3. I remember when he was running and this information with the Trump Charities was being reported.

Another scam Trump would use would be to give away a Foursome round of golf at his courses to charities that solicited donations from him. Trump never gave cash donations. Trump would give the charity a round of golf for four at one of his clubs and assess it's value at $1250 or up depending on which course it was for. The charities would then auction off the foursome rounds but could never get more than a few hundred dollars at the most, because they were auctioning these things to ordinary folks, not millionaires and if they played a round of golf at a Trump course there were also other costs associated with the round of golf that ordinary people couldn't afford like golf cart rentals and food and beverages at the clubhouse which were sky high, so most of the donated rounds of golf went unused, so it was no skin off his back, but he would write it off as a charitable donation at his inflated value. Kind of like that Manufactured Suggested Retail Price on cars that no one ever pays.
