"SNIP..............
If Donald Trumps claims that certain of his commercial ventures benefit charity are untrue, he could be held liable under Section 349 of New Yorks General Business Law, which forbids deceptive business acts and practices, as well as under charitable solicitation laws, according to legal experts, Politico reports.
In promoting products as varied as Trump University, Trump Vodka, a Trump board game and his latest book, Crippled America, the businessman has declared that the proceeds would go to charity. None of Trumps proceeds from Trump University have gone to charity, and only a few hundred dollars of charitable giving related to Trump Vodka has been accounted for.

He's his party's pick (for now)...is there an expectation of performance? Is there a contract? What are the rules?
