Nothing in the video says he isn't donating the money. It just says she isn't clear if it's being donated from from his assets or his foundation. The only one claiming he "walked back his promise" is the article author.

The Washington Post already exposed this dude as using his foundation as a piggy bank. There's no reason to believe he'd stop now. 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?

Trump pledged 1 million personal, Sanders not sure if 1 million is personal or from foundation.

Why dodge the question if Trump already pledged 1 million personal?

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.

So you don't understand what a foundation is. It's no wonder you're so easily manipulated by sites like "Thinkprogress."

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

Meanwhile at the President's house:

After a few weeks of Kelly in the chief of staff role, Trump reportedly complained to a friend about the lack of articles from right-wing websites like Breitbart and The Daily Caller, according to The Times.

He hasn't contributed tgo the foundation since 08. It's not his personal money as was touted. I'm glad a million dollars will hopefully be donated but passing this off as so altruistic and HIS own money is false.

Trump is using the storm to promote some false sense of charity, when it's really just some scheme to "donate" money that isn't really his own.

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.

    If a person freely of their own will donates money to someone then it is theirs. When I donate clothes to Goodwill they become the property of Goodwill to do as they see fit. They are no longer my clothes and I have no say it what's done to them as they are now Goodwill's property. The same applies to anyone that donates money to Trump at any point in his life.

    Goodwill is an NPO, so it has even more restrictions than the foundation. They couldn't use your donated money to make a campaign contribution, for example.

    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

    seems like a lot of that money comes from people who don't give a f*** about a million and if anything Trump earned at WWE from appearing in it and earned a lot of that money from the things he appears on

    I didn't say that he couldn't direct donation funds. I said you can't say "Trump donated $5.5 million, so everything past that point is his money no matter if he claims in excess of $5.5 million.


    oh that's alright then

    If a person freely of their own will donates money to someone then it is theirs. When I donate clothes to Goodwill they become the property of Goodwill to do as they see fit. They are no longer my clothes and I have no say it what's done to them as they are now Goodwill's property. The same applies to anyone that donates money to Trump at any point in his life. It is now his money. Now whose doing the mental gymnastics?


    Goodwill is an NPO, so it has even more restrictions than the foundation. They couldn't use your donated money to make a campaign contribution, for example.
    Fair enough. What I am saying though is it is now their property as I freely donated it of my own will. The same as people did to Trump's foundation. And it now his money to use as he sees it as long as it's legal.

    I don't think anyone is complaining that Trump is using foundation money for Hurricane Harvey relief. I think that they're complaining that he's making a big show about giving away his money for publicity, but then pays out of other people's funds.

    Going back to the Goodwill example, if Jim Gibbons said "I'm personally donating $50 million to Harvey", and then it came out that he actually meant that he was taking $50 million from Goodwill and giving it to Harvey, people would also be mad at him.

    The alt-left is not a thing. Stop it. Alt-right is not an insult. It was literally coined by those people who felt the regular right didn't represent them.

    Oh well in that case, to each their own. In the end no matter where the money comes from and from whom are secondary to the fact the people of Houston needs funds to rebuild from this disaster. Personally I don't care where Trump scoops the funds from. But I'm also the kind of person that if I could make a donation it'd be anonymous. So while I can see your point, it just doesn't matter to me because in this case the ends do justify the means.

    Imagine being so mired in political affiliations that you'd rather s*** post and cry about where the money is coming from that be thankful that people in need of help are getting said needed help.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he intended to donate a million of his own money, only to find out he's unable to get his hands on a million dollars. After all, isn't the majority of his wealth tied up in his real estate, and the value of his name?
