It does not appear to be a slush fund. It appears they are a 'boots on the ground' foundation that does the charity work themselves and does not simply give money away and hope something gets done.

I have seen plenty of links and citations in this thread, but not one from you to support any statement you have made.
Why is that?
How miserly is The Donald?
From 1990 through 2009, Trump has personally donated a total of just $3.7 million to his foundation, which was incorporated in 1987. In fact, the billionaire is not even the largest contributor to his own charitable organization.
Tax returns show that World Wrestling Entertainment has given Trump’s foundation a total of $5 million in return for the developer’s assistance in working a couple of televised angles along with WWE boss Vince McMahon. The WWE gave Trump’s foundation $4 million in 2007 for his help in promoting that year’s WrestleMania festivities, and another $1 million in 2009, when Trump (pictured below with McMahon) pretended to purchase part of the WWE empire.
The real estate titan’s foundation has also banked $205,000 from media outlets and supermarket tabloids in return for exclusive photos (People magazine, for example, paid the foundation $150,000 in 2006 for the first shots of Trump’s newborn son Barron).
During the past two decades, the Trump foundation has made charitable contributions totaling a paltry $6.7 million.

So what? At least they released their tax returns so we could see that. So when will the orange messiah release his tax returns so we can see how much he donates to his own slush fund I mean Trump charities.

Thank you. It makes for a better debate to have some sort of proof to back up ones claims.
However, upon a limited perusal factcheck.org does not seem to be judging facts from a neutral perspective.
I could be wrong. I only read a few pages of their archives.

They do not simply take money and then send it to people that will do the dirty work.
As far as Haiti, I'll have to look as to what happened there. As always, I'm sure there is a lot more context involved than you are giving me.
According to their own records, they might send 10% for charity work... They keep the rest to pay themselves, extravagant travel expenses, etc...
Missed that thread did ya? You posted in it?

Because the CF does the dirty work
They pay to send people and resources to where they need to be.
They sure do, everything they do is dirty.
They did not send the collected funds to Haiti

Hyperbole. If that was even remotely true, we would have some convictions in court.
I still have to look in to that issue.
Don't let the facts slow ya down LOL.

You said everything they do is dirty. Surely the Clintons could be found guilty of something, right?

Is there something illegal about that?
If I had my own charity organization where I knew what causes the money donated to it was being used for, I would donate my own money to that charity as well.
This seems very desperate.
