Don’t attack, but why did he only donate 60k in the five years prior to running?
Perhaps he made personal donations that he did not want reported.
Since he’s likely to be the nominee, I would be GLAD, not sad, to be shown that he was generous with troops previously

I never judge people on how much they give to charity. That's their own business.
Also, when people brag about how much they give to charity - I am not impressed and I get suspicious about their true motives.

I was watching when they made the announcement and I thought it was great.
I was surprised when the spokes-gal said that $100,000 would allow for them to train only 5 dogs.

The bible tells us to give to charity silently and anonymously.
God does not honor those who give and then crow about it.

me neither, but when someone ALL OF A SUDDEN starts giving a whole lot to a charity he is not known for giving to, it’s a little STRANGE, no?
i know it’s politics and he’s trying to win, I just thought it would be obvious that it was politics and am as amazed as he probably is that his stunts work time after time :)
i’m proud of a fellow NYC con man :)
he will make great deals for the country if he stays this good at it!

The picture of the check has Trump’s name on it... Looks like he’s spent $100,000 on top of the million.

$60,000 to this small organization beats Hillary donation of used underwear to some charity, by a mile.
