A more fitting perspective would be to compare other billionaire's charitable records. None of the people you repeatedly reference are worth anywhere near what Trump says he's worth.
There's not a poor man or woman among them. Thanks for the suggestion - you can do that research if you like though. I'll just stick with comparing rich politicians with each other.
I'd like to see the profits he's receiving from being the President sent to charities, i.e. Trump International Hotel D.C, Mar-A-Lago, etc. Related to Harvey or not.
Trump has donated his entire salary as President so far, but he's given it to national parks, and education - both worthy causes but both government entities. Trump-O-Meter: Take no salary | PolitiFact
The guy is worth 10 BILLION dollars and you want me to grovel and rejoice because he gives 25,000 to the Humane Society? Like that cost him anything at all to do? I would have been more impressed had he adopted a dog. Of course that might have actually required him to do something beyond telling someone else to write a check.
The guy is such a scrooge he didn't even know what charities to donate to, he had to ask the press.
Take a look at the philanthropic works of other billionaires and then try and lecture me on how my hatred of Trump is unfounded and mean. Lol.
Such a bitter post filled with anger and hate. There's so much more to life than taking your anger out everyday on a message board. I wasn't happy when Obama won but I never let it get in the way of my everyday life. The worlds not going to end and life will go on but you're letting all this hate consume you when there's nothing you can do about it. Just sit back and watch Trump MAGA!!

You might as well. You've done it in several posts so far, why stop now?
It's pretty easy to gain favor with some, just flatter the state they've chosen to identify with and there you go, you've got someone who'll defend you ad infinitum.

Perhaps you misunderstood. I did not say salary, I said profits.
And to pretend he's some sort of Robin Hood for donating his Presidential salary after proposing cutting exponentially more in funding is laughable.

Is there? More to life? Really? You don't say?
Thanks! Wow, you sure helped me dodge a bullet there.

Perhaps politics is not so hard after all.
I'm no fan of Trump. I'm an equal opportunity politician hater. I just like things to be fair and consistent.

How on earth would you, or even Trump for that matter - or his CPAs - actually figure out what sort of "profits he makes from being President?" Is that sort of like the profits that most other politicians make after being a politician for awhile? Because I believe that most politicians seem to profit quite a bit from their time in office.
Who's pretending like he's Robin Hood by the way? I don't even like the guy. I just think he's a hoot. He's certainly not what most people think he is - on any side of the equation. He's random and pretty uncontrollable. I think it's sort of funny - in an awful sort of way.
