The only one claiming he "walked back his promise" is the article author.

For a guy who claims not to particularly care for trump one way or the other, you sure do your best dhalsim impression defending him If Hilary had a history using her charitable foundation as her own expense account, would you believe her press secretary if they told you there weren't sure where this particular "donation" was coming from?

Also, how is a billionaire using his charity to donate even an option? The s*** some of y'all let slide for trump that would've been a scandal for Obama is lulzy. Trump used his charity to buy a damn tim tebow helmet. Imagine the conservative outcry had Obama used some charity he set up to buy a Kaepernick jersey.

Stay hacky, addy So you don't understand what a foundation is. It's no wonder you're so easily manipulated by sites like "Thinkprogress." ChromaticAngel posted... Trump pledged 1 million personal, Sanders not sure if 1 million is personal or from foundation. He pledged $1M. Why does it matter if it comes out of his bank account or out of a foundation he controls? Those are effectively the same thing. In fact, he might be required to donate it from his foundation to avoid legal conflicts of interest.

It matters because just a day ago everyone was touting it as 'his own personal money' when in fact it is not. Money his foundation controls isn't his, it's donated by other people for charity. If he's using it like a personal piggy bank that's fraud

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. so this isn't about not donating but it's more about whether it's coming from Trump himself of the Trump foundation. Unlike the article head which makes people believe that Trump isn't donating at all. Pretty s*** journalism this is the definition of fake news bruh |

ohh man washingtonpost, let's see
Not a single one of those donations was actually a personal gift of Trump’s own money.
Instead, according to a Washington Post analysis, many of the gifts that Trump cited to prove his generosity were free rounds of golf, given away by his courses for charity auctions and raffles.
this is a lot of reading for a lot of bulls*** tbh, what does Trumps money running out mean that he can't use the foundation? I mean just from the Graph right on the site
