@wolfgang59 saidThe decision is a bit more complicated than that. The $2,000,000 is damages for breaches of fiduciary duty; the Court states that the money raised did eventually reach the veterans' organizations:
"I direct Mr Trump to pay the $2,000,000, which would have gone to the Foundation if it were still in existence,"
wrote Judge Saliann Scarpulla.
Trump used the funds raised for US veterans for the Iowa primary election in 2016,
Do you think he may lose the Veterans Vote?
"In her seven-page ruling, New York Supreme Court Justice Salliann Scarpulla wrote, "Mr. Trump’s fiduciary duty breaches included allowing his campaign to orchestrate the Fundraiser, allowing his campaign, instead of the Foundation, to direct distribution of the Funds, and using the Fundraiser and distribution of the Funds to further Mr. Trump’s political campaign."
The judge was referring to a Jan. 28, 2016, event Trump held in Des Moines, Iowa, that he'd billed as a fundraiser for veterans. "
"The event wound up raising $2.8 million, according to the judge, some of which Trump distributed in the form of giant checks at campaign rallies before the Iowa caucuses."
"Taking "into consideration that the Funds did ultimately reach their intended destinations, i.e., charitable organizations supporting veterans, I award damages on the breach of fiduciary duty/waste claim against Mr. Trump in the amount of $2,000,000," she wrote."

In essence, the Judge found it was improper to mingle the Foundation's activities with Trump's campaign even though the veteran's organizations eventually did receive the donated funds.
@divegeester saidexample? or are you just whistling in the wind? and not all are corrupt, just the Obama holdovers. It is soon to be exposed.
It’s interesting to note how the US judicial system is corrupt to the core when it suits you one day, and the bastion of angelic righteousness when it suits you another.

@no1marauder
Thanks for the clarification. Trump seems not to learn that procedures matter, not only results. Maybe an impeachment procedure is what it takes to knock that through his thick skull.

@kazetnagorra saidI view Donald Trump as a symptom, not a cause, of America's current station. He represents the epitome of sheer egotism conjoined with an exceptional ability to present himself as the chief actor on whatever stage he happens to appear. He represents not moral decay, but the complete absence of morality; he himself said he could shoot someone and still get elected.
That makes it sound like an accomplishment, when it is rather a condemnation of American society.

@mott-the-hoople saidIt was not a fact.
I stated a fact, call it what you will but it is a true fact.
And the fact that you differentiate between "true facts"
and .... christ-knows-what; says a lot about your integrity.
That's a fact.
