Yes, you liberals are so funny, assuming there is no way someone would do something, which is very easy to do.

Neither you or I have anyway of discerning "where Trump's money is coming from", but appears you also have a problem with Clinton and Obama taking credit for handing out other peoples money. Reps to you

For your information, OP, the Clinton Foundation is already at work in Houston, and I'm sure Obama will do what he can, also. Of course, he's not worth billions of dollars thanks to crooked business deals, so he may not be able to "give" as much as Trump, lol.
Oh, I get it. We can have threads that trash and bash Trump, but we can't have threads that put him in a positive light and show him for the man he really is?

He also gave $25,000 to Sgt. Tahmooressi to help him get back on his feet after he got him released from Mexican prison, when Obama would do nothing.

Do you have some source for your claim of Trump's "crooked business deals" that we could examine for truthfulness and accuracy? I'd like to see where you are getting your information.

What do you think of Hillary's "pay for play" schemes? Did you think those were all on the "up and up?"

Obama is generating huge amounts of money in speaking fees (I don't know who would want to listen to his B.S.) so I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem for him to donate a million.

Thanks for showing your extreme bias.

We know what type of man Trump is - those are the threads that rightfully bash him.

Anyway, it'll be interesting to see if he actually pays this money. He didn't the last time he "donated" to charity until the "eeeeevil" media got on him about it.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.8412c952809d

As for my bias, yes. I hate Trump because I hate corrupt, lying, thieving, bigoted idiots like him. And I'm tired of watching people post silliness on this forum that basically says, "Look - Trump did something that wasn't evil or stupid - that makes him a great person!" No, it doesn't. You can't buy honor - and he has none - even if you can buy votes.

That's the problem with the two parties you would rather complain about what the last president did then what the current president isn't doing. Obama did this or he didn't do this. Like two siblings whining about who hit who first. You have no problem taking credit for what Obama did but take no responsibility for what the current president is or isn't doing.




Grow up.
"Fake his appearance?" He was in Texas, and I watched some of his meeting with State officials (including Gov. Abbot and Sen. Ted Cruz) live. You call that "fake?"

No one would take credit for anything Obama did. No one would hang such an albatross around their neck.
He made the mess Trump is having to clean up.

Thank God we have a real President again that puts America first.

Even so, the "mainstream" (Leftist) Media continues to focus on Melania's shoes (she wore heels when she boarded Air Force One to visit the area), and claim Trump shows "no compassion" (MSNBC). I guess they expected to see him hugging people like Obama or Clinton would have done. No, Trump is more "let's get to work" oriented. That isn't what they want. Liberals are moved by emotion, not real action.

But let's see if Obama or Clinton offer donations of their own money to help the victims. So far, has been their response.
maybe already have - quietly so folks cant b--tch

Sources? Where's your proof that Trump doesn't pay his taxes. Rachel "Madcow" proved he did.

Let's see your sources for your other allegations. Post them here. Go!

Yes he wanted to make believe that no other presidents donated and trump is truly altruistic.
The usual formula, democrats bad, Trump good.


Maybe he has a list of all the donors.

I do..if you mean doing as Trump has done..and taken credit for charitable donations that were not, in fact, really by him.

As I suspect, however, if referring to their actions in office..I'm assuming that the Clinton you are talking about is Bill....would depend on the program and how effective it was. Head Start and Highway infrastructure I like...Defense boondoggles and Pork...I do not.

Would point out that the bulk of monies 'handed out' is by Congress..but as both served..they can shoulder that weight.
