XUL said: ... I guess charity is only important when it suits your narrative. ...
Hence my question, and even now, googling for Trump charity does not provide me with any insight about the donations you are talking about him making rather that he has a history of using charity just for a narrative
Quote:
President Trump has agreed to shut down his embattled personal charity and to give away its remaining money amid allegations that he used the foundation for his personal and political benefit, New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood announced Tuesday.
Underwood said that the Donald J. Trump Foundation is dissolving as her office pursues its lawsuit against the charity, Trump and his three eldest children.
The suit, filed in June, alleged “persistently illegal conduct” at the foundation, which Trump began in 1987. Underwood is continuing to seek more than $2.8 million in restitution and has asked a judge to ban the Trumps temporarily from serving on the boards of other New York nonprofit organizations.
Underwood said Tuesday that her investigation found “a shocking pattern of illegality involving the Trump Foundation — including unlawful coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated and willful self-dealing, and much more.”

Quote:
President Donald Trump should pay a $5.6 million penalty on top of $2.8 million in restitution for spending money from his charitable foundation on business and political purposes, the New York attorney general told a judge in seeking a ruling without a trial.
Neither Trump nor his three eldest children, all of whom had senior roles at the Donald J. Trump Foundation, have provided evidence rebutting the state’s claims that they failed to meet as a board, oversee grant-making or implement policies to protect the charity’s funds from abuse, New York Attorney General Letitia James said in court papers Thursday.
"In this vacuum of oversight and diligence, Mr. Trump caused the foundation to enter repeatedly into self-dealing transactions and to coordinate unlawfully with his presidential campaign," James said, citing the charity’s internal emails, government filings and admissions made under oath.
A judge is weighing the state’s request to ban Trump from serving on a New York not-for-profit for 10 years and bar his children for one year. Trump, who claims the case is politically motivated, agreed to shutter the foundation under an agreement that gives James oversight of how the charity’s remaining funds will be disbursed.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-03-15/trump-should-pay-5-6-million-penalty-over-charity-n-y-says
So again, will inquire was Trump giving his presidential salary to charity all this time because it was a good thing to do, which earns my praise this is especially of interest, because it would have presumably showed up in his recent tax returns and vindicated him against Democratic nosiness
or is Trump starting to give his presidential salary to charity now because he's embarassed about his taxes and wants to buy votes and get people to defend him as tho he is a victim?

hopefully you simply had a miscomprehension of my request for information it would be quite sad if Trump has left you so deranged that you take an honest inquiry about the nature of his charity as "beating up on" him

Shit, he doubled the price of membership at mar-a-lago. 2 or 3 memberships are more than his yearly salary, but yeah, he's a prince among men who donates his paychecks out of the goodness of his heart.
All US Presidents financially benefit from their presidency, that isn't anything unique to Trump.
Maybe not every president. But I mostly agree.

How many of your paychecks have you donated?

I can assure white children are being harassed all the time by non-white children in school.
A person I know works in a upper-class middle school that is most likely over 90% white. Just a few weeks ago, 5-6 black male students were reported to the principle by 10 white female students for verbal and sexual abuse. The girls were crying in the office and told him all of the abuse they have been receiving from these boys.
The result from the PC principle? He told them "to be cool" and gave them high fives as they walked out of his office.
Do you know why he did this? He's scared of losing his high paying job. If it was five white kids, he would have done the proper measures to ensure it didn't happen again. That doesn't happen in this new insane world we now live in, it's a total PC disaster today.

I'm going to refute that.
Leftists continually said Trump was colluding with Russia (lie) and he was guilty of tax fraud (lie).
With the "wolf's" clothing being removed, we can see that there is no wolf. Only slanderous leftists.

The tax fraud is clear. The New York Times won the Pulitzer Prize for their reporting on the tax schemes run by trump and his family. Trumps sister resigned her job as a federal judge (lifetime appointment) because of the storm that is coming.

I have to agree with Xul, the economy has never been so good in my lifetime and minority unemployment hasnt been this low...
Economic conditions are better than ever but if anyone is to blame for the division in this country its Obama, the divider & chief...and the Democrat party furthered that mantle...
In trump's 1st 2 years he did more than the last 4 presidents combined...
You want to talk deficits, the green new deal would cost 100+trillion$ and would be the end of America...so idk how anyone on the left would even have the stones to mention the deficit...remember who doubled it?

Wasnt it a NY Times editor caught by project veritas a year or so ago saying they knew the Russian narrative was fake but it sold well and they didnt like him so who cares, basically?
So ya, I'd trust them, as Washington post and Huffington, just bought and paid for propaganda companies owned by the left.. they havent been a trustworthy source of news in like 20yrs

So Obama got the unemployment rate from 10% to 4.7% and trump got it to 3.6%, and Trump is the one who did all the heavy lifting?
As for deficits, you don’t seem to even know the difference between a deficit and debt.

And the tax cuts were for almost everyone...if u paid no taxes then maybe you got stuck paying a little more, but I'm in no means wealthy but they are taking less than they were, so that's a tax cut for me...so I have to argue that it wasnt just for the rich...and the result of the lowered corporate tax was the return of many of the jobs Obama claimed were gone forever...billions back in the US economy that would have gone to some other country with a cheaper tax rate...we had one of the highest rates under Obama, businesses are here to make $. The higher you tax a company, the more expensive the product since they pass the cost onto the consumer...so it's a win for everyone...the more competition in the market, the better the prices and the quality
There are now 7mil more jobs than there are people to fill them...that causes wages to rise without the damage caused by forced minimum wage hikes.. it's so simple Idk why people have such a hard time seeing it...unless they just blindly hate the president to the degree he could solve world hunger and they would still hate him...

Welcome to the politics forum. You’re gonna have to do better than repeating things you heard Sean Hannity said. We covered these issues years ago. Bring something new to the table. Repeating Fox News taking points is boring.

Neither has trump. (BTW we are talking about annual growth. )
Obama had quarters way better than trump has seen. The best quarter under trump was 4.1% Obama was 5.1%

But thankfully hes gone, so it doesnt matter...when trump took office, the business market sucked...as a small biz owner my income got cut in half under Obama...so I despise his policies...Trump wasnt in office 2yrs and things improved exponentially..
