Good for him. I have donated over his equivalent of my budget as well .

No pat on the head needed, It`s what we as Americans do.

Pity the relaxing of those pesky expensive regulations will add so much to the costs of recuperation

Trump has made such announcements before but the $$ didn't follow. He apparently offered a bounty of 5 million for proof ofObamas fraudulent birth claims bbeen in the days before he admitted their was no fraud there..

She's talking about Rump trying to look like a good guy, as he cuts funding where it's needed.

Oh, now I see.

You're attempting to connect hurricane Harvey to cuts in regulations at the EPA.

Do you really think that's going to fly...here, or any place else?

Can't we just appreciate this one thing? He is doing a good deed because it's the right thing to do - it's not an attention thing. He has the money to donate and he didn't have to.

This is a good thing, and very gracious - from anyone who is able to pitch in.

BTW - Trump has done this plenty of times in the past for complete strangers and wasn't looking for attention...

I gave him credit elsewhere, only to hear today that they aren't sure whether that's coming from his own money, or the trump foundation (other people's money?).

Well, the purpose of the Trump Foundation is a cause such as this. And where is the Clinton Foundation during this catastrophe?

Just because someone makes a Lot of noise about being generous doesnt mean they are following thru. and just because they don't shout and brag about it doesn't mean they aren't also donating

Who cares, really, if it's him or his foundation .. but he of course had to make it sound like he was spending his own personal money. He has a rep for empty promises in the charity division

The Trump Foundation was set up to make donations to those in need.

So, where's the Clinton Foundation money to help those in need in Texas? NOWHERE!

The Trump foundation has paid for all nature of DT expenses and little to Anyone else. Hasnt Clinton gone on national broadcast to tell us all exactly what the Foundation is doing? Tsk tsk. That must mean they're doing nothing .. not. Meanwhile DT is forever bragging about how much he's giving someone.. but most of them say otherwise.

Well, the purpose of the Trump Foundation is a cause such as this.

Oh and let's not forget to drag HRC into it cause ee havent heard her trumpeting about how much shes going to give.. yeah! Hillary is always a good diversion.

What i want to know is wheres the "lock er up" chorus? No cisboombah?
