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

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

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

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?
