Sites that auto-run videos should have the owner taken out and shot.
One or two and common sense would prevail.
$1.7 billion net worth
$20 million per year donations
So ~1% of net worth to charity per year.
Just calculated and that is about the same as me, so no stones cast, but also no great humanitarian awards.
Much better than most Democrats I suppose.
Charity donations, especially of land(or art) can be an excellent way to reduce taxes. Trump bought one piece of land for 3 million and then donated it to New York State estimating its value to be 100 million.

But has he donated his used underwear to charity and taken a tax deduction for it?
Now, let’s get into a conversation about Hillary donations!
The bogus Clinton Foundation has taken in a few hundred million quid over the past six years including the Clinton speaking fees, all donated tax free to the Foundation.
The CF has reported that about 38% of that went to “programs”,other expenses went to salaries, and only $100million was spent on “other expenses”, unidentified!
No skim fund there, nope, move along nothing to see here!
I love Trump, but understand the “open space” or land donation is a real estate developer thing that is often done as a part of any real estate development projects.
This is not a slam, but understand that land donations are often part of any project.
That said, Trump could have also made donations of appreciated land which is really a smart move, just like highly appreciated securities.
Trump is generous, but he is also smart. I hope he gets to run the country, he will be very fiscally conservative.
Look at his campaign expenditures. Trump knows how to work a nickel.
