In May, under pressure from the news media, Donald Trump made good on a pledge he made four months earlier: He gave $1 million to a nonprofit group helping veterans’ families.
Before that, however, when was the last time that Trump gave any of his own money to a charity?
If Trump stands by his promises, such donations should be occurring all the time. In the past 15 years, Trump has promised to donate earnings from a wide variety of his money-making enterprises: “The Apprentice.” Trump Vodka. Trump University. A book. Another book. If he honored all those pledges, Trump’s gifts to charity would have topped $8.5 million.

Quite honestly... I DON’T CARE who much or how little money he donated to charity. That’s not going to do anything to rescue our country from disaster!!
If anything, it’s GOOD that he’s so frugal with his money. It means he won’t be handing out billions of dollars to other countries for whatever lame reason like several past admins have wastefully done!
Must have looked to far. On those hacked documents from Hillary campaign Donald Trump is a donor in the 250,000 range.
That $6 million to the Vets doesn’t count, of course.
Yeah, but Hillary isn’t a “charity”, so it doesn’t count.
Actually, this article is probably defining “charity” incredibly narrowly in order to be able to make their claim.
He didn’t steal the furniture and china from the White House nor did he destroy all the “W’s” on the computer keyboards like the Klintons did. That is for certain.
So, where are the 20 so-called journalists at the Washington ComPost assigned to digging into the many "charities" (like Haiti's many hospitals and schools) built by the Clinton Foundation? Didn't think so.
Let’s talk about the Clintons’ used underwear donations to Goodwill then, shall we?
$10k is only what they could FIND, but since he hasn’t release his tax return, there’s no way they could ever know the full extent. Drawing conclusion from a limited investigation is foolish
That would be like, someone stealing $1 million from the bank. Police only find $1k in his wallet, and assume only $1k was stolen
None of it counts, whether confirmed or not, in any definition of truth, if the objective is simply to demonize The Donald. Taqqiya is alive and well at Washington Post, where all forms of prevarication and dissembling are only part of the entire full-court press being applied to any efforts to keep Herself from assuming the mantle of Queen Bee of North America.
Biden gave average of $369 to charity a year

It was to her foundation which is a charity per IRS.
Exactly! Where is the info on the Crime Family Foundation?
Like I said, the authors of the article are probably defining “charity” very narrowly so they can make the claim that Trump didn’t make any donations to “charities”.
Johnny Cash stole a car one piece at a time.
Baa haa. What would the Post know about the news media? That hate rag would make Julius Streicher proud.
Banned from Trump events.
LMAO

The Washington Dung Heap and their vassals of corruption are becoming desperate. We have Benghazi and other heavy weight issues to beat the Hildebeast with.
