That's a separate story/issue and that one confuses me as well. What's bottom line of what's wrong there

My point is there is evidence that Trump views foundation money as his to control, see WP D Fahrenthold 20 Sep

so when he directed compensation to the foundation, it can be viewed with skepticism to be charitable giving

to show the benefit he supposedly got (which I don't see in the article)

It is of no benefit to him to have lawsuit judgment on his private business settled by payment from Foundation?

I read the Post article yes that's entirely different I see the allegation there and the possible problem.

Ok, so my original point is he sees foundation $ as still his to control, not given away, and shielded from tax

If true I see part one but now how then giving to the charity vs. collecting the money himself benefits him...

If he has it paid to foundation, he doesn't have to claim it as income but he still controls the money
