[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Conservatives perseverate over George Soros.  It's fascinating to me. But since you are, a billion is a mere 4% blip for him.  Soros has given 11 billion to philanthropic causes.  If Trump would have followed this example, he should have donated 2 billion by now.[/quote]

Trump is a cheap, he also does not have 2 billions to donate. [/quote]

Or he could be like Obama and donate just .4% to charity.
What a roll model of charitable giving our president was.
 :roll:  :oops:  :oops:  :oops:

But typical of a liberal - do what I say, not as I do.

You seem to be caught in #FactFreeNation. LMGTFY:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/beltway/2016/04/20/president-obamas-2015-income-tax-return/#744cfd41a5b1

[i]Like millions of other Americans, President and Mrs. Obama filed their 2015 tax return shortly before Monday’s deadline. Unlike most of us, they also posted their return on the White House website for everyone to see. In many ways, their return paints a picture of a typical high-income working household—with one major exception: [b]The Obamas gave much more generously to charity than most, even more than most of their fellow one-percenters.[/b]

More than 90 percent of the first couple’s income came from the president’s salary—the same $400,000 the country has paid its commander -in-chief since 2001 (reduced this year by a few thousand dollars for some unstated reason). The president also earned about $56,000 in book royalties and only a few hundred dollars from investments. After subtracting contributions to a retirement plan, a deduction for Medicare tax on the president’s income as an author, and $3,000 of capital losses, the couple’s adjusted gross income (AGI) totaled $436,065.

Like about a third of taxpayers—and nearly all high-income households—the Obamas itemized deductions. They reported more than $48,000 of state and local taxes, over $36,000 of mortgage interest, and $64,000 donated to charitable causes. The first two are fairly typical of people at the Obama’s income level but [b]giving away about 14 percent of income is unusually generous, far more than the 2 percent Americans typically give away.
