As a billionaire businessman based in the almost entirely blue state of New York, Trump donated to Democrat candidates. That's reasonable since, as an influential real estate developer in the Northeast, Trumps contributions may have not have had much to do with his political party more than they did about his business interests.

In reality, according to two authoritative databases of campaign finance data, OpenSecrets.org, for federal donations, and FollowtheMoney.org, for state-level donations, Trump has actually been relatively evenhanded in doling out cash to the two parties.

Since 1989, he has contributed over $350,000 more to Republicans running for federal and state offices, campaign finance records show. Data from the Federal Election Commission and state elections offices provided by the two websites show that Trump has given $584,850 to Democrats and $961,140 to the GOP over the last 26 years.

The list you posted should be titled, "A One-Sided List Of Trump Donations". Instead, you post it to deceive.
