Are you really that stupid
The president admitted, among other things, to arranging for the charity to pay $10,000 for a 6-foot portrait of him

Since you seem confused again, more than 40% of America are independent, and that's more than 10% more than either party.
The candidates are the issue for the vast majority of Americans.
If they were independent ,they would vote that way. They do, free of party affiliation. You do understand "independent" is not a party, don't you?

THT and knitting, they knew what they were doing. Okay, I'll bite. For years when a lot of drama was present on forums ,people would often say " You can join the knitting forum " to someone . Usually said to someone complaining about the dialog or wanting to control who was on a forum. Sorta like you are vaguely doing here . I didn't think it would be quite as peaceful and serene as some thought. So , I said I was going to join and report back . I was welcomed with open arms and had a bit of fun like when I started simultaneous threads there and at THT and had the knitting ladies talking to the deplorables in Dockside Chat at THT. One of the ladies said she really liked sailors and someone on THT posted a knit sweater for one's dick and balls. It was going okay till the mod stepped in and ended the fun. I later let the ladies know I was a Trump supporter to see if they like me as much. I got called numerous foul language names and threads were started about me . On the knitting forum you were allowed to start a thread about anyone and block them from commenting back. I've never seen that before on a forum . What done me in was when I nicknamed 3 of the ladies that were cursing and making up shit about me . I named one of the ladies Shithead and one Ralphie and I don't recall the other. There's Democrats there and they get special treatment .

Of course I do. That doesn't change the facts of the matter.

Of course they are.
Again, independent is not a party and one does not become a member of a party simply by voting for one party's nominee.
Independent, since you seem unclear, simply means a person is not affiliated with a political party.
Like me, for instance.

No, when they vote for a party they are affiliated with that party in that action. Actions speak louder than words. af·fil·i·at·ed /əˈfilēˌādəd/ adjective (of a subsidiary group or a person) officially attached or connected to an organization.

Did you miss the word "officially" in your definition? Voting is not an official attachment or connection to a party. It's a vote. Since you seem confused again, here's the definition of independent voter: An independent voter, often also called an unaffiliated voter or non-affiliated voter in the United States, is a voter who does not align themselves with a political party. An independent is variously defined as a voter who votes for candidates on issues rather than on the basis of a political ideology or partisanship; a voter who does not have long-standing loyalty to, or identification with, a political party; a voter who does not usually vote for the same political party from election to election; or a voter who self-describes as an independent.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_voterAnything else I might help clear up for you?

A voter voting for a candidate is not independent when voting for a Dem Or Republican. You are describing what they usually identify as , They would not have long lasting loyalty or identification with a party.

In June 2018, then-New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood sued the president, his son Eric and daughter, Ivanka, along with the Donald J. Trump Foundation charity. Underwood wrote that:
"For more than a decade, the Donald J. Trump Foundation has operated in persistent violation of state and federal law governing New York State charities. This pattern of illegal conduct by the Foundation and its board members includes improper and extensive political activity, repeated and willful self-dealing transactions, and failure to follow basic fiduciary obligations or to implement even elementary corporate formalities required by law."
As a result, Underwood asked the New York State Supreme Court to "dissolve the Foundation for its persistently illegal conduct, enjoin its board members from future service as a director of any not-for-profit authorized by New York law, to obtain restitution and penalties, and to direct the Foundation to cooperate with the Attorney General in the lawful distribution of its remaining assets to qualified charitable entities."
Specifically, the attorney general asked the court to bar the president from running any New York-based charities for 10 years, and the other directors for one year.

He pled guilty to defrauding the charity. He is barred from further "charity" participation in the future. "But it is not the case, as viral social media posts claim, that the Trump family was “disallowed from operating ANY charity” in New York “because they stole from a kids cancer charity.” That distorts the facts on a number of fronts, including by conflating two separate matters. First of all, it’s wrong to say the family was “disallowed” from operating a charity in the state. There was no such stipulation in the settlement with the attorney general.
