I almost fell off my chair!

I heard that the ass wipe in the WH was giving a million dollars to 'Harvey' my first thought was whose. Is he going to steal it from kids with cancer? Maybe take the kettles from the Salvation Army. What about a group that feeds the hungry. He could do it the old fashioned way and just 'forget' forever. The one fact of it is... it will not be HIS money! Oh, he could take it from his campaign fund. No, I forgot. That is paying for lawyers. There is always taking it from money already donated by caring Americans. There would only be a 20% to 40% handling charge. Does he actually think anyone ever believes anything that comes out of his mouth?

He always forgets to write the checks but I'll bet he never forgets to take it off his taxes.

I love it that Mueller is using the IRS now. He'll find it pretty quickly. Cheating on your taxes isn't impeachable, but you can bet the interest and penalties will add up fast.

Donny's gonna blow a gasket when he gets that bill.

shouldn't his gift be in the 100 million range? Only 1% of his self-proclaimed personal worth?

People who donate money don't announce it in advance. They just give it.

he would have quietly donated without any announcement or fanfare. But given his announcement, if he had any class, he would actually follow through with the donation which I doubt will ever happen.
