White House walks back promise about Trump donating his personal money to Harvey victimsAaron Rupar 3 hours ago
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 wasnt so sure.
Asked by a reporter if she knew whether Trumps donation would be coming from his own money or from the Trump Foundation, Sanders dodged.
I havent had a chance to do that, she said, suggesting she hadnt yet had a chance to ask the president where the money would be coming from.

Not! Trump is incapable of giving anybody money unless their name is Donald Trump.

(7,802 posts)5. How Come
a White House Press Secretary doesn't know a single damn answer to any question? It's always something like "I haven't had a chance to discuss it with the prez" or "I'll have to get back to you on that" (and she never does). Has she ever even seen tRump in person? Does she ever prepare anything beyond reading some phony "Pickles" letter?
