Trump Didn't Make Any Contributions To 9/11 Charities

Donald Trump has been talking about 9/11 an awful lot lately, mostly in response to a relentlessly scrutinized comment that Ted Cruz made about “New York values.” Cruz has pointed out that he was making the same point Donald Trump himself made in a 1999 interview, that liberal values and conservative values are not the same, and that New York City is dominated by liberal values. A fairly commonplace observation, and one that Trump even specifically expanded on to use the example of Iowa values as a counterpoint to the values of New Yorkers.

Trump jumped on the remark at the Republican debate last week to deliver what some took to be a heartfelt shaming of Ted Cruz for supposedly “insulting” and denigrating the memories of the lost; an exchange which most commentators and opinion writers even on the right scored as a win for Trump.

Whether you accept or reject the billionaire’s twisted interpretation of Senator Cruz’s remarks, IRS documents show one thing for certain: Donald Trump didn’t put his money where his mouth (currently) is.

According to a thorough review, Trump didn’t see fit to give any of those millions of dollars he is always bragging about to help out the men, women, children, cops, firefighters, office workers … hey, let’s just call them New Yorkers, who were killed or who lost someone in the terror of September 11th. In fact, his supposedly philanthropic foundation hasn’t given them a single penny. Cont.
