http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/nyc-official-no-evidence-trump-gave-10k-9-11-fund-n666631New York City's comptroller has found no evidence that Donald Trump gave $10,000 to a fund for 9/11 victims after the terror attack, and concluded that the GOP nominee "may have lied" about making a donation.
The office of Comptroller Scott Stringer conducted a review of donation records to the Twin Towers Fund and the New York City Public/Private Initiatives, Inc., to see if Trump had donated after the 9/11 attacks.
"Contrary to Donald Trump's claims, the Comptroller's Office found no evidence of a donation by Mr. Trump in the year following the attacks," according to an "Information Sheet on 9/11 Donation Review" provided to NBC News on Friday that summarizes the office's findings.
"As first reported by the New York Daily News, Donald Trump may have lied about donations given to the Twin Towers Fund in support of 9/11 victims and first responders. While he claimed to make a $10,000 donation to that fund, the Comptroller's review in response to Freedom of Information Law requests shows that no donation was made within a nearly 12-month window immediately following the tragedy," the information sheet quoted Stringer as saying.

Or even in the 100ks.
It says a lot about someone that they would not even give that much during 9/11. Even more so when the person is actually from there.

(50,273 posts)6. Today one of Trump's mouthpieces said he does things such as anonymously visit sick kids
in the hospital and that's the kind of good person he is. Right. If "The Donald" were doing such a thing it a) wouldn't be anonymous and b) would be a televised event. He is mentally incapable of thinking of anyone other than himself unless there is an ultimate reward for himself.
