Trump does give to charity, just not in cash. He “donates” vouchers for free rounds of golf, meals at his restaurants, and free nights at his hotels to charities, which then raffle them off to raise money. As private businesses, Trump decides on the “cash value” of the vouchers and then claims deductions on his income tax for these charitable contributions. The vouchers cost him nothing, and he gets a tax break from his “generosity”. You and I don’t own golf courses, restaurants and hotels, we actually have to fork over the cash, and we’re never going to recoup it all come tax time. That’s why it’s called “charity”. And yet, this walking diaper stain has found a way to make a sleazy buck off of it.
In closing, Trumps wonderful habit of charitable giving is nothing more than one more cheap con, meant to draw in both the suckers and the IRS at the same time. I wouldn’t donate a scarred nickel to the Trump Foundation, and unless you’re already investing in “end of the world nuclear bunker prepackaged survival meals”, neither should you!
