$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
