ā€œThe President and First Lady continue to pray for the people of Texas and Louisiana.ā€

If the rest of the story is as truthful as that line, they gave nothing.

Iā€™d like to thank all the taxpayers of America, whose monies have been funneled into Trump businesses over the past several months, for making these donations possible.

If he actually gave the money, good for him. Now how about helping those poor folk in Puerto Rico devastated by Hurricane Irma?

And if he werenā€™t president how much would he have given?

Hereā€™s how he picked the amounts to the charities:

ā€œCā€™MON!..NOWHAMMIESNOWHAMMIES ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNDā€¦STOP!ā€

As my late great-aunt from Connecticut used to say:

Donā€™t hang by the neck, waiting.

Doesnā€™t he get the Red Cross money back through the Mar A Lago laundromat?

Pledging and actually giving are not one and the same.

A surprisingly large amount went to an obscure organization named ā€œSave The Trumpsā€.

Apparently, it plays a vital role in assisting the children of strapped New York real-estate developers.

Itā€™s rescued literally tens of disadvantaged trust-fund babies in Midtown Manhattan and the Upper East Side.

Over shopping is an underappreciated scourge among this forgotten and highly vulnerable population.

So the Asshole-elect knew he had to come clean this time and pony up the money with no fuss, unlike when he tried to stiff the Veteranā€™s group. Sad.

Yes sir, the check is in the mail.

Oh, he hasnā€™t written the checks yet. Donā€™t get ahead of yourself.

The White House on Wednesday listed 12 organizations to which President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump had pledged to donate a total of $1 million as part of their Hurricane Harvey relief efforts.

This implies to me, where they have ā€˜pledged to donateā€™, that no pen has gone to paper yet.

And can you imagine any other president repeatedly notifying the media that heā€™s giving money to a charity?

(Edited for gibberish.)

Iā€™m also looking forward to seeing where the money actually is coming from.

Itā€™s confusing because the article says ā€œā€¦, together received ā€¦ā€ as if they had done so, but the statement says ā€œā€¦ to receive contributions. ā€¦ā€

So yea, I agree no checks have been written. Another tell is that PP didnā€™t bring along a giant-sized check to show everybody.

Yup. Especially after the article mentions that at least one of the organizations received the phone call about the donation from the Trump Organizationā€¦
