Discussion: WH: Trump To Give 'A Million Dollars Of Personal Money' To Harvey Relief Aid

2 Likes

ā€œWill that be coming from Trump personally as opposed to the Trump Foundation or the Trump Organization?ā€ a reporter asked, citing Trumpā€™s charitable foundation (currently under investigation) and his business.

ā€œI know that the President, he said he was personally going to give. I donā€™t know the legal part of exactly that,ā€ Sanders said. ā€œBut he said his personal money, so I would assume that comes directly from him.ā€

Soā€¦ that answer is ā€˜yes, heā€™ll be giving away millions of dollars of money other people donated to his Foundation, in a couple of years maybe, when reporters hound him into it like the 10,000 he gave away to veteransā€™ groups.ā€™

Gotcha.

The White House later corrected its statement and said Trump plans to use 5% of the proceeds from the sale of his branded merchandise up to $1,000,000 as a donation to Hurricane Harvey victims.

Personal money?
Not Trump Foundation money?
Not a chance in hell.

A Trump pledge to donate is not worth the air used to say itā€¦

Just ask the guy who got the hole-in-one to win a million dollars at a Trump eventā€¦

Donald Trump does not ā€œhaveā€ empathy, he ā€œpurchasesā€ it.

Now donā€™t be so cynical, people. I think Trumpā€™s got the money these days. Heā€™s been charging his own Secret Service so much theyā€™re broke. Multiply that times every favor-seeker in the entire frickinā€™ world.

Sarah, if I were you, Iā€™d be careful assuming anything about Donald ā€“ youā€™ve made an ass of yourself enough to last two lifetimes already.
