What a cheapskate!

I was shocked to read how little "The Donald" gave to charity considering all his wealth.

Even more shocking to me is that SOB didn't give one red cent to any 9/11 funds.

Take a look at this:

I can't believe that! :mad:

I don't like rich people like that. In fact, I hope to not become rich and turn into someone who doesn't care about anyone else but themselves.

Even though not all rich people are like that, we are seeing that here with Donald.

That sucks if that is all Trump donated on any level and to any organization. But, what is the "Donald J. Trump Foundation?" It could be that Trump donated via another company or individually; the article does not say and names only that one organization - Trump owns namy organizations. Interestingly, here is an article that appears to cast Trump in a more charitable light in general toward the end of the article - to wit:

In any event, I am not defending "The Donald" - I am just shocked as you are that the "Donald J. Trump Foundation" -whatever that is - gave so little and hope that The Donald gave more via other methods. :cool:
