We’re already used to bias attitude of the media. It is a well-known fact they favored Hillary Clinton and did pretty much everything they could to help her win, but unsuccessfully. Since the moment he announced a bid for the White House, Donald Trump faced the ruthless media representatives who constantly published news reports with zero truth in order to discredit him. On numerous occasions, they accused him of using his charity foundation to make more profit and that a vast portion of the money doesn’t even go to the needy. Donald Trump decided it’s about the time they stop with the nonsense.
The President-elect took to his Twitter account on Monday night and said: “I gave millions of dollars to DJT Foundation, raised or received millions more, ALL of which is given to charity, and media won’t report!”

He also added that unlike many other foundations, his never paid rent, fees, expenses, or any salaries and confirmed that everything i.e. 100% of money went to charitable causes it was intended for. Of course, the incoming president referred to his Donald J. Trump Foundation which he will shut down due to conflict-of-interest issues.
The DJT Foundation, unlike most foundations, never paid fees, rent, salaries or any expenses. 100% of money goes to wonderful charities!

Washington Post’s David Fahrenthold replied to Donald Trump by submitting a link to a story titled “Trump boasts about his philanthropy. But his giving falls short of his words.”
.@realDonaldTrump gave his Fdn $5.5M since 87 (but $0 btw '08 and '15). Others gave $9.3M. Read the full story: https://t.co/GyunBZDhGX https://t.co/CrrNQqcabO
