...didn't send it until just now, conveniently right after the Washington Post called him out about it.

Didn't this exact same thing happen with his promise to donate a bunch of money to veterans?

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/10/18/politics/donald-trump-personal-check-soldier/index.html


"'I'm going to write you a check out of my personal account for $25,000,' and I was just floored," Baldridge told the Post of his conversation with Trump. "I could not believe he was saying that, and I wish I had it recorded because the man did say this. He said, 'No other president has ever done something like this,' but he said, 'I'm going to do it. "


God he's such a fucking douche nozzle.

The NFL protests and his golf sessions probably distracted him. Way to go, football players. This grieving father has only you to blame.

Funny how Trump called out Obama and it got turned around on him. lol

just like EVERY SINGLE TIME he Calls out Obama, or anyone...you would think he'd learn by now but his ego is too big and his brain is too dumb.

"There is a substantial process that can involve multiple agencies anytime the President interacts with the public, especially when transmitting personal funds. In this situation there were other agencies involved."

"The President has personally followed up several times to ensure that the check was being sent."

"It's disgusting that the media is taking something that should be recognized as a generous and sincere gesture, made privately by the President, and using it to advance the media's biased agenda."


Very generous of Trump. Let me know if Obama ever did anything like that, I'd be interested to know. I know Obama isn't as wealthy as Trump, but he's still a multi-millionaire that could have afforded at least a few thousand here and there.

Yeah he's a fucking joke to almost everybody at this point.

The fact that the US has for the most part continued functioning as normal despite Trump being President btw shows how little the President actually controls (particularly if he just lets it run on its own and is too inept to try to micromanage people like Dick Cheney used to do).

They're full of shit. Ensured the check was being sent multiple times since June yet it never got sent? Though, suddenly when brought into the public eye they get it sent same day? You're smarter than that (I hope).


This, holy shit. It's been four months. If they were bitching about this a week after the phone call then yeah that'd be acceptable. There's no problem funding his many many golf trips with taxpayer money but when his own personal bank account is thrown into the equation it's suddenly a big deal?

I think it's only a matter of time before it gets sensationalized that he paid a white man's family money and told a black man's that "he knew what he signed up for"


I hadn't even thought of that. Not the black and white thing, the why did this father get $25k and no one else did thing.

I mean maybe he did but as of now this is the first one mentioned. Hopefully he made the same offer to all the others.

It's already been established the act of sending funds was going through multiple agencies, so it was out of Trump's hands.

I can agree someone messed up, but it probably wasn't Trump given the facts we know. One of Trump's aides probably saw the story and looked into it.

Totally believable if he hadn't displayed the same exact issue with prior donations before becoming president.

Pretty sure he did. He manged to get out of donating his own money and donated a pittance from his Foundation instead, and only cause he was being actively monitored for it by reporters. As with other donations though, if reporters aren't actively checking up on the money then hell stonewall.

So a good strategy will just be to start posting articles daily about every single donation promise until he fulfills them.

It would be the same if Trump wasnt one of those people crying about Obama doing it. Not to mention hes already on pace to do it at a much higher rate than Obama ever did. Its not complaining that he takes vacations. Its that he bitched about Obama doing it and still has the nerve to act like hes done more work.

Its... almost like they do it, in some sort of... mocking... way. Lije, they are making fun of the people who did nothing but criticize Obama for it only to be completely fine with it now. Almost like Donnie himself was constantly criticizing Obama for it.

And again, what was the excuse for him doing this exact thing when he wasn't president yet?

If he just came out and said "I'm a busy old bastard, we forget shit" I'd actually applaud him tbh
