Trump Made A Promise To Donate $1 Million Of Their Own Money To Hurricane Harvey Relief

President Trump and the First Lady made a promise to the victims of Hurricane Harvey, and many are asking if they kept it. They gave $1 million of their own money to charities helping the Houston area recover from Hurricane Harvey. After witnessing the charities working firsthand themselves, they knew where they wanted their donation to go. They split the gift among 12 nonprofits, the White House announced Wednesday.

The two largest individual gifts were given to the Salvation Army and the Red Cross. These two well respected charities received $300,000 each. I know for a fact that there is no better charity to support than the Salvation Army, as they are genuine and their outreach is impeccable.

The subject is not in agreement with the possessive. Trump did not donate their money. He donated his money.

Made a promise and already delivered. Title is misleading.

HE’s absolutely right!..Putting it up here again....

James Woods said it best on Twitter (@realjameswoods) recently:......

“I’ve never witnessed such hatred for a man, who is willing to work for free to make his beloved country a better place. It is pathological!”

Gotta like James Woods.

Imagine the total disregard that would come from pickles or the bern.

Hmmmm, the Red Cross that has had so many scandals the latest right here in Houston and the Salvation Army whose powers that be decided NOT to have their fund raisers at Trumps resort? Too bad. He’s a bigger person than I am.....I’m petty.

I personally don’t donate to the Salvation Army, as they are a religion, and I don’t give direcly to different religions. That said, years ago I was sent to do some servicing of the computer systems in Connecticut. Their operation was functional, but spartan. The computers and the software chosen to run on them the same. I will say that money donated to the Salvation Army is not wasted on comforts for the main office employees.

Where is Hitlery’s million donation? I mean, she’s out begging for very high prices to meet her, so why isn’t she spending some of that dough on charity?

Think of the $500 million that Hollywood cretins haven’t donated, or the $500 million that the Wall Street millionaires haven’t donated, or the $500 million that the communist Ivy League/Big Name colleges and universities haven’t donated, or the $500 million that the multi-millionaire MSM haven donated, or the $500 million that the big name sports entities haven’t donated ..... hypocrites one and all!!!!
