There's something fishy about Donald Trump's charitable donations
"....Trump's foundation began in 1987 and exists to donate money to other charities.
It has no staff, and its annual IRS filings have regularly listed Trump's average time spent on it as "minimal" or zero hours a week. The foundation has given out $3.6 million between 2011 and 2013, the most recent year in which its finances are available.
The overwhelming majority of its recent gifts have been made with other people's money.
NBC Universal, World Wrestling Entertainment and high-end, sporting and entertainment event ticket-reseller Richard Ebers are among the largest donors; Trump made his last significant donation, of $30,000, in 2008.
Until late last year, Trump was described as an "ardent philanthropist" in a biography posted to the Trump Organization's website. That language has since been removed.
As with Trump's politics, his donations do not fit neatly within traditional ideological lines: In 2012, he donated to the Gay Men's Health Crisis - founded by gay rights activist Larry Kramer - and the Billy Graham Evangelical Association, which decries the influence of the "gay lobby" and offers support to people pushing loved ones to "seek freedom from homosexuality."
A sizable portion of Trump's giving appears to be geared toward charities prominently affiliated with celebrities or politicians."....
You sure spend a lot of time digging into Trump’s personal life, don’t you? You truly are a paid operative, and can deny it all you want, but, most of us on here know the truth about who you are. Here’s a newsflash for you: All charities give to others with money people have donated. DUH, what part of that don’t you understand? Trump has given to many things from his own pocket that haven’t gone through his charity. You really are a desperate, despicable person, aren’t you? I’m done with you for now, Mrs. Will. Oh, by the way, Trump just made a $1 million dollar donation-to veteran’s groups - so, your information is totally out-of=date. Try again, hack!
You post articles and snips of others' words, to "prove" what you yourself are incapable of of writing, no matter WHERE nor WHOM they come from...just as long as the somehow trash, brash, and impugn Trump.
You are a passive-aggressive, who likes to play the "innocent", by stating "OH, THOSE AREN'T MY WORDS, I JUST POST THINGS ", to hide what you are so obviously doing. And you're a game player, but never win; though you don't realize it at all.
And just WHEN did you become so "religious" ? You never were before, nor could you be found in the religion section of FR.
Am I calling you out?
YOU BET I AM!
Here's one for ya....though the Cruzes brought home very hefty paychecks last year, their combined charitable giving amounted to less than 1% ! Stick THAT in your pipe and smoke it!
And one last thought.....yes HIV/AIDS is mostly a homosexual disease; however, others can and do contract it too, though thankfully less than they used to. But YOU, you great and mighty CHRISTIAN think that it is just terrible that Trump donated money to help those suffering from this disease. WOULD YOU RATHER THAT THEY ALL DIED FROM IT...INCLUDING THE HEMOPHILIACS WHO GOT CONTAMINATED BLOOD?
Yet YOU heartily approved of TED & GLENN handing out teddy bears and soccer balls to the INVADING HORDES OF DAMNED ILLEGAL ALIENS, WELCOMING THEM INTO THE NATION, TO FEED OFF US.
