Trump Charities
Trump Organization ^ | 12/27/2015 | Erick Trump

Posted on 12/27/2015 7:52:12 AM PST by GilGil

Founded in 2006, The Eric Trump Foundation (ETF) is dedicated to raising money for children battling life-threatening diseases at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

To date, ETF has donated and pledged nearly $30 million dollars to St. Jude. By using Trump-owned facilities, full-time volunteers and donated goods and services, The Eric Trump Foundation maintains one of the lowest expense ratios of any foundation in the country.

Some are rabid on this forum demanding that Trump donate more to charity. A simple google of the charitable activities of Eric, Ivanka, and Melania Trump shows how many hundreds of millions they have raised. Even Donald Trump has donated over a hundred million in the last few years. All you have to do is a simple google to see that. In the link provided you can see how involved Eric Trump is. People who demand Trump needs to donate seem more driven by hate than by the truth!

Put the Trumps up against any politician and let’s see who’s more charitable.

That said, it really shouldn’t matter.

I think those who are pushing the “Trump is a cheap SOB” meme are doing no favors to their preferred candidate.

All you have to do is a simple google and if you are honest you see they are involved and have been involved for a long time in their favorite causes. Those who criticize Trump for lack of charitable work are really not honest and filled with hate for the guy. The Trump organization has donated and raised hundred of millions. It is there for all to see.

But....but...I just read right here on FR that Trump is a cheap SOB. Of course, that person is a self-proclaimed devout Catholic who needs to find fault with anyone who isn't as "holy as him" so no surprise there.

Funny how so many "religious" folks find some really un-religious ways to go about getting a Conservative elected - nobody can live up to their standards because they give Jesus a run for His money....

I sometimes wonder why they engage in a political Forum when it's obvious that nobody deserves their vote.

I would like to see all the candidates match the level of charitable giving of the Trump Organization. Not one can get even close. Combined the candidates can’t even match the Trump Organization that includes all the democrat candidates.

And, we know the Clintons’ favorite charity is the Clintons themselves.

By all signs he seems like he’s raised some nice, upstanding sons and daughters. They are hard working and very charitable.

We need to see more of this type of thing...we need to see how he lives his life, not so personal, but giving...

He helped a wounded warrior that he left the podium and went down and got his name, and within 10 days, the warriors papers were completed, filed and money coming in, he could go to a doctor and hospital 10 minutes from where his family lived instead of an hour and a half drive...

Trump is more than just a businessman, he is an American First, knows what it’s like to build a business and have it prosper like America should be, he can do this!!!

California stands a very good chance of going Republican for the first time since Reagan. LINK
