Really? So that's why the Trump Foundation is still around. Oh, wait, no it isn't, because of massive fraud. My God, do some research, willya?

“Our petition detailed a shocking pattern of illegality involving the Trump Foundation – including unlawful coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated and willful self-dealing, and much more,” Underwood said in a statement Tuesday. “This amounted to the Trump Foundation functioning as little more than a checkbook to serve Mr. Trump’s business and political interests.”

Yep, I can see why anyone would think Trump is a very charitable person - to Trump.

Actually, in NY, he's known for being stingy and only spending money on himself. I bet you the Obamas have donated more cash to charities, in addition to their time, than Trump ever has.

"...Back in April, Fahrenthold and Rosalind S. Helderman reported that they couldn’t find a single cash donation to charity that Trump personally had made over the previous five years.

...The Trump campaign had provided the newspaper with a list of donations made by the candidate, but many turned out to be gifts-in-kind from Trump’s businesses, such as free rounds of golf at Trump courses donated to charity auctions, and land-conservation agreements to forgo development rights on Trump-owned properties..."

The only cash donations were from the Donald J. Trump Foundation, the family charity that Trump established in 1988. But the Post also pointed out that Trump hadn’t given any of his own money to the Trump Foundation since 2008..."

Hell, I mean Trump used his foundation to pay for his sons Boy Scout registration fees. A $7 fee.

You somehow felt the need to diminish his generosity.

Some things it's better to just let it go.


Only Democrats could demonize a rich guy donating a quarter of his salary to the Federal government.


"We want half of everything you make...as long a you don't give it voluntarily"


Is it only virtuous if it's taken by force via taxation?

BS. Trump's profits from his business interests far outweigh his presidential salary. Trump is lining his own pockets like no president has ever done before. And let's see those tax returns. Then we can see how much he's given to charity over the years. You don't suppose that the fact that he has given very little (if anything) is one reason he won't release his tax info do you?

No one's demonizing him for giving.

We're saying he didn't.

Trump would do less harm burning that money in a parking lot, or spending it on drugs and hookers. What a waste

Trump says a LOT of things that simply aren't true, if I wanted I could post a picture of the front of one of my checks for $1,000,000.00 to the government. Let's see the back of a cancelled check.

And let's see proof Trump pays taxes before we hear cackling about anyone else.
