Donald Trump has touted his history of giving to good causes, with his campaign saying he’s donated more than $102 million to charity over the past five years. But not one of those donations was a personal gift from the GOP front-runner’s own money. The majority of the gifts in the document came from the real estate mogul’s charity, the Donald J. Trump Foundation – however, the most recent tax records available show that Trump did not personally give any money to his foundation from 2009 through 2014. The funding for the foundation is provided largely by other people, most notably World Wrestling Entertainment executives Vince and Linda McMahon. Trump has often used the foundation to donate to friends’ charities and groups that do business at his clubs and hotels. Some recipients are not even charities at all, but rather clients, other businesses, “conservatives who could help promote Trump’s rise in the Republican party” and tennis star Serena Williams. The list provided by Trump’s campaign “reveals how Trump has demonstrated less of the soaring, world-changing ambitions in his philanthropy than many other billionaires. Instead, his giving appears narrowly tied to his business and, now, his political interests.” Asked for comment, a top Trump aide acknowledged that none of the items in the document were cash donations from Trump himself

White House walks back promise about Trump donating his ‘personal money’ to Harvey victims On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters that President Trump would donate $1 million of his “ personal money” to Hurricane Harvey victims. But on Friday, she wasn’t so sure. Asked by a reporter if she knew whether Trump’s donation would be “coming from his own money or from the Trump Foundation,” Sanders dodged. “I haven’t had a chance to do that,” she said, suggesting she hadn’t yet had a chance to ask the president where the money would be coming from. During the campaign, reporting by the Washington Post’s David Fahrenthold and others demonstrated that Trump treated his foundation — which he hadn’t personally donated to since 2008 — like a personal expense account. Trump was also shown to have repeatedly exaggerated his giving.
