The United States Justice has condemned Donald Trump to pay out of his own pocket two million dollars (1.8 million euros) for using his non-profit foundation as a vehicle to channel funds towards his election campaign.

The fine adds up to 1.8 million dollars (1.6 million euros) that the foundation must pay for the same reason. Those 1.8 million dollars are the last funds left in the Donald J. Trump Foundation, since last year it was dissolved by the president and his children before the wave of legal proceedings against him for the use of his funds to Fund the 2016 White House campaign, personal expenses, and credit payments granted to the Trump family.

The 3.8 million dollars will be distributed equally among eight US NGOs . Paradoxically, one of them, Citymeals-on-Wheels, has among its collaborators the Spanish-born chef José Andrés, one of the greatest critics of the US president.

The collapse of the Trump Foundation has a certain ironic touch. After all, one of the most important issues in the public debate and in the US media in 2016 was the alleged embezzlement of funds by the Clinton Foundation and its alleged use as a channel for the countries of the Middle East to 'buy' political influence in the United States (when not for child trafficking to be used in child prostitution networks). However, it has been the network of foundations of Donald Trump that has been involved in a cascade of legal proceedings since then that has led him to close its doors, while the Clinton Foundation continues to operate.

The ruling is actually part of a much broader political struggle, between the state of New York and Donald Trump. The office of the New York Attorney General (a position equivalent to that of the secretary or justice minister of that territory) has launched a full-fledged legal offensive against the president within which the accounts of his Foundation are only one more chapter, and, since Then, not the most important.

The biggest battle between New York and Trump revolves around the president's IRPF Declaration. He insists on not making it public, while the state in which Trump was born and lived until three years ago - and from which he has just changed his tax residence to move it to Florida, which has lower taxes - has taken him to court for that reason. To date, Justice has proved right to New York. But every sentence has been appealed by Trump. That makes it almost certain that the case reaches the Supreme Court, a fully politicized body, where the Republican Party, to which the president belongs, has 5 magistrates, for 4 of the Democrats.
