I gave 50 bucks and would never ask that question. I bet he gives even more. Once you give, that is it. I think even the Bible says you shouldn’t worry about charity just give it.

He has given far more money to the Clinton Foundation than he ever gave to vets.

Not really. It teaches us that we are not be self-conscious about how charitable we are,

Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. (Matthew 6:2-4)

But we are also to be wise and good stewards of the mani-fold grace of God, (1Pt. 4:10) "There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up." (Proverbs 21:20) "He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord." (Matthew 25:22-23)

And thus we should seek to give to those who make the best use of it. The Lord Jesus did allow a known thief to hold the bag however, (Jn. 12:6) which served to manifest him as a child of the devil.
