This appears to be a new attack some family members are turning to. They say it's dishonest to say you're going to give money but the money comes from somewhere else.

I figured it probably came from Trump but through the proper channels but haven't' found any indications of that being the case.

I'm putting it here to see what my fellow Freepers think about it.

I’m thinking you would love President Hillary.

It is nitpicky horsesh!t.

BTW, why does Hillary go home on weekends? Why does Hillary want ramps and handrails everywhere she goes. How far can Hillary walk unassisted in a parade? Why doesn’t Hillary allow flash photography around her events? Why does she walk like a shuffling old geriatric?

The questions go on and on and on and on.

I would be willing to bet that Trump would have violated his contract with the production company if he had personally paid out the funds from his own account.

Gee, and Do you suppose Ben Stein didn’t personally pay out on “Win Ben Stein’s Money?” And when Monte Hall offered $100 to someone in a zany costume that he didn’t really offer his own money? TV is business. There are tax and legal reasons why it is the way it is. Sheeeesh

Kardashian’s charity did receive $20,000. But it wasn’t from Trump. Instead, the check came from a TV production company, the same one that paid out the show’s official prizes.......That is terrible!! Not giving out taxpayer’s money??? He should be hung.

It was a TV show. I would never expect that when the host of a TV show says, in the context of the show, “I” am donating something, that it means it comes from his own pocket. It comes from the budget of the show.

Who didn’t know this was all part of the production of the show? If you use the same accounting techniques as the progressives, it was his money. I can’t believe how stupid this country has become.

In other news:
The sun rose in the east this morning. It’s Trump’s fault and proves he is not fit to be president.

Yes, but at least he didn’t promise that we could keep our doctors and our premiums would go down.

Who gives a flying flock of geese. It was his show, he said they would get paid, the money got paid, and the show was successful.

If he tells the production company to pay the money, and they pay the money, it still comes out of the overhead for the show, which is his show.

Good Lord, it is corruption because he did not personally sign the check?? Shades of Steve Martin in the Jerk.

You should tell the Washingon Post morons that no one with a valued brain gives a flying f*ck.

Who owned the production company? Did Trump have a stake in it? Did the contract specify any prize money came out of Trump’s payment/profits?

Did Kardashian read the contract? Can she read?

Big nothing which tells me they are draining the bottom of the barrel to try and find something to stop Trump.

If you watch any game shows or the like this is the way things are paid out, Through a production company and/or the sponsors of the show.

Donald Trump was not personally going to pay that money, never was.

I stopped reading when I was Washington Post.

I’m sorry, but that publication has no business being posted on FR. They have become a complete anti-Trump blog, and are no better than the Daily Kos.

"...I'm putting it here to see what my fellow Freepers think about it."

Great! I think you are probably upset with Trump for spurning your frisky romantic overtures... or, you're just a Democrat shill. Is that redundant? Anyway, that's what I think about you posting this crap. This pointless, projectile vomit.

If it came out of his paycheck, what’s the difference?

It is still his money coming out of his account.
