Trump, a man without a moral compass

Everybody liked Trump, gave him awards etc until he ran against the hag. How moral is that? To go after a guy you previously praised because he decided to run against your candidate doesn't sound moral to me. It's intellectually dishonest and duplicitous.

Talking about Trump's charitable giving is a joke. From 2001 to 2015 he gave $3.9 M to charity. During the same period, Bill and Hillary Clinton gave almost $24 M. Considering that the Clinton's net worth is around $50 milllion and Trump's net worth is around $3.5 billion; $3.9 million is pathetically small.

And, Bill and Hillary Clinton provide one hundred per cent of the funding for Clinton Family Foundation (Not to be confused with the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation) Trump has not made a contribution to the Trump Foundation since 2008. All of its funding comes from outside sources.

Trump is also famous for making loud public promises of donations to popular causes and quietly not following through.

Look, this is pretty simple. Everything bad you say about Bill and Hillary Clinton is true about Donald Trump. Everything good you say about Donald Trump is true about Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Do you have an independent source for these numbers, showing where the money comes from and where it goes?

And as long as we are presuming to judge others based on limited knowledge, I would put the Clintons and the Donald on an even footing when it comes to being pathetically small and greedy. Your paragons of virtue famously once itemized a donation of used underwear as a $2 tax deduction. Talk about pathetically small.

My source for that is the NY Times. Hardly independent, but I think believable in this case.

But you're keeping score with Howie Carr based on donations that the media reports on.

Gotta love off topic....

Thread is about Trump and his lack of moral compass. Article proves otherwise. Waiting for others mentioned to pony up.

I hear crickets.

Lots of praise in Harris county right now for everybody.

The scams are starting though.

My wife's business Fed a lot of hungry people for free until the scammers starting showing up. Now is the time to see the character of people

Trump did a great job so far. His people did anyway

It was Trump and it wasn't T-bones and lobster. At the very least, he showed up to let people know he and we will be there for them. It's more than I can say for some of his critics.

At least Trump did not make his money selling political favors and influence.

True. He made his money buying them.

That's great! And the fact that he admits it is one reason he got elected

So if you are buying it you are a stud, but if you are selling it you are a slut?

The thread was started weeks ago and I read the article. It didn't mention any Trump donations.

Did you read the article?

Getting back to the thread title for a second, Trump wasn't elected because of his morals (or lack thereof).

Once that is understood (and it should be, really, a basic thing), this entire thread becomes moot.

It is not easy for people to have the moral standards of a Bill Clinton. Or a Hillary Clinton

Trump is JESUS CHRIST compared to those two scum bags.

boy aint that the truth.

[Nutz and Boltz]

Of course, Tom would question Jesus and his morals and motives !

[reckless]

What we really need is a thread called: (out of the mainstream) Liberal Media, an industry without a moral compass.
