How miserly is The Donald?
From 1990 through 2009, Trump has personally donated a total of just $3.7 million to his foundation, which was incorporated in 1987. In fact, the billionaire is not even the largest contributor to his own charitable organization.
Tax returns show that World Wrestling Entertainment has given Trumpâs foundation a total of $5 million in return for the developerâs assistance in working a couple of televised angles along with WWE boss Vince McMahon. The WWE gave Trumpâs foundation $4 million in 2007 for his help in promoting that yearâs WrestleMania festivities, and another $1 million in 2009, when Trump (pictured below with McMahon) pretended to purchase part of the WWE empire.
The real estate titanâs foundation has also banked $205,000 from media outlets and supermarket tabloids in return for exclusive photos (People magazine, for example, paid the foundation $150,000 in 2006 for the first shots of Trumpâs newborn son Barron).
During the past two decades, the Trump foundation has made charitable contributions totaling a paltry $6.7 million.
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.
In 2006, Trumpâs foundation did give $1000 to the New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Fund, a controversial Scientology program (co-founded by Tom Cruise) that promoted a *purification rundown* for firemen and others who inhaled toxins while working near the smoldering remains of the World Trade Center.
I’m honestly not sure if these crazy posters actually support Cruz, or if they just hate, hate, hate, HATE Donald Trump with a hot, hot hate.
maybe it would be possible for Mr Trump to research which are the good charities and which are the bad ones .......seeing as how he is supposed to be so dam smart
"Meh, lemme start over!"
Things are never what they're initially presented as with Trump CRuz...
(Guess everyone has bloopers, eh?)
I’m wondering if they’re not really on the Hellary payroll. Or, Jeb’s.
Something ain’t right ;-)
...on Trump's Resolute desk....
