Takes contributions to her foundation from foreign governments in exchange for access to top US officials. This is a lie.

So, Clinton takes contributions to her foundation from foreign governments in exchange for access to top US officials. There is no evidence of this. Besides, why would she do such a thing? It isn't like she or her family gets any benefit from those donations. So Trump writes the check out of his charitable foundation. After all, it is a charitable contribution. They both agreed it was that. Nope, doesn't work like that. Trump got a benefit from this arrangement, and that isn't legal. Besides, this wasn't the only time he used his foundation for personal gain. The agreement was the result of a court ordered mediation. It wasn't the case of Trump proposing a solution and the city agreeing to it. There were several stipulations to the settlement. Which include shortening the flagpole, although only by 10 feet, and getting the permit which he neglected to do in the first place. He also had to move it. Besides, it all appears to have been a ruse to change membership restrictions the city had placed on the club as part of the settlement. And that is the difference. The Clintons do not use their foundation for personal gain. They don't draw a salary. They don't use it to buy their way out of legal difficulties. They don't use it to buy items for themselves. IIRC, they don't even use it to pay for their travel expenses. The same cannot be said of Trump. Heck, when the Trump foundation holds a charity event, it usually is held at a Trump property and pays for the privilege. And not at a discount, either.

Mira Lago, not Trump Foundation, was to pay the $100K. Self-dealing is a crime. When Trump said the foundation was rotten, he was talking about the Leaning Tower of Trump. New York attorney general opens 'inquiry' into Trump Foundation = Trump’s Trolls Ambush ‘Jew York Attorney General’ Eric Schneiderman Over Probe Sam Kestenbaum State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is being trolled by anti-Semitic Donald Trump supporters — again. Schneiderman, a Democrat, has found himself on the receiving end of anti-Semitic social media attacks following the announcement that his office is now investigating the Donald J. Trump Foundation, the New York Daily News reported. Follow What Emails? @thenextgeddylee Eric Schneiderman is just another lying kike grasping at straws. 9:24 AM - 14 Sep 2016 Another played the witty punster. Follow ??Joseph?? @joseph12xu More like JEW York Attorney General t.co 4:11 PM - 13 Sep 2016 Schneiderman also brought a $40 million lawsuit against Trump University this summer — calling the school a “fraud from beginning to end” — which prompted similar targeted remarks online. In July, Schneiderman told the Forward that he saw Trump as “dangerous, offensive and grossly uninformed” and someone who has given “explicit endorsement to anti-Semitic imagery.” “As a Democrat and a Jewish American, I feel that I have a duty to help prevent such a dangerous, offensive, and grossly uninformed individual from occupying the Oval Office,” Schneiderman previously told the Forward. Schneiderman’s office did not respond to a request for comment but spokesman Eric Soufer told the Daily News that it was “deeply disappointing that Donald Trump has opened the door to this type of bigoted rhetoric.” forward.com

He puts up a HUGE flagpole in Florida and every day, runs a HUGE AMERICAN FLAG up the flagpole. The city says, "You can't do that. Your flagpole is HUGE. It is 20 feel taller than we allow. You're gonna have to take it down." Trump says, "Wait a minute. I'm a HUGE Patriot. My business is the most patriotic business in Florida. We have to have a HUGE FLAG and a HUGE FLAGPOLE to put it on. How about I write your favorite veteran's charity a check for $100,000, and I keep my HUGE FLAGPOLE?" You're wrong. It was a YUGE flagpole, not a HUGE flagpole. He's from Noo Yawk, remember?
