Lots of people criticize Donald Trump,Philippines but one man is doing it in the most productive way possible.
Comedy writer and #TrumpLeaks creator Owen Ellickson started the GoFundMe page Give More Than Trump to raise more than $10,000 for the American Refugee Committee.
That's the amount Trump apparently gave to charities over the span of seven years, according to The Washington Post. So far, the page has more than tripled its goal, with over $34,000 raised.

The purpose of the fundraiser is to, literally, give more than Trump. And it cites research by a Washington Postreporter in coming up with the fundraising goal.
"According to the research of the great David Fahrenthold, in those seven years Trump gave a total of ten thousand dollars. Which leads to two thoughts: 1) Really, dude? That's it? Gross. 2) We can beat that."
"A donation will help people in need, including ... all the groups Trump has bashed."
The choice of charity wasn't a coincidence either.
"A donation will help people in need, including members of all the groups Trump has bashed (refugees, women, people of color, Muslims... boy, he's been busy)," the page said. "It will add one more pebble on the avalanche of humiliation that awaits him in November."
Ellickson has been a writer for NBC’s The Officeand is currently on staff for NBC’s Superstore. But he's also lit up Twitter with a little series called #TrumpLeaks.
#TrumpLeaks are satirical bits of conversation involving Trump that are created and tweeted out by Ellickson. Loyal fans of the hashtag were ready and willing to join Ellickson's charity efforts.
