And so what is your point?

My point is that Trump is miserly.

That is an important measure of character for me, especially for someone who purports to be a Christian.

Didn’t he give $5 million to Beck’s Save-The-Christians deal?

Possibly if we read Matthew 6:1-4, we would understand more.

From the NIV: 1“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

2“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

In our family, even our tax accountant does not know the extent of our charity.

Who are you going to compare as a candidate? I remember reading of the Clinton's "charity" when Bill was President. Contributions were almost nonexistent, and some were incredible. They gave Bill's old underpants to some outfit and claimed a deduction of $3.50 per pair.
