    Ok but even if that was real…what the fuck is $1300 going to achieve here? Sandwiches for a few of those affected?

    Of course it is fake. Trump donating any money to anything that isn’t a self-profiting grift should be the first red flag.

    So this picture was made in satire but i first I thought they meant the photo op was real but that the promise of a check was fake.

    I just naturally assumed Trumps team first decided to offer something that fits his budget, supporters wont notice as long as its shows then 3 digits on the sign anyway. After the shoot was done they decided they had what they needed and not even bother to send it.

    $100 for fake big cheque
    $100 to get somebody to come take the picture

    Donation could have been $1500 and done without needing everybody to know about it.

    The amount is also extremely low for somebody to brag about.

        Sometimes I wish companies like this would just get fined 30 million which gets donated to the cause they bragged about.

    In reality Trump raised 7 mil (last I checked) on a gofundme, his campaign raised 12 mil. He was then dragged through the dirt by people for “pocketing 97% of the funds” when in reality some dude didn’t understand that gofundme takes 3%.
