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.

But in that time, public records show, Trump donated about $2.8 million — less than a third of the pledged figure — through a foundation set up to give his money away. And there is no evidence that Trump has given to his foundation lately: The last record of any gift from him to his foundation was in 2008.

How much has Elizabeth Warren given to charity? How many jobs has she created? How many jobs has Hillary the Harpy created? How much has she given to charity? Stories like this are intended for low information dolts who can't think for themselves and prefer to have their talking points spoon fed to them.

But I will take a Donald, who has created a lot of wealth and hundreds of thousands of jobs over angry white women who bloviate with Communistic populism, have never met a payroll, never created anything and have been feeding at the Government trough their entire careers. DERP

Is Elizabeth Warren going around saying she given to charity?

Is she going around saying she created Jobs?

I always said that the biggest reason Trump doesn't want to release his taxes is because he doesn't want people to see how little he contributes to varuious charities.
