Trump's Harvey response

I hope he does. It's definitely needed... but then again, that nursery in Manhattan for Children with AIDS needed donations as well. He gave nothing but showed up for the school's ribbon-cutting ceremony and sat in a seat he knew was designated for a donor. He made sure his picture was taken and then left... without donating a single dollar (in the words of the charity's executive director).

How much can we put the clintons down for? Obama?

Btw, what did the clintons do with all that money they raised for Haiti?

Oh, and let's not forget about Trump lying about donations to 9/11 charities either... Per NYC Controller Scott Stringer's investigation, Trump's claims of giving generously to help the city following the terrorist attacks are bogus. Stringer conducted a review of hundreds of pages of previously sealed records of the two main 9/11 charities at the request of The New York Daily News, and found that Trump hadn't donated a dime in the year after 9/11. "For the periods covered by the audits, we did not find any record of a donation from Trump himself or a Trump entity to either The Twin Towers Fund or the New York City Public/Private Initiatives Inc.," Stringer's office said in a statement to the Daily News in response to a Freedom of Information Law request.

This appears to contradict Trump's prior boasts of spontaneous generosity. Now, Stringer did point out that his audit only went for a year after the attacks, so it's possible that a donation could have eventually been made but at least as of October of 2002 - it hadn't.

In the weeks after the brutal attacks, Trump pledged $10,000 to The Twin Towers Fund as part of an effort Howard Stern was pushing. A report said Trump promised this donation in late September 2001 and the Daily News obtained audio of Stern's October 10, 2001 interview with Trump where both he and co-host Robin Quivers thanked for that donation which as of October 2002 had not been made.

This is not a defense of Trump who has a history of lying about his charity donations. This is just more deflection and "What About Obama/Clinton-ism?".

Will he actually follow through on his pledge this time? Probably. (He knows what a microscope he's under ) Has he earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to making pledges to charities? Hell, no.

Yes, I am. Trump has lied multiple times about giving donations to charities in need. He has even boasted about this supposed philanthropy of his. He is a billionaire living in Manhattan who didn't donate a single dollar to The Twin Towers Fund despite making a $10,000 pledge on the radio. He also took the seat of a donor at a ceremony opening a nursery for children with AIDS in Manhattan despite not having donated a single dollar for it either. I don't care how long ago it was, 9/11 is still fresh in all of our minds and that is not an easy thing to forget about Trump... The only defense I've seen so far is just more and more "What about Obama/Clinton-ism?".

You don't even see your own hypocrisy.


It's sad.

Because there is none. Trump has lied about donations. He presents himself as a philanthropist but the reality is, that he is a billionaire living in Manhattan who couldn't even follow through on a $10,000 pledge he made on the radio to support a 9/11 charity. Now, that is sad.

And when I googled it, the only places supporting your assertions are abc, MSNBC and mother jones.

I'll wait until someone credible says so

Btw, how much did you donate?

The point of the post was he's pledged money now. If he doesn't follow through you can jump for joy in the knowledge you spotted him for a low life welcher. I've also offered you a chance to cash in.

Or you could be magnanimous and acknowledge - "hey, that's good on him for doing this" but it's more fun to trash, trash, trash away.

I was hoping someone would ask because I wasn't going to just volunteer it. I did donate $500 to the Twin Towers Orphan Fund in 2001. I charged it to my Discover card which I had recently opened. I was only 28 years old at the time and had a newborn baby girl. It wasn't much but I did the most I could do and I've always felt good about that.

Hats off to you for doing so.

I was 27 waiting on my first born.

We donated as well. (250 I think)

But, I can't provide proof that I did.


Can you?

Google "Trump 9/11 charity".

None of the first 8 links provided are to MSNBC or Mother Jones. The links are to New York Daily News, ABC News (what's wrong with them?), NBC New York, Salon.com, Talking Points Memo, The Daily Beast and The Daily Mail (U.K).

Trump wasn't great in that instance. We get it.

Why you have to crap all over him giving to this I have no idea. Clearly he has done charitable giving in the past; I'm betting a hella lot more than the times he whiffed. Months from now if he doesn't follow through you can gloat away.

In my first post on this topic (#402) in this thread, I said it was a nice gesture but then I also said that maybe he could start personally funding his trips to Mar-A-Lago now as well? Someone called me a small person and we went off on a tangent. I do think a pledge is nice but with Trump it has proven in the past to be rather empty. I can't imagine being a billionaire in Manhattan in 2001 and not giving ANYTHING to the Twin Towers Orphan Fund... and that is after pledging $10,000 on the radio. And you defend this guy? Jeez.
