Just to clarify, Trump didn’t pay shit. The judge just forced the charity to use the funds (donated) as expected.
EDIT: as pointed out below, I am mistaken here. It was his $2 million.
The foundation, which has been shut down, also distributed the $1.8 million left in its coffers to the eight charities, giving them each a total of $476,140.41. The charities are Army Emergency Relief, the Children’s Aid Society, Citymeals on Wheels, Give an Hour, Martha’s Table, the United Negro College Fund, United Way of the National Capital Area, and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
I wonder if he was holding onto the $1.8 million when he found out exactly what charities were in line to get the money and blew his top. “You mean the poors, children, the blacks, and the jews are getting this?!?!?! Screw that, I’m going to go buy more tacky paintings and sports memorabilia.”
