The only exploiting going on is cRuz exploiting the voters and the system with this underhanded ‘ground game’.

While Trump will forever be remembered for the contributions he’s made to America and to Americans (jobs, charitable donations, personal assistance to our dear vets, on and on) cRuz will forever be remembered as a snake and a charlatan...and a Canadian who had no business running for POTUS.

Trump claims to be worth over $10 Billion.

The median wealth in America is about $45,000.

His gift of $100,000 is equivalent to the average American giving $0.45. But the average American would not send a press release to brag about it.

Googling on Trump donations to 9/11: Source

It took running for President to get Donald Trump to travel the 4 miles between his glitzy Fifth Ave. digs and Ground Zero.

Nor did the billionaire’s charitable foundation make a single substantial donation to any 9/11-related nonprofit groups that have aided survivors, rescue workers and the families of first responders who gave their lives trying to save others.

A campaign aide has said Trump made a significant donation to the American Red Cross immediately after 9/11.

The dealmaker did take a $150,000 federal grant for his building at 40 Wall St., via a program meant to help small businesses affected by the attacks.

$150K federal grant.. Looks like a $50K profit on it! Go Donald! :)

Didn’t find it in your post; here’s the link to your NBC story:

http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/donald-trump-makes-100-000-donation-9-11-museum-n553536

Which includes, as part of the Trump campaign’s statement:

“This is what ‘New York values’ are really all about,” the statement concluded, making a shot at rival Ted Cruz how used the term “New York Values” earlier in the primary process to question Trump’s conservatives.

Ha! Mr Holier Than Thou tightwad? He hasn’t even donated $200K to any charities in TX.

The only thing cRuz donated in Texas were teddy bears and soccer balls to ILLEGALS!!

His PAC donated $500K to Carly, though.

Does that count....for good will?

Rudy are Trump are similar inasmuch as they’re both pretty enthusiastic about killing babies, including partial-birth abortion, and both sing the praises of Planned Parenthood.

A median and an average are two different mathematical calculations. One does not necessarily equal the other.

And what would Cruz do? Oops I guess we will never know because first one has to give in order to decide if he will announce it or not.

Bribery is just one “NY value” that is under appreciated by most of America: Exceptions being places like Chicago, Detroit, and basically any major city run by democrats.

$100,000 towards to the Tiger Woods Foundation.

And those are just the publicized acts of generosity.

According to his tax returns, Ted Cruz gives less than one tenth of one percent of his sizable income to charity.

Wow that much huh? Ain't tRump special.

Heck I would mail that much in but the stamp would cost more.

But to tRump it is all in perception and how the Reality TV game is played. How much smoke you can blow in the room and fool the masses with your deceptions and still keep your reality TV show on the air.

Because when the Applause Light comes on you want that audience pounding those hands together in the crowd so that the people watching on the boob tube think they missed something and will stick around through the commercials. It is all in how you sell the DEAL to the masses. I read the book tRump. I know your game.

PACs do not belong to the candidate or did you not know that.

There are rules that separate the PACs from the candidate but you continue the lies.

Read up on these rules and educate yourself on them.

He should. He exploits 9/11 more than Chris Christie did.

Unwashed, uncouth, and being a low life son of a camel from the barn yard is a tough way to go through life. You are a sad example of a FReeper.
