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 Trump’s charitable foundation (currently under investigation) and his business.

ā€œI know that the President, he said he was personally going to give. I don’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€

So… that answer is ā€˜yes, he’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 veterans’ groups.’

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.

I think David Fahrenthold gets put on this. Just a guess.

Knowing Don the Con, the donation will all actually come from Vlad Putin.

A Trump pledge to donate is not worth the air used to say it…

Just ask the guy who got the hole-in-one to win a million dollars at a Trump event…

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

Now don’t be so cynical, people. I think Trump’s got the money these days. He’s been charging his own Secret Service so much they’re broke. Multiply that times every favor-seeker in the entire frickin’ world.

Sarah, if I were you, I’d be careful assuming anything about Donald – you’ve made an ass of yourself enough to last two lifetimes already.
