Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump is facing widespread backlash for funneling donations made to a Florida dog rescue organization into the Trump family’s pockets.
As reported by The Huffington Post, “A dog rescue charity with links to Lara Trump has spent as much as $1.9 million at former President Donald Trump’s properties over the last seven years and will drop an additional quarter-million at his Mar-a-Lago country club this weekend,” before adding, “According to a permit filed with the town of Palm Beach, Florida, Big Dog Ranch Rescue estimates it will spend $225,000 at the club where Donald Trump has taken up full-time residence since leaving the White House. All the profit from that spending winds up in his pocket.”
According to the IRS, the group has spent as much as $1,883,160 on fundraising costs at Mar-a-Lago and that “Lara Trump, the wife of Eric Trump, started being listed as a chairwoman for charity events in 2018,” HuffPost reported.
That revelation triggered an avalanche of criticism with people fuming at the stunning amount of cash ending up in the pockets of the Trump family and not used for pet rescue.

Found some interesting stuff out…they say they "try" to rescue 5K dogs a year but it seems they spend a lot of time overseas to visit dog rescues. The employees give the org a pretty low rating. The Director is paid 240K/yr

Directly into his pockets provided by his daughter in law as chairwoman of the dog rescue business. How many dogs are getting rescued? Are they a kill shelter? In what condition is the actual shelter. I want to see it. Why Trump. Why $2 million . I have questions……

Wonder what that mark-up on normal rates is for this event and how many vague and hidden charges will be added to the bill?
