Charitable foundations are little more than tax shelters for millionaires and billionaires.

OK. So why hasn*t he given any money to charity?

Leona Helmsley seems like Mother Theresa in comparison:

Helmsley, by comparison, gave $5 million to the American Red Cross when New Orleans was submerged, and, post-9/11, she gave $5 million to the New York Police and Fire Widows and Children*s Benefit Fund.

This writer is just examining his charitable foundation. Whose to say that that’s the sole extent of his charitable giving? Have you researched it enough to know that his charitable foundation is the only vehicle he uses to donate money?

Charity is not the proper function of Government. I like a man who keeps his money tight. Perhaps that attitude will transfer to his governing style. Too many policitians see charity as giving the money out of other pockets to people to secure their votes.

Proverbs 12:10 The righteous care for the needs of their animals, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.

If he's not into throwing away vast sums of money on social causes for leftwing virtue-signaling, then that's a GOOD indicator of what you want in a President.

You do note no matter what's reported about Trump unless it's favorable to Trump his supporters will quickly excuse everything and anything he does or doesn't do?

Just like when Obama ran and we all tried to warn people...these folks aren't going to consider either regarding Trump. The similarities of how Trumps Primary run is going ,and the supporters, are strikingly similar to that of Obama's, with props, media and social media.

Things are never what they're initially presented as with Trump...
