JJ Watt from the Houston Texans football team also donated a million (as did Sandra Bullock) and he's set up a donation site that as of this morning has raised over $14 million.

Nice to see so many wealthy folks stepping up.

Pfft! That's pocket change to Trump. That's the equivalent of tossing a few cents at a beggar. Probably did that for two reasons: 1) to salve his guilty conscience at stripping FEMA so badly and 2) to make himself look big. Always an ulterior with the T. :rolleyes: Don't be fooled.

I was wondering how the MB lads would discredit it and use it against him.

I bet that million wasn't even honestly earned anyway...probably came from a check written by Putin himself. Trump thinks he's a mastermind but he's just an idiot because you can't fool me. Trust me, I've been taking detailed notes on his character for yeras now.

There's no sincerity there. None. Look, I used to watch him on the Apprentice. They made a big deal about how, once a year, he picks some random poor guy off the streets and give him a makeover - new suit, haircut, money in his pocket and so on. Now, maybe he genuinely did this out of a feeling of - ah I'm sorry, I can't keep a straight face! If the guy wanted to do something like that, let him do so without trump(!)-eting it on the TV. Anyone know the story of the Widow's Mite? I don't even know if the guy was genuine homeless or just some actor they paid.

Man, this place has made me cynical. I never used to be like this. Thanks, guys!

*pretends that this is the first time a president disingenuously participated in a natural disaster-related PR stunt*
