Today the White House announced that President and Mrs. Trump are donating $1 million to Harvey relief. But there is no satisfying the White House press corps. The Associated Press can’t report on the president’s contribution without taking a dig at him:
The White House says President Donald Trump is pledging $1 million in personal funds to Harvey storm relief efforts.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders made the announcement at a briefing Thursday.
And she says he’s calling on reporters to help decide which specific organization he will give to.
So far, so good. But now the AP interjects commentary, in a weaselly passive voice:
Trump has been criticized in the past for giving far less of his income to charitable causes than many other multi-billionaires.
Did the AP ever criticize miserly contributions to charities by Barack Obama, Joe Biden, or John Kerry, or ever report on the fact that conservatives are consistently more generous, on the average, than liberals with similar incomes? Of course not. Trump pledges $1 million, and for the AP it is just another opportunity to take a partisan shot at him. In other words, it’s business as usual.

Boy I hope the economy is roaring in November 2020
He’s going to be re-elected; he’ll have Texas all wrapped up.
PA has their new mines, etc.
Not a cake walk but it’s firming up.
I think the AntiFa stuff will actually HELP us.
Ahhh...how much did the AP donate?
I have only curse wors to use for the White House press corps. The Associated Press!
How much has The Won donated?
Bill Clinton is donating his used underwear (and claiming $1,000,000 charity deduction on his taxes) /s
Damn you, Donald Trump!!!!!
Let’s see if the nouvea riche Kenyan and the once poor and now multi-millionaire Clinton match it along with their BS foundations. I would not hold my breathe. Obunghole is too busy buying real estate in the Hamptons and Cankles is grifting and pushing another ghost written book.
He should give the money to the Southern Poverty Law Center....!
The media is pathetic.
He is busy spending $15 million on an empty lot so he can have a home away from ValJar
President Trump i9s the finest man that has ever been President. He gave 1 million to the Vets. now he gives to the flood victims inspiring millions more ( but no liberals) to also do so. He gave overt 100 million of his own money to fight and win the Presidency. Thank you God for our beloved president Donal Trump. Guide him and protect him .
Of course not - he should have given a billion. There’s no way to win with collectivists.
Donald J. Trump is a fine decent human being who is always a winner with those who count in this world. The rest are meaningless.
“I think the AntiFa stuff will actually HELP us.”
no question about it. Dems and their media lapdogs are desperately signaling for antifa and their financial backers to stand down.
He’s not a multi-billionaire..../S
So, that he can some how afford $1 million is astounding...
Don’t forget: West Virginia - coal; Wisconsin - Fox (Apple); Michigan - new industry - Trump’s locking up that Blue state/rust belt run that he shocked the world with last year!
God, no. The media would have him donating to Planned Parenthood.
