Donald Trump and Joe Biden at the final debate before the presidential election. Based on available tax returns from 1998 to 2019, the Bidens have given a total of $1.4 million to charitable causes. Once Biden entered the White House as vice president in 2009, the couple ramped up their charitable giving. While the Bidens’ charitable giving is fairly transparent because they made two decades’ worth of tax returns public, Donald Trump’s charitable efforts remain murky. Without the sitting president’s tax returns (only a few pages of his 2005 tax returns have been made public by a journalist who received them in the mail), what is known about his charity is piecemeal and oftentimes unsubstantiated.
