So he has donated what, $350 thousand per year?

Trump*s a nice guy, but he*s cheap. And he cares about the little guy, except when it comes to spending his own money.

Trump: the billionaire you can trust.
He*s not like those other billionaires TM

donating to charity isn’t what it used to be. Too many charities are wasted resources

How much have you donated?

You sound like a libtard.

Charitable foundations are little more than tax shelters for millionaires and billionaires. They aren’t the best guide to measure a person’s charitable bent.

How many millions of books has he sold and how much would he have made from them if he didn’t give the profits away, as many have said he does?

Uh, it is his money. Is his supposedly small level of charitable contributions a high priority for you? I think a lot of us are more concerned with illegal immigration, unsustainable trade deficits, crushing debt and government spending, our nations weak position in the world, etc. But I guess you’ve got your priorities.

How much money given to charities is wasted? In contrast, keep in mind situations where Trump provided help directly to those in need. Besides that, he pays his own way in the campaign. Compare that to Jeb, hillary, and most of the others who would rather owe favors than pay their own way in the campaign.

Isn't it a Biblical thing that it's better to teach people how to fish than make them dependent on handouts? Isn't that what Trump is promising? By making America great again, people will be able to earn their own way instead of depending on charity.

Those of you who insist on continuing to put down Trump, the one candidate who has a chance to save the nation, are doing a lot of harm. We could be going on to winning people over for November if Trump could secure the nomination now.

Who is your favored candidate? Are you working for the campaign? I think that's a fair question.

The only charity I believe in is creating job opportunities.

He’d probably outshine Bernie, Obama and Obama’s VP!

You make a post about how miserly Trump is, and you don’t even know the extent to which his charitable giving extends beyond his charitable organization that you site. You’re a lightweight.

Not at all surprising but also totally irrelevant to the presidential race. Clinton and Obama donate more. Does that make them better presidential material? I think not.

Several pertinent comments to be made.

Would this be an organization similar to the one the Clinton’s have set up to give tax shelter to themselves while clawing their way out of the ‘poor house’

Included in Trump’s donations to his charity is there mention of his private jet being the only available transportation for a young lad who needed medical treatment clear across country *TRUMP gladly donated his jet for special transport to help the child.

Does it mention the time and effort spent to see Veterans receive proper and prompt responses when they are in need of medical attention.

There are other cases to be considered but most likely are never mentioned. There are times not all charity = cash.
On occasion just a kind gesture, a small acknowledgement might be regarded as such.

Bendavis slap down on TRUMP fails to hit the target.

Another hour, another ineffectual Trump hit piece. This one is probably one of the least credible that I have seen to date. Keep trying. Maybe you’ll find something, anything that will stick. This is not it.

I don’t like charities I’m sorry. I gave to a few when I came into a small windfall and I now never stop getting emails and letters, very annoying and I don’t trust them to use the money for what they say they will. Is Trump supposed to throw his money away?

While an obvious hit piece, how was Algore's record?

IIRC, there were years I gave more at a much smaller income level.

Sometimes it is better to give people opportunities (job openings) than it is to give money.

How miserly is The Donald?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

How miserly are you?

Covet not another man’s property, and you will have no danger of becoming a sociialist or a communist.

How charitable is Ted Cruz,or Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush? Have they given away $350,000 dollars annually?
