Jimmy Fallon Finds The Flaw In Trump’s Million-Dollar ‘Charity’ Pledge

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Donald Trump offering to give money to charity? The former president on Tuesday challenged Joe Biden to a golf match, and vowed to give $1 million to a charity of the president’s choosing if Biden won. “Trump said if Biden beats him, he’d give a million dollars to charity,” he added. “Keep in mind, Charity is the name of a dancer at a club near Mar-a-Lago.” Trump was convicted in May on dozens of felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. In response to the golf challenge and other barbs Trump made during his rally near Miami, the Biden campaign said the president “doesn’t have time for Donald Trump’s weird antics – he’s busy leading America and defending the free world.” Advertisement
