Today's Press Briefing/tRUMP's donation

[jaxind]

Did anyone else wait with bated breath as Spicer announced the check being given to the Dept of Interior, as donated by tRUMP?? I was holding my breath hoping that there wouldn't be any applause from the press! It looked like Spicer and Zinke were waiting for some applause. I was so happy when none came! I honestly think I would have thrown up had their been applause!!

1. Well, that donation should be more than enough to support the national parks.

Maybe it could fund a couple of part-time rangers or an information booth?

5. $78,333.32 probably wouldn't even cover the printing costs for literature at a kiosk in ONE park nt

8. I was thinking of one of those little free-standing kiosks

that hold leaflets, not a whole information center. And not the leaflets themselves. We can't be greedy, after all.

2. Pardon us if we wait for the check to clear

By the way, how much has President Trump personally pocketed from his taxpayer-funded weekends at all his own properties? Is it more or less than his salary?

3. I want to see the canceled check.

Remember the veteran 'charity drives'?

The press couldn't find any donations?

And "I'll work for $1" sure doesn't sound the same as taking the pay and claiming it as an offsetting deduction - there's one IRS rule they won't be changing.

6. It's still a tax deduction for him right?

So we taxpayers just got screwed twice?

[Glimmer of Hope]

7. He has sacrificed and walked away from so much.
