Trump Made No Donations To 9/11 Charities [Opinion]
The Smoking Gun ^ | 03 Nov 2015 | William Bastone

Billionaire was a zero in aftermath of terror attack


In the aftermath of the 2001 terror attack on the World Trade Center, Donald Trump, a billionaire son of New York City, did not make a single charitable donation to any of the not-for-profit groups that provided aid to survivors, rescue workers, or the families of cops and firemen who died trying to save others, Internal Revenue Service records show.

While business moguls raced to write seven-figure checks and schoolchildren emptied their piggy banks, Trump’s charitable foundation--the vehicle through which the Republican presidential candidate’s philanthropy trickles--apparently did not feel the need or responsibility to offer such financial help.

Trump, who frequently reminds the public that he is worth TEN BILLION DOLLARS, is president of the Donald J. Trump Charitable Foundation, which the developer founded nearly 30 years ago. . . .

Ted isn’t pimping the 9/11 tragedy for political gain.

LOL - what has Cruz donated to? His father’s church maybe. Anything else? Oh, forgot, illegal children at the border but what else?

No wonder he’s rich. Scrounge would approve of this hypocrite who cries crocodile tears over 9/11 but did nothing to help the families of those brave men and women he talked about. Better people all over the country gave to New Yorkers at that time, as those who really care do.

Not a Cruze folk, but let me see if I understand you, It’s ok for Trump and his people to attack Cruze using 9/11, but Trump is off limits as far as 9/11? That’s a little ridiculous, no?

Our tax returns are private. I wondered how these guys got a hold of Trump’s tax returns. I don’t think he has released them to the public from over a decade ago or any others, but he file with the Federal Election Committee that his distractors didn’t think Trump would do... as we know.

It was the Cruz folks who trashed Trump for it.

When they do it, don’t you think I have a free shot?

I do.

Thanks, DO.

I actually read the Smoking Gun article, which was not objective in the least. Far down, it contained a word I had ever heard before, accusing Trump of being a “starf...er”.
You can guess the three missing letters.

How nice.

Oh look, there’s Trump in a photo with the woman whose political career he is ending.

Thank you for posting that.

Nobody else ended her career, so he stepped in to do it.

Gotta love that guy.

No, Cruz is pimping religion for personal gain. He’s selling a fairy tale social conservative agenda he has no hope of enacting as POTUS because he’ll never get it through a rotten to the core Congress. I really feel sorry for the folks he has duped into believing it can be done.

If you’re even considering voting for Sanders, I suggest you find another forum to post. No conservative would EVER even in their most deluded moment consider voting for an ADMITTED communist. Yikes.

Yeah, I can imagine.

A number of FReepers have taken that route with him too.

Cruz cannot win. No Dem will vote for him.

Slamming Donald Trump for not openly giving to a certain group of charities? Come on, we are better than the media, or are we just slaves to their opinions?

The DC entrenched and their media are going after Trump as hard as they can and one good way to finish him off is to influence the right wing Repubs. They are having great luck this weekend in FR.

Trump is extremely generous with his money. There are so many needs in this country and we’ve all seen how much he throws in each week on Celebrity Apprentice to the various charities. This is one of a million silly topics to try and get rid of Trump today.

It is also the last thing on Cruz’s mind. The only thing he cares about is his pocket and power. His voting record shows it. He is anything BUT conservative.
