We'll have to wait and see who pays, won't we? I'm sure you're good for it, though.
But, I am good for actually donating to hurricane Harvey relief, not just pledging.
And I'm pretty sure my donation will end up being a larger percentage of my net worthy than what Trump donates as a part of his claimed net worth.
And I promise not to announce it to the world on twitter.
So now Trump tries to act as the moral compass, donating $1M to the red cross for hurricane relief. So you'd think that would be good. He's setting a positive tone for the country. Yet in this instance you bash him for his donation. Will he actually pay it? You're donating more of your net worth than he is. So he isn't actually doing anything positive in your eyes.
So, it appears he can't win with you. Damned if he doesn't, damned if he does.
It is called feigned outrage. I don't give a crap what Trump pledges, but I can certainly post some feigned outrage. It's not that hard. You seem to have taken my feigned outrage seriously, which means the joke is on you.
As I said before, I can't respond to you actually being upset over my made up outrage.
I'll go out on a limb though and say there's less than a 30% chance Trump donates his personal money.
That's not feigned outrage, or outrage. That's just playing the odds on the moral integrity of Trump.
But that's okay. You can still be arrogant.
