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!
The chair of Trump’s campaign gets $12.7 million in cash from a pro-Russian Ukranian puppet and you don’t hear a peep from the conservatives.Did he pay taxes on it?
It’s what conservatives have. No evidence, no testimony, no convictions (go on, say it), and no case. So they act like they’re smelling something. Something that’s not them.
Clearly you misunderstand the purpose of a “charitable foundation”. For future reference, the purpose of any and all charitable organizations is to enrich the officers and founders of such organizations, while forwarding as little as possible of the received funds to the group that supposedly benefits from the foundation. This definition is as old as time and is not likely to change just because a Clinton runs it.

Well, Gorrell’s GoComic “bio” says he does “comic features.” This is funny, isn’t it?
