I guess if someone wants to do a little digging they can find that he really does support veterans groups, health & research groups, conservative groups and religious groups, etc.
From
Life News:
However, it bears noting that Trump has not directed a significant percentage of his tax-exempt philanthropy to political causes, as other political figures have. The majority of his grants are to causes such as the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, American Red Cross, American Diabetes Association, multiple grants to Ronald McDonald House of New York, and numerous grants to veterans causes.
Also, the political donations he made have not shown a clear pattern, even on this issue. He gave three-times as much money to an organization that fought against same-sex “marriage” as he did to GLSEN. He has also made numerous grants to conservative political organizations and Christian ministries. Jerry Falwell Jr. cited those donations in his laudatory introduction of Trump at Liberty University shortly before he endorsed the business tycoon.
The long knives are really out today.
Seems like trash Trump day everywhere I look.
“He gave three-times as much money to an organization that fought against same-sex ‘marriage’ as he did to GLSEN.”
I read that too. Trump has done many commendable things. Much of his philanthropy is among them. However, this is an egregious oversight (at best). GLSEN is like NAMBLA but just better organized and more pro-active.
Trump has been using the same tactic as Obama did to get support. He is a blank slate. He is what people want him and imagine him to be. He does not have an underlying philosophical view of conservatism. He simply identifies as conservative. Whether he will govern conservatively is, at best, a gamble.
I was fairly supportive of Trump at first. Now I really hope Cruz can beat him because I am starting to see that Trump will probably do tremendous damage to the conservative cause if he is elected president (and we can’t afford to have Clinton or Sanders in after the past seven years of destruction). Three things made me change my mind about Trump:
1. He praised Planned Parenthood.
2. He viciously, dishonestly attacked the most conservative candidate in the race.
3. He said he could work with Pelosi and Reid.
These little tale-tale signs made alarm bells go off for me big time. It is POSSIBLE Trump will govern conservatively. It is a YUGE gamble though. One I would prefer not to make. I am voting for Cruz in Texas tomorrow and taking other family members to do the same.
