Anyone who thinks he gives a damn about anyone but himself is delusional.
And if he did spent it volunteering, you haters would blast him for trying to get publicity and not genuine. You haters are on here all the time ready to bash him regardless of what he does or doesn’t do.

It’s a federal holiday. I guess he could have held a cabinet meeting in a room all by himself since everyone else had a day off.



And imagine if he had forced staff to work today, MLK day, the Left and the media would blast him for not respecting MLK and being, yup you guessed it, a racist.

Basically, you haters would bash him for any and everything.

In his defense, all he did was refer to Haiti as a sh*thole. He can be forgiven. Like everyone else, I'm sure he thought they already knew.

Isn't that a rather difficult prediction to make, since Trump has never volunteered for anything? In fact, he has never done anything he couldn't get credit for. I don't believe he was even aware that money was given in his foundation's name, as he he has nothing to do with it. He would have told us a million times if he was aware of it. Believe me.

And? Is that your best argument? Trump would be a better person if he could just get credit for it?

Even if that was true... so what? People who aren't morally bankrupt don't need praise in order to not be POS.

And you know he has never volunteered? What proof do you have?

Also, wealthy people can help more by giving than standing around serving plates. Of course you Leftists wouldn’t know something that sensible if it hit you in the face.

I guess reading and comprehension is not your strong point. What you said makes no sense with what is being said, which is totally lost on you.

My point has nothing to do with Trump getting praise. My point is that the haters here will bash him regardless of what he does or doesn’t do. They will find something to attack him on. If he did volunteer, they’d attack him. If he didn’t volunteer, they’d attack him too.

He could have spent the day throwing paper towels at hurricane victims I guess. We know he can do that.
