Show Us the Money, Donald!

[Howey]

Another claimed yuuuuuge donation, another lie. *sigh*

Last October, at a rally in Las Vegas, a friend of Donald Trump's introduced the mogul-turned-candidate with a story about Trump's generosity.

"You won’t hear this in the media, but Donald gave $20 million to the St. Jude children’s home. Twenty million dollars," said Phil Ruffin, the owner of the Treasure Island casino, which was the site of the rally.

The crowd cheered. Trump mouthed "Thank you" twice and waved.

"He could have used that $20 million for television ads, but he decided to give with children with cancer," Ruffin said. "That’s Donald Trump."..

If Ruffin's story were true, then Trump's gift to St. Jude would appear to be, by far, the largest charitable donation of Trump's life.

But when The Washington Post looked for evidence to back up Ruffin's story it could find none.

At St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, a world-famous cancer center in Memphis, spokeswoman Kelly Schulz said they had never announced a large gift of this kind from Trump. St. Jude's does not release detailed information about donors, so The Post could not determine what — if anything — Trump has donated to St. Jude's from his own pocket.

A spokeswoman for Ruffin, Michelle Knoll, said she had seen no evidence that would verify Ruffin's claim. She said Ruffin was out of the country now, and could not be reached. She said that Ruffin's staff had heard him repeat the story on other occasions.

Why did you leave out the sentence right before that?

If, in fact, Trump donated 20m to St. Judes, why wouldn't he list it here, among all the land trades and free rounds of golf?

Missing from Trump’s list of charitable giving: His own personal cash

Oh, and you also missed the last paragraph:

In February 2015 — a few months before Ruffin's comments — Eric Trump's foundation announced that it had acquired naming rights to a surgical and intensive-care center at St. Jude's. To get those rights, Eric Trump's foundation made a pledge to raise a large amount money for St. Jude's over the next 10 years.

The amount that Eric Trump pledged to give? $20 million.

Are you really that stupid?

I understand you guys all more used to Trumpenglish, but that means "If Donald Trump had donated 20m to us, it would be in YUUUUUGE headlines"

Question: If Trump had made this donation, wouldn't it be on the tax deductions listed? And wouldn't it be a YUUUUUGE tax deduction?

This is why we need to see his tax returns. And why he won't release them. Too full of skeletons.
