I'm curious how much Obama and the Clintons have donated. Maybe the Clintons could tap into their Haiti fund lol.
We also know Obama got that sweet sweet book deal.

He ended up being right though.
CNN did cover it, but I wonder if Bash realizes the tweet he is quoting came after the donation had already been announced due to the questions of the media lol.
White House walks back promise about Trump donating his ‘personal money’ to Harvey victims
On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters that President Trump would donate $1 million of his “personal money” to Hurricane Harvey victims. But on Friday, she wasn’t so sure.
Asked by a reporter if she knew whether Trump’s donation would be “coming from his own money or from the Trump Foundation,” Sanders dodged.
“I haven’t had a chance to do that,” she said, suggesting she hadn’t yet had a chance to ask the president where the money would be coming from.
During the campaign, reporting by the Washington Post’s David Fahrenthold and others demonstrated that Trump treated his foundation — which he hadn’t personally donated to since 2008 — like a personal expense account. Trump was also shown to have repeatedly exaggerated his giving. -snip
Hmmm...

Clinton foundation donates money from donated money . Good👆
Funny thing is the article doesn't actually show anyone confirming the money is coming from the Trump Foundation lol.
I care about the people getting money. I don't care who's pocket it came from.
I didn't flip it. It's the same thing. The Clinton foundation takes money from Saudi Arabia and Qatar then uses it for whatever.
So they take dirty money and try and wash off some of the filth by helping others. While taking a cut for themselves.
But where does it say this is or has actually happened in regards to Trump?

If that's how you need to flip it, cool. But the narrative pushed down throats since page one was that is was Trump's "personal money". Go look back if you don't recall
I actually decided to go look back in the thread. Would it surprise you to know that the word "personal" was used only a few times, and not to push a narrative? Uses I found:
-Imp says he donated $500 of his personal money
-Fly asks what Obama personally donated
-Darkstorm mentions Trump personally donating, but doesn't push that as a narrative.
You say it was pushed since "page one". Nothing I see on page one supports this. Could you quote for me where on page one the narrative about personal money begins to be shoved down our throats? Thanks in advance.

Oh my, you're confused and lost again...
This is because you're known to not read the stories posted. The OP story has Sarah saying this would be Trump's "personal" money. This was the basis for the conservations that followed, sport
So do more flips, it's funny

Lol but you said the narrative was being pushed down our throats. How is that an example of it being pushed down our throats? Sarah saying it...is shoving it down our throats?
Did you want a redo?

Why I said 'if true', comment, Sarah couldn't directly support her previous claim, so we'll have to see.But honestly, it probably is at this point.
But why does it matter? I know you support what the CGI does. Why is it ok what they do. But this hypothetical situation of Trump's is bad.
Also where the fck is CGI on all this. They haven't helped a single disaster here in their history.

From your article:
"He would like to join in the efforts that a lot of people we have seen across the country do," press secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters at the White House, saying the funds would come from the President's "personal money."
I can't figure out how this is something being shoved down our throats lol. She certainly says personal, but I don't see that as being shoved down our throats, and nobody else in the thread brings it up.
This is where the CGI is. They give links to where to help. While offering no help themselves. Hahahaha
