1. over the years the Donald has claimed a net worth of $10B

most analysts have widely disputed that number.

$1M represents .01 PERCENT of his $10B net worth.

That's a rounding error in his portfolio... i.e. he wouldn't miss it.

It also would likely only represent .001 percent of what is needed to do the recovery ($100B is a low estimate).

In other words, there would need to be 100,000 Donald Trumps donating $1M each to do the full recovery.

If every person living in the US contributed $325 (that's every adult and child)... that would pay for the recovery.

And... it's possible the recovery will cost over $150B

Trump will remember that. He's making a list.

Wait, someone thought Trump was talking about his own money???

through a mouth piece,since he is under investigation,he is not allowed to make that donation.

Real people knew it was a huge pill of bull crap anyway.

What matters is that, at the time, his heart was in the right place. That is all his supporters will remember.

so that he doesn't have to pay himself - he'll just sell a bit more access to US elections or something.
