I'll take whatever win I can get at this point. I just hope that it's actually going to good causes that will actually help people and not just bullshit money laundering "charity" shell games.

He has been making this kind of promise since the early 2000s, but never follows through. Just the goal post keeps moving to the right.

~~Tax~~ Eat the rich!
Here's the thing. Even if he lives up to this promise, it's still him deciding where that money should go, and it won't be towards long term support of social safety nets for the commoners. He should just have been paying his fair share of taxes all along and into the future.
Based on current spending, it will most likely be spent getting drinkable water to the majority of the world’s population.
I don’t like how he got his money, but he’s been reasonably responsible with it since his divorce.
That said, he has over $113b dollars. If he gives away 99% of it, he’ll still have over a billion dollars.

Why wait, just do it already.
Individuals hoarding wealth is bad for society.
Because he wants to benefit personally from his wealth and be seen as a good person.
And the idiots will keep eating it up

In 20 years, while still sitting on a mountain of money... All rich people are evil. The sooner people realize this, the better.

I've been sending his chain emails along since the 90s so he owes me some serious interest.
