LOOK! (but not too closely)




President Trump is pledging to donate $1 million toward hurricane disaster relief in Texas and Louisiana, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Thursday.



Speaking to reporters in the White House briefing room, Sanders was asked whether Trump’s pledged money would come from his personal finances or another source, such as a private charitable foundation he founded or his real estate company.



“I know that the president, he said he was personally going to give,” Sanders said. “I don’t know the legal part of exactly that, but he said his personal money.”



Before taking office, Trump, a real estate baron and television personality, had a history of overstating his charitable giving and taking credit for donations that came from other sources, as documented in a series of stories last year in The Washington Post.



The Donald J. Trump Foundation had also come under previous scrutiny for self-dealing and advancing the interests of its namesake rather than those of charity.



The president was never known for giving his foundation much money, and from 2009 to 2014, he didn't give it anything at all.



However, outsiders donated to The Donald J. Trump Foundation--allowing Trump to dole out their money as if it were his own.

First HARVEY, Then IRMA — What’s really going on with these Super-Storms? (A New World Order Scam?)



Hurricane Irma formed in the Atlantic and is forecast to reach ‘extremely dangerous’ Category 4 strength in the next week or so, the National Hurricane Centre said on Thursday.



Hurricane Irma has been upgraded to a Category 3 once again but the storm could strengthen into a Category 5 by next week.
