To help with the Hurricane Harvey recovery.
What about others? Clintons, Pelosi, McConnell?... to name just a few...
Let me do the math.
There are 300 million in us.
A .1 percent will be 300,000 people.
Assume 3 per family that will mean 100,000 households who are well off.
If each donated $1 million pm average, that will be 100 Billion.
How great would that be?
How about it, Bill Gates, George Soros, Cook, Bezos, Musk...all you captains of industry..
And Streisand, and Penn, DeCaprio, Perry... Hollywood...
How about Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton...
The source is endless...
You are assuming he will actually make a donation rather than just blowing hot air like usual.
Trump's charity promises have been empty in the past. Even the right-wing Forbes magazine looks on his alleged charity efforts with contempt.

And he hardly compares to the billions that Gates and Soros have donated.
LOL If he donated his entire wealth he couldn't match what Gates has given.
Of course, one might compare that promise, to donate 1/4000 of his wealth, to the percentage of his wealth Gates has promised to the recovery effort. Hardly fair, though - that would require something like 20M to match the promise.
I take him at his word...if he doesn't follow through, I am sure the media will be all over it.
The money Gates and Buffett and Soros donated were to foundations...
As far as I know, they have not come out and donate to this tragedy..
How about calling it "million for million" club? Donating a million dollars from people who have millions...
That is great to hear. We can all contribute... not just millionaires and billionaires...
Paul, I was waiting to see if some here on HubPages would react and you fell for it...
Is there nothing this man can do to sway you?
Can't you see your own bias?
President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump are donating $1 million to 12 charities involved in Harvey relief efforts. The White House says the American Red Cross, Salvation Army, Samaritan's Purse and Reachout America will share $800,000 of the donation. The Trumps are giving $25,000 each to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Catholic Charities, Direct Relief, Habitat for Humanity, Houston Humane Society, Operation Blessing, Portlight Inclusive Disaster Strategies and Team Rubicon.

A recent thread mentioned giving every US citizen $1,000,000 as a possible solution to the current economic crisis. I wonder, if by some chance you were given that amount of money, would it really make your life betterTell me what you would do with 1 million dollars.Scott

If you were offered 1 million dollars to move to another country, would you do it?Let's say you were offered 1 million dollars (net) but with the condition that you had to move to another country. Where you moved would be your choice. Would you do it?

Instead of giving US corporations bailout/loans the government should give each of its citizens $1,000,000 to spend on anything they want within the United States.According to the US Census there are 305 million citizens. $305 million dollar checks going out to people who will spend in the US is a...
