I have two questions

Does anyone anywhere have any evidence that DJ Trump as ever done anything for anyone that did not benefit him more? You know your basic decent selfless act, no matter how small?

Has anyone ever mentioned ever seeing him attending a church service? Even Christmas Eve of Easter.... I do not attend church anymore but do not pretend I am a deeply religious person.

but regarding the latter, TMZ (not the gold standard in journalism, I know, but they have photos) reported this yesterday:

Donald Trump's turning to a higher power in the homestretch of the campaign.
The Republican presidential nominee was at St. Patrick's Cathedral Friday morning in NYC. Trump was flanked by Melania and his campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway.
He's denied all the recent allegations of sexual misconduct, and even promised to sue.
Still, if you're gonna pray with your wife ... this would be the right time.

And then there's this report that indicates that Don the Con must know God's limitations because he hasn't asked for the impossible...

Trump said he has not asked God for forgiveness for his actions.
"I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don't think so," he said. "I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture. I don't."

This article discusses role of church in Trump's personal romantic life:

http://articles.philly.com/1990-02-15/news/25884175_1_ivana-trump-jet-marla-maples

"NEW YORK — Donald Trump and the "other woman" met in - guess where - church.

Yes, it was romance among the pews, according to a source, giving the current flap over the breakup of the billionaire real estate tycoon's marriage a fresh, tongue-clucking twist.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told the Associated Press that Trump, 43, and actress-model Marla Maples, 26, sat together "fairly regularly at Sunday services at New York's venerable Marble Collegiate Church."

And to think, that was where Donald and Ivana were married almost 13 years ago."


So to answer your question NO- everything he does seems to either be for show- for self-gratification or self-aggrandizement to enhance his image and to appear "charming"- no instances I have seen of selfless charity as everything seems to be done to benefit him in some way
