In response to T.P.F.K.A.D.W.

This is a pretty good article documenting the Trump families donations to Penn.

The lack of charity relative to their supposed level of wealth is paltry considering how Trump repeatedly trumpets his Wharton pedigree as proof of his intellectual prowess.

I was at Citicorp in the 80's. We had loaned Donald Trump a lot of money. He was flat broke and technically bankrupt. He squandered his father Fred's fortune. We kept him afloat and baby sat him through the economic downturn because this was preferable to taking possession of his assets. Had Trump simply held onto the real estate empire Fred had built in Brooklyn and Queens he'd be so much wealthier than he is today.

Before the banks were considered too big to fail in the last downturn, it was people like Donald Trump who were considered too big to fail by his lenders. It's ironic that so many who railed against efforts to keep our banks afloat and our auto industry in business supported and still support him.
