The billionaire claims he has given $102 million to charities in past five years when in reality, not a single donation came out of his own bank account.

Trump’s foundation is largely funded by others, the Post said, but the NY mogul does decide where the money and gifts are donated.
Trump Revealed will offer, per Scribner, “the most thorough and wide-ranging examination of Donald Trump’s public and private lives to date, from his upbringing in Queens and formative years at the New York Military Academy, to his turbulent careers in real estate and entertainment, to his astonishing rise as the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination”.

The White House hopeful also took charitable credit for “2,900 free rounds of golf, 175 free hotel stays, 165 free meals and 11 gift certificates to the spa”.
The second largest donation was a payment to a man who settled a lawsuit with one of Trump’s golf courses after the club denied a hole-in-one prize.

A “comprehensive” Washington Post book about Donald Trump and his run for the presidency will be published August 23, whether or not he’s the GOP nominee. Serena Williams, for example, is listed as a charitable contribution of $1,136.56.
