Then we'd be able to judge how charitable the new President is.

I hope you know how little I would be impressed by someone whose only charitable contributions were to dressage.

10. Should be noted

He also gave away every cent of the $1.4 million dollar prize money he received from the Nobel committee, most of it also going to help children and young people through scholarships.

17. salary of $400,000 per year

[mopinko]

18. that aint a lot of money, and it is expensive to live in that house.

the stuff they have to pay for includes a mark up for salaries and all that. it's like gettin a band aid in the hospital.

Trump took other people's money they had donated to 'the Trump charity' to buy portraits of himself to put in his hotels and resorts.
