I would rather see a list of the charities and the amounts given. We have no way of knowing whether the $102 million over the past five years has really been given to charitable organization on the front lines of if it has simply been placed into the Trump Foundation to get a charitable deduction from his income taxes with disbursements being made “at a later date”.

Right. He’s donated crap, or donated to himself. He’s a businessman. He’s not into charity. Unless it personally benefits him.

Nor do we know who set the valuation on those parcels he so graciously ‘donated’.

Just sayin’

Indeed, I’ve read that he takes credit for grants resulting from contributions made to his foundation by others, among other fancy bookkeeping strategies.
