Noticed something funny... * 5
    #24594843 - 08/31/17 11:07 PM (6 years, 4 months ago)

I seen that Trump tossed $1mil at Texas, to help with the hurricane relief.
That's great and all, not complaining about that, $1mil will certainly help.
Although there is little chance he did this out of kindness or solidarity, it was likely a stunt to try and improve his
absolutely plummeting approval ratings which are record-breakingly low.

I wanted to put that donation into perspective by comparing his donation to a donation myself or any lower class American would make if we donated the same % of our money.
Trump has $3.5billion dollars that is known about, he donated $1mil, that's 0.02% of his money. That'd be equivalent to a person with $750 in their bank donating $0.15 cents, or a person with $1500 donating $0.30 cents.. or a millionaire donating $200.00. In my case 0.02% of my money would be 4 one-hundredths of a penny. :lol:

Just seems pathetic to me, I've been down to $20 and still gave away $10 of it to a guy who was hitch hiking and hadn't eaten in a few days. With the scale of the disaster in Texas I'd think Trump could do a little more, even if Trump gave Texas $500 million it wouldn't hurt his bank in the slightest.

Not saying his donation is useless, but he doesn't deserve the amount of praise he's going to get for it. It's no different than throwing a nickel and a dime at a homeless person then expecting the world to love you for your great selfless contribution. :shrug:

Anyway, when I was researching Trumps finances I noticed this:



Can you imagine 100 years down the road being known for a quote like that? :rofl:

Trump could hold a conference tomorow and declare he was pushing a bill to make a giant statue of himself riding an eagle an i wouldnt be surprised.

He couldn tweet "i hate niggers" and I would be amused, but i wouldnt be surprised.

Hes a fool.
Why this is surprising or continues to captivate the news to the point of absurdity is beyond me

My friend is obsessed with politics and cant seem to cease being amused or shocked by this mans smallest fucking decisions. I wish there was something else interesting going on for the news to report... :rolleyes:

I'm liking my odds on the bet more and more every day that goes by... :ilold:

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.


You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being
With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Who cares why he did it? Sounds like he just gave more than I could ever dream of giving.

True 1 million aint shit when it comes to a state wide disaster and thats nothing compared to all the money he has, im glad he gave some money but its still a dick move to try and use that to boost support, he could have et least done an even number like 5mil

I thought it was cool.

Haven't heard of anyone else donating that much. I'm surprised he donated at all. Good on him.

I still think he's a turd though.

He'll probably donate here.
http://golfweek.com/2017/08/28/hurricane-harvey-wreaks-havoc-on-houston-area-golf-courses/
We all would be better off if he would just donate 10 pints of his own blood instead.

Trump doesn't donate his personal money.
Any donations he might make come from his foundations, which isn't his money.
The same foundations he uses to pay legal fees.
the same foundations that paid $20,000 for a painting of himself.
The same foundations that paid 12,000 for a Tebow helmet (for charity):rolleyes:

In the end, Trump will give the same personal amount he gave to Sandy relief,
Katrina relief or any other charity he claims to have given to.
ZERO.

If you really want to know what charitable donations he's made, or his personal wealth for that matter,
just check his tax returns. It's all right there, clearly written in inaccessible invisible ink.

This just in....
Trump to donate millions (from Mexico) to build the very world famous, very great, very, very big wall.
It will be huge!

I disagree. This is a debate of altruism verses egoisim. I don't think you have a case and you are acting like the thought police. Here is the fact: Trump donated a large sum of personal money, which will help. Your funds will help too. It's a shame you have to attempt to skew the president's kindness to make yourself feel better. Do you think that those who were affected by the hurricane care where the money is coming from?

Now that sounds much more Trump-like. I had a feeling it wouldn't be a direct donation.

yes, i can't wait till Superman finally comes to give us all some kindness and solidarity. (a person can dream!)

Quote:

Trump has $3.5billion dollars




wrapped up in his businesses and real estate, and not actually on his person, or in his available personal cash flow.

Quote:

ZERO.





you are full of youself. if you didn't have access to that sort of money (from your 'foundation' or no) you wouldn't BE ABLE to donate as much as he did...how much did you donate, out of the kindness of your heart, by the way? not much, i bet.

LOL@ everyone trying to make themselves feel like better people by putting someone down. LOL

Proof that Trump has ever donated any percent of his unknown wealth to a charitable cause?
I'd like to see that too.

So if that is a "fact" can you tell us where he donated this 1 mil? Or where the money came from?...

Doesn't take much to skew his kindness when he pretty much has none :lol:
