What's the matter, Prime?  Having another senior moment?

That's nice.


I hope the Trump's follow through on their pledge and prove me wrong.

You'd do well to actually read the article. Nowhere does it say he's actually donated (as in, it's happened) any of the money. If I say I am donating $1,000 to Habitat for Humanity, it doesn't mean I did it.

"No way Trump donates $1m of own money to Harvey victims. He only promises to give. Never actually does," said the author, whose book with Trump describes the president's work in real estate and famed reputation for deal-making.

"Never actually does"  Hm, hell of an author for that Hill article. This following is from the Washington Post on September 6.

"Last summer, after devastating floods in Baton Rouge, Trump gave a $100,000 donation to Greenwell Springs Baptist Church, which was helping residents in the affected area. That church's interim pastor at the time was Anthony Perkins, who is also president of the Family Research Council — a powerful and politically active Christian conservative group that condemns abortion, homosexuality and what it calls “transgenderism.” Perkins has been a strong political supporter of Trump's.

Since taking office, Trump has also made good on promises to donate his presidential salary. The first quarter's salary, $78,333, was given to the National Park Service for the maintenance of historic battlefields. His second quarter's salary was given to the Education Department to help fund a science camp."
