...where the proceeds were to go to the vets. It never happened until an investigative reported researched the donations and found they never occurred. He's a grifter and a con man.

I'll believe the money goes to Houston when verified.

BTW, how about the 1B he took away from the FEMA budget for Houston to go the the build a wall fund. I want him to return that money to Houston relief fund

Given his long sordid record, it doesn't mean a fucking thing. Show us the money dalton99a Aug 2017 #2

He never donates to charity, unless it's by using other people's money The Velveteen Ocelot Aug 2017 #4

I wonder which charity foundation he'll be taking it from? arthritisR_US Aug 2017 #5

Personal funds? syringis Aug 2017 #10

From his personal charity slush fund that is. MrsCoffee Aug 2017 #30

Exactly. That was during the campaign, and of course the media carried the whole "fundraiser" live anneboleyn Aug 2017 #32

Yeah, right. ( eyes rolling ) Doreen Aug 2017 #12

Bets are on! I can't picture him following through on this, but... Frustratedlady Aug 2017 #13

Biodegradable barnyard byproducts. He never follows through. nt Hekate Aug 2017 #16

Bet I end up giving more than Donny does in the end Maeve Aug 2017 #19

That is .00025 of $4 billion net worth CozyMystery Aug 2017 #20

Yeah he's probably got that much stashed under his couch! Initech Aug 2017 #26

His net worth isn't anywhere near 4 billion. Bleacher Creature Aug 2017 #28

Didn't Trump say he is worth $4 billion? CozyMystery Aug 2017 #29

I think so, which is further proof that figure is way off. NT Bleacher Creature Aug 2017 #31

Well, I was wrong. In 2016 he said his net worth is $10 billion. (see my post above) CozyMystery Aug 2017 #33

Why in the fuck would we trust what Trump claims about his worth? anneboleyn Aug 2017 #35

I trust it only insofar as to use his own words to make my original point. CozyMystery Aug 2017 #38

He and his family only know how to steal from charities andon'the lie about it. BigmanPigman Aug 2017 #22

He'll offer reduced cost nights at his hotel and resorts. $50 off the usual $700/night. Shrike47 Aug 2017 #23

Good. Nt B2G Aug 2017 #24

He's using the press to stall. He thinks we won't remember and OldHippieChick Aug 2017 #25

He's just waiting for him to donate it to him first, so he can re-gift Atman Aug 2017 #27

"And so, to save Texas, I'm going to donate..." robertpaulsen Aug 2017 #34

Why does he think it's the role or responsibility of reporters to make that decision? Tanuki Aug 2017 #37

He stole it from us taxpayers workinclasszero Aug 2017 #39

NO WAY is Trump giving away his OWN money. And how would anyone know, anyway? NO TAX RETURNS. WinkyDink Aug 2017 #40

Yes, amazing he calls on fakes and liars to make his decision. Hieronymus Aug 2017 #42
