A fundamental error many of those on the uber-right make when discussing employment, is to assume that because entrepreneur X made a play in some development, and hence employees were hired, is that no one, not a soul on the planet, would have ever thought of such a plan (build a hotel or casino or such), and so that employment would have never have happened, had not the lad in question taken such a bold move. Who else would think, hey, let's build a tacky hotel that looks like it was cribbed from a B movie, and see if anybody comes? Only those with money not theirs, and more time on their hands than common sense in their heads.
The thing is, he or she invariably did not make the move to provide employment in an altruistic fashion, but to make a buck. Employment may come, or not, or come and be a bust, as it was in may of the Donald's efforts. In fact, he stands head and shoulders above an already dubious flock in regards to employee and contractor dissatisfaction, lawsuits, and various references to flim flam.
In general, business creates enterprises to make money, and will employ those necessary, and only those necessary, and at the lowest wages negotiable, to make such happen. When this happens, said punter does not provide for the livelihood of employees, they work for the modest amount they get, and in the America of today, that is very often modest indeed. It is usually the other way around, in that cheap labour provides for extravagant profit, and a handsome livelihood for the minimal efforts of the creative folks who thought up the idea that a hotel or gambling place might work...or not, as was often the case.
Trump's charities have been well recognized for flim flam and dodgey financial practices, and some of them are now under criminal investigation, if I am not mistaken. The US government, and thereby the US taxpayer, is certainly not a "charity" of the Trump, as he has dodged taxes for years, rather than pony up and pay along with the rest of those "millions" of workers who had no such dodges available to them.
