to his charitable foundation.
"New findings, for instance, show that the Trump Foundations largest-ever gift $264,631 was used to renovate a fountain outside the windows of Trumps Plaza Hotel.
Its smallest-ever gift, for $7, was paid to the Boy Scouts in 1989, at a time when it cost $7 to register a new Scout. Trumps oldest son was 11 at the time. Trump did not respond to a question about whether the money was paid to register him."

Suspect he has been doing it for years, he is YUUGE on spending other people's money.
Wonder if the kids are doing it...they have their own foundations.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
