - he's walking this back too. Sarah Sanders said 30 minutes ago that they have other ways to come up with $5 billion.

We won't hold our breath waiting to hear what those ways entail.

@hlpflwthat Since he is shutting his foundation down starting today, under government supervision, it will be harder than ever to steal from others that gave to his charity. I'm sure he knows enough people to scam for $5 billion.

@windinhishair 'shutting his foundation down today' ... is that what he's calling the NY State attorney General's orders? Funny he'd do that - given that the whole thing was a 'partisan attack.'

If anyone anywhere ever gets scammed out of one more nickel by this tribe of grifters, they've got more money than brains.

@hlpflwthat Trump actually tried to shut the foundation down in November 2016, because he knew it had committed crimes, but New York State refused to do it until their investigation of the foundation was complete.

Yes siree! Barbie Underwood was having about zero of that. I'm happy to see she got a lick in before she leaves office early next year. There'll be plenty meat left on the bone for the next-in-line - Tish James. And she's not only an activist, but a *gasp* brown person. Delightful!

@hlpflwthat As Trump has previously said, if she's brown, then she clearly is biased and can't perform her sworn duties competently.

@hlpflwthat “Our petition detailed a shocking pattern of illegality involving the Trump Foundation — including unlawful coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated and willful self-dealing, and much more,” Underwood said in a statement. “This amounted to the Trump Foundation functioning as little more than a checkbook to serve Mr. Trump’s business and political interests.”

Should anyone be surprised that Trump's favorite charity was himself? Add this fiasco to the growing list of his crimes.

@windinhishair What has happened to that $10,000 portrait of El Cheetoh? The Foundation really deserves ownership of that majestic piece of art. And I can believe there are certain folks out there who would have a lot of fun with that masterpiece for $10K

@hlpflwthat I heard it was hanging in one of his properties, but disappeared when it got some press. I'm sure the State of New York will take proper care of it when they find it.
