If you look at how energetic and inspirational Trump's rallies are, he's done more for people than any charitable donation could do. Attending a Trump rally is the equivalent of hundreds and hundreds of sessions with a top-notch life coach.

THIS is the Democrats' front-runner?
No one else has answered maybe you will. How is it hypocritical?

So we can safely assume that you are obviously not a Trump supporter either.

It's hypocritical to claim it's important for "us" to b generous to the less fortunate and then you yourself give very little to charity.

OPM.

P.S. It's the same thing with my neighbors. They are always going on about how we need to welcome foreigners, and within a week after a Muslim couple moved in, they complained to the HOA about their "strange cooking smells."

Trump's not a socialist. It's already been explained to you.

He is popular because he is not corrupt.
He’s a millionaire with 3 houses, LOL at thinking a privileged rich old white man can relate to the struggles of people of color or women.

Where has he stated that he should be exempt from any higher taxes? He'll pay more in taxes with his own tax plan. How is that hypocritical?

Speak for yourself. I was screwed with Obamacare, but thanks to Trump's pro-business climate, I've made enough in the stock market to pay for the inflated premiums from now until Medicare age.
