White House walks back promise about Trump donating his ‘personal money’ to Harvey victims

On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters that President Trump would donate $1 million of his “personal money” to Hurricane Harvey victims. But on Friday, she wasn’t so sure.

Asked by a reporter if she knew whether Trump’s donation would be “coming from his own money or from the Trump Foundation,” Sanders dodged.

“I haven’t had a chance to do that,” she said, suggesting she hadn’t yet had a chance to ask the president where the money would be coming from.

More juicy details at the linked article. Remember how Candidate Trump kept calling the Clinton Foundation a slush fund and the Clintons' personal piggy-bank? You'll be very surprised to be reminded that it was instead the Trump Foundation that operates as a slush fund and personal piggy-bank for its namesake.

4. I don't think he lied

I think the idea was he was going to make hats and t-shirts with the POTUS seal, his picture, and a Harvey hashtag with the promise to donate .001% of the profits to hurricane victims.

5. I'm surprised.

I thought he was simply going to rake in the gratitude for his sacrifice, then "forget" to actually make the donation. That's his MO.
