Trump has never done anything for anyone but himself and Ivanka "out of the goodness of his heart."

He cheated workmen out of money he owed them, he's cheated on his taxes, he cheated people with Trump U., but he "financed" Haitian eye operations? He may not have even know what his accountants were doing for tax deductions for Trump.

Come back when there is proof. If Trump had a clue about his "aid" to Haiti, he would have been bragging about it already. Nobody can claim Trump is too modest to talk about it. He didn't even know.

I read some articles that were written contemporaneously and don't see any mention of trump's contributing to a trip.

Why would he have to pay for Rand Paul to go? Wouldn't Paul just be volunteering his time?

The topic is tRump.

If he financed this out of the goodness of his heart and didn't take a tax deduction, then you have news. If not you have him looking for more ways to write off his income...which ends up helping - surprise!! -
himself.

Coincidentally, it's a republican senator who reports this. Come back when you have more proof than this.

Yeah.. Durbin is a real POS. Here is a clip where, on the floor of the senate, comparing US Marines to Nazis because they played loud music in fromt of Mooslim terrorists..

I'd sooner believe that, if true, it was a bribe to someone i.e Trump got something back for funding the trip. I wonder what Senator Rand Paul had of value he could have traded for it.....

Let's be real here: there's no proof. One person claiming it. No word from trump who would knock people out of his way to boast about something like this. Nothing. So no, I'm going to say this is fake news.

They donate their time, trip was probably paying for the transportation.

Does anyone expect CNN to carry this story? They are still bitter over the loss of their more than $800,000 (Time-Warner, parent company) to try to elect Clinton.

Trump is not a racist, but many that are accusing him of being racist actually are. I am very familiar with the actions of racists and how they play the game.

Many blacks have come out to say that Trump is not a racist. This all got started over the illegal aliens who broke our law and would vote Democratic, and ILLEGAL ALIEN IN NOT A RACE!
