Trump doesn't give money from his own pocket, but from dolts who give him the money, which he rakes off a percentage. this slime gets worse every day
Trump Hasnāt Given ANY Cash To Charity
Since he started running for president last summer, Donald Trump has claimed he has given more than $102 million to charity in the past five years.
The Trump campaign published a 93-page list of his contributions, but one thing was conspicuously absent: Trumpās own cash.
The Washington Post noted, āNot a single one of those donations was actually a personal gift of Trumpās own money.ā Hereās how cynical Trump is; as the Post reports, āThe largest items on the list were not cash gifts but land-conservation agreements to forgo development rights on property Trump owns.ā
Trump often used his Donald J. Trump Foundation to give gifts, although he did not give any money to the Foundation between 2009 and 2014.
Hereās how that $102 million breaks down, just to show where Trumpās priorities lie: $63.8 million for conservation easements on various properties; $26.1 million for land donated to the state of New York; $7 million from his Foundation, and $6.4 million for gifts made by Trumpās golf courses, hotels, and the Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
The Post noted:
When asked about The Postās analysis, a top Trump aide acknowledged that none of the gifts had come in cash from the billionaire himself. But, he said, that was because the list was not a complete account of Trumpās gifts. The aide, Allen Weisselberg, chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, said Trump had, in fact, given generously from his own pocket. But Weisselberg declined to provide any documentation, such as saying how much charitable giving Trump has declared in his federal tax filings.
As far as that $63.8 million for conservation easements, which entail a landowner agreeing to eschew certain kinds of development on his own land, hereās an example of Trumpās reputed generosity: in California, he agreed to an easement so he wouldnāt build homes on land near a golf course. But he still kept the land and made money; itās a driving range.
