President Donald Trump will pledge $1 million in personal funds for Hurricane Harvey relief efforts, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Thursday.
"He'll pledge, proudly, $1 million of his own personal money to help the people of Texas and Louisiana," Sanders told reporters at the daily briefing. "He said he would like to join in the efforts that a lot of the people that we've seen across this country do."
Sanders added that Trump called on reporters to suggest which relief efforts he should donate to.
"He's actually asked that I check with the folks in this room, since you are very good at research and have been doing a lot of reporting into the groups and organizations that are best and most effective in helping and providing aid," she said.
He'd love some suggestions from the folks here — and I'd be happy to take those if any of you have them."
Harvey's flood waters have heavily damaged tens of thousands of homes across Texas and killed as many as 37 people.
The storm is now threatening the region near the Texas-Louisiana state line.
Sanders said that she was not sure how the donation would be made, whether the through the Trump Organization, the Trump Foundation or any other entity.

I like how he waited until after Sandra Bullock did it.
It's still nice gesture but in a Joel Osteen kind of way
I'd actually be more impressed if he donated all of his profits from his USA baseball hats towards relief.
Pretty much. Not like he has any history of charity.Quote:

Past behavior though would offer a different explanation. Trump has previously promised to donate to other causes, only to then fail to deliver or deliver less than he said he would.
A previous report from The Hill states that of the $6 million Trump collected for veterans, only $3 million of it had been delivered.
A different report, this one from The Washington Post shows that
Trump’s claims to have donated millions of dollars to charity consistently for decades are a gross exaggeration of reality.
His failure to release his tax returns – in addition to helping shield him from revelations about possible foreign entanglements for financial irregularities – has helped him cloud the reality of his charity contributions.
In the 1980s, Trump pledged to give away royalties from his first book to fight AIDS and multiple sclerosis.
But he
gave less to those causes than he did to his older daughter’s ballet school,
writes David A. Fahrenthold of The Post.
Additionally, The Post reached out to 188 charities to confirm if they had indeed received Trump’s promised donations.
During the time period in which they checked, they could
only confirm a single donation worth somewhere between $5,000 and $9,999, :lol
a far cry from the millions Trump has bragged about.
Clearly, Trump has a long history of making charity promises and then refusing to honor them. He loves the immediate surge of adulation he gets when announcing a big contribution, but he is loathe to actually reach into his pockets to help his fellow man.

iow, why would anybody have reason now to trust any Trash statement about anything?

I wonder if he'll give one of those giant checks. Like Jackie Moon.Quote:

I'll be glad if he follows through. He's burned charities before and Shuckabee was so incredibly vague about it I can only think Trump saw Fox News reporting about JJ Watt and Sandra Bullock and panic texted her before presser.

not clear that he's donated anything and not certain it will be his own bank account
I bet he has his Foundation send money, probably not $1M, and probably not any time soon.
you people are such gullible suckers
You voted for sanders
Talk about gullible suckers
You still think Trump is being audited. :lolQuote:

We don't know that. If it came from his foundation then there's a good chance it's not his money. Of course, we don't know if there will actually even be a donation until it's been made and there is verifiable proof. Trump is notorious for claiming to make donations and then not doing so. It's one among many of his many great traits.Quote:

The president plans to make the donation, which is expected to come from his personal fortune, early next week, and it may be split among several groups doing relief work in storm-ravaged areas of Texas and Louisiana. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Friday that the president hasn't finalized where the money will go, raising some concern that charitable groups may end up competing for the money.
He should be looking to make an informed contribution, and it seems that he's doing so," said Cohen, noting that the president has stayed abreast of conditions on the ground and is planning to see it first-hand.
White House officials said the donation would come from the president's personal fortune and not his business, the Trump Organization, or his charitable foundation.

Maybe he can pony up the money he didn't pay all those small businesses while he has his checkbook out.

CN) – President Donald Trump must pay a Miami-based paint store and its attorneys more than $300,000 over an unpaid paint bill, a Florida court of appeals ruled Wednesday.
The decision affirms an earlier ruling by a Miami-Dade County judge ordering Trump to pay for $32,000 worth of paint supplied during the $250-million renovation of Trump National Doral Miami golf resort in 2013. Trump must also pay more than $277,000 in attorney fees.
The Paint Spot, an independently-owned store with three locations in Miami, placed a lien on the golf resort in 2014 after Trump’s company refused to pay. Last May, Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Jorge Cueto placed the 800-acre golf resort in a foreclosure auction. Trump’s attorneys avoided the sale by putting the owed money in escrow and Judge Cueto ordered Trump National to pay the paint bill and pony up thousands in attorney fees.
According to court records, another contractor on the project testified the Trump company decided not to pay, because they “already paid enough.”
Trump’s company appealed the decision, pointing to a discrepancy in The Paint Spot’s notice to owner – a document that allows the company to place a lien if they aren’t paid. The Paint Spot’s owner, Juan Carlos Enriquez, said a Trump employee gave him the wrong contractor before he filled out the form. Even after discovering the gaffe, Enriquez neglected to make the change.
Judge Kevin Emas of Florida’s Third District Court of Appeals wrote the error was not enough to prevent Enriquez from receiving his money and “Trump failed to establish it was adversely affected by any omission or error in the notice to owner.”
Daniel Vega, who represented The Paint Spot, said the appellate opinion was “100 percent factually and legally correct” in an e-mail to Courthouse News.
“The case should never have reached this stage but it did because, at all times, Trump Endeavor refused ever consider any type of reasonable settlement,” said Vega of the Coral Gables-based firm Taylor Espino Vega & Touron. “Fortunately, my client had the fortitude to endure the massive pressure of potentially having to pay Trump Endeavor’s fees if it lost in order to vindicate its position that its paint materials used to improve the Trump Doral Resort were paid for.”
During his campaign for president, Trump received heavy criticism over allegations he stiffed contractors and suppliers for his many properties. Trump always denied the charges.
Trump National or its attorneys could not be immediately reached for comment.
Maybe he could add a few million to pay the fraud victims of his "university" while he has his checkbook out..
A federal judge on Friday gave final approval to a $25 million agreement to settle fraud claims arising from Donald J. Trump’s for-profit education venture, Trump University, rejecting a last-minute objection to the deal.
The judge, Gonzalo P. Curiel, in San Diego, issued his order after considering a challenge from Sherri Simpson, a former Trump University student from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., whose lawyers say she should have had a chance to opt out of the class-action settlement and individually sue President Trump, perhaps forcing a trial.
My guess is he will pay all of his legally binding debts.Quote:
