President Trump and first lady Melania Trump announced Wednesday the recipients of their personal donation of $1 million to organizations involved in Hurricane Harvey relief efforts.

The Trumps selected 12 charities and relief organizations among which to divide the donation.

“The President and first lady witnessed the work of some of these groups first hand while visiting with hurricane survivors, first responders, volunteers, and Federal, State, and local officials, and are proud to further assist the recovery efforts in Texas,” the White House said in a statement.

“The President and first lady continue to pray for the people of Texas and Louisiana,” it said.

Several of the recipients were suggested by member of the White House press corps. The president requested suggestion from the press. It creating a rare opportunity for comity between the White House and reporters, which have had hostile relations from the start of the administration.

The White House said the president thanked the press for their suggestions.

Which charities have the Obamas and the Clintons opted to donate funds to? How about all the high profile, rich people critical of Pres. and Mrs. Trump?

Right on praireliving! The usual “wealthy” elitist like Clintons and Obamas and Pelosi don’t give a dollar to the poor but they do talk about the “people” doing so and praise the pols in taking the peoples tax money for “programs” that will “help” the poor. We all know how well LBJ’s “war on poverty” worked don’t we? Trillions “spent” on the poor has done nothing but increase poverty. Disgusting.

God Bless President and Mrs. Trump. All the left-tards and overpaid media CLOWNS parsing every word he uttered to criticize him and kvetching about Melania’s SHOES should put their money where their MOUTHS are, or shut the HELL UP. Far as I know, NONE of THEM has contributed ANYTHING except “armchair quarterbacking” and BITCHING.

The Clinton Criminal Foundation does not have any money to give to Hurricane Relief funds, as all of the money they take in goes to their rich buddies on the Clinton Criminal Foundation payroll! Liberalism at their finest. Why isn’t Barack shooting off his mouth, that the Clinton Criminal Foundation is “not paying their fair share”.

Cause when it comes to rich libtards, THEY never have to worry about being called out for not paying their share…

Also, i heard that Cher tweeted (sometime yesterday) that any “Dreamer” who feels that they are potentially going to be deported, can come to HER mansion in CA, and gain sanctuary..
I wonder how long it will be, before we hear stories of people arrested for trying to get IN..

    I’m for it. It won’t last long however. These people are so mired in emotion that they don’t see how such notions does NOT help anyone. In my area the pols are mired in “helping” the homeless and want to spend another $67 million dollars to care for them. Will that actually help the homeless who are addicted, mental issues, and have made many bad decisions that brought them to the mess they are in. Yet, I suspect, the friends and donors of the pols will get the $67 million and just love it. So, let’s go to the mansion and see how long it takes for the security guards to step up and kick us out! :):)
