The Trump Foundation, by most accounts, isn’t a real charity. The Trump Foundation has also come under scrutiny after it was revealed earlier this year that Trump only put money into his charity until 2007, that too in small amounts, after which he stopped funding it completely.
Following this, the charity basically started asking for donations which it then used to make donations. Tax records from this period also show that two of these donors were Vince and Linda McMahon who gave big donations to Trump’s charity in 2007 and 2009.

According to the Washington Post, the single biggest donation The Trump Foundation received from the McMahon’s was in 2007 which amounted to $4 million.
