CONFIRMED. Donald Trump Has Given $0 Of His Personal Funds To Charity
This all started innocently enough. ABC’s David Muir was asking a supremely undisciplined Donald Trump about his tax returns.

Trump’s CFO told us list wasn’t complete: @realdonaldtrump gave gifts that weren’t included. Trump doesn’t say that. https://t.co/ZdL8oznMP4

In a flash this was brought to the attention of the Washington Post’s David Fahrenthold. Farhrenthold has a been an utter pitbull in digging into Donald Trump’s philanthropic giving. It was Farhenthold who shamed Trump into actually giving money that had been collected for veterans’ charities to those charities. You can read my post on the subject here.
He noticed that Trump’s CFO had said the previous list of charities was incomplete. Now Trump is saying that the list is complete.
I’ll ask @realDonaldTrump campaign if this means my search is over, b/c there are no secret Trump gifts after all. https://t.co/ZdL8oznMP4

Heard from Hope Hicks: maintains that @realdonaldtrump *did* give $ from own pocket to charity, despite what he said https://t.co/ZdL8oznMP4

Here’s the list that @realdonaldtrump was referencing. Thousands of free rounds of golf, no $ from his own pocket. https://t.co/CEQQco8dim

When @realdonaldtrump said he was giving his own $ on air, it was other people’s $. https://t.co/4Xe6oI1jRM https://t.co/iXSo4f0r8H

Bingo. Let’s stop playing games here. Donald Trump, like so many other rich liberals, is very fond of donating other people’s money and taking credit, see Foundation, Clinton. But when it comes to his own money he is very, very cheap.
