    It’s not charity to give money to an organization you (or friends or relatives) control, it’s a way to keep your assets under your control without having to pay taxes that would otherwise be required.

      It is if that charity uses the money to help people. So any accusation needs to actually look at the financials of those orgs to see where the money is going.

      That would be true if he were secretly using those charities to enrich himself but there’s no evidence of that at all.

        I think you’re missing the point - it’s not that he’s enriching himself - he’s already done that. It’s that the charity carries out his will, not necessarily the will of people who need charities.
