Before Donald Trump was a Republican, He was a staunch Hillary supporter, a liberal who made a habit of donation money to liberal politicians. According to reports, the Donald donated $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
As Chris Sanchez with Business Insider reports:
Despite his recent criticism of the Clinton Foundation, Donald Trump apparently donated at least $100,000 to the organization, according to a 2009 tax document circulated online Tuesday night and foundation records.
The Clinton Foundation’s website shows “Donald J. Trump” under a list of individuals and organizations that donated between $100,000 and $250,000 to the foundation.
The foundation recently came under fire after Trump accused his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, of running a “pay-to-play scheme” during her time as secretary of state that allegedly awarded donors with special treatment.
Despite Hillary Clinton going on the record and denouncing any accusations of misconduct, Trump has called for an independent investigation into the matter in addition to demanding that the foundation be shut down entirely.
Before Trump decided he was a “conservative” he was known to champion progressive and liberal causes. He has donated money to several Democrats running for office over the years, including Hillary Clinton. Bill Clinton and Trump are friends, they play golf together and have had dinner together with their wives.
