If you listen to the whole section of the speech and not just half a sentence, it was obvious he was saying private enterprise depends on the infrastructure that is built and maintained by public funding.

Conservatives love to lie, though, so I don't think my post matters much.

That's one way to look at it. I can see both ways having valid points/how interpretation can vary.

Given you're a "highway and bridge engineer" in your status, I can understand your viewpoint a little more clearer.

trump has held fundraisers that donated money, that's all. in reality some employee or volunteer did the work of the fundraiser. trump just gave his brand and it's gilt.
Maybe your missing the point of what I'm saying? The posts I'm responding to said it was from trumps pocket, not the foundation.....I asked for proof, she cannot provide that proof....neither can you.

Trump and his campaign said that Donald Trump has donated $100 million to charity. Do you dispute this?

But I don't think you're presenting the entire picture....a lot went elsewhere. The vast majority in fact according to the data in regards to the clinton "charity" foundation:

Clinton Foundation Spent Barely 6 Percent On Charitable Grants In 2014

Charity watchdog: Clinton Foundation a ‘slush fund’ | New York Post

"The Clinton family’s mega-charity took in more than $140 million in grants and pledges in 2013 but spent just $9 million on direct aid.

The group spent the bulk of its windfall on administration, travel, and salaries and bonuses, with the fattest payouts going to family friends."

You need to get some credible sources. You know, "lame stream media" sources. Not a rag and a, what is it?

the point is no one can prove it was from trumps pocket. all we have is his word and he lies.

If you read the article you wouldn't say such a thing as you would have seen the IRS filing documents referenced.

Clinton Foundation Spent Barely 6 Percent On Charitable Grants In 2014

First paragraph:

"The Clinton Foundation spent less than 6 percent of its budget on charitable grants in 2014, according to documents the organization filed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in 2015."

From the article quote above, click on the hyperlink text above for IRS source form 990.

Keep reading the main source articles for more hyperlinks to more IRS filed documents on the topic.

Now let's discuss.

oh, about your "lamestream" love/trust?

Let's talk about reality there:

http://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/Me...inds-UCLA-6664

http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/was...orts-news-bias

"The liberal bias of the mainstream media tilts so far left that any outlets not in that political lane, like the Drudge Report and Fox News Channel, look far more conservative than they really are, according to a UCLA professor's new book out next month."

From usnews.....mainstream enough for you? Just for you pop.

I'm not denying that, what I am denying is the following:

You have failed to show anything that says he donated $100 million of his personal money.

Look, if you have the inability to follow your own posts, that's not my fault. If you want to play word games then continue making a fool of yourself....
