Did tRump actually donate $100,000 of supplies? It's starting to look like another lie.

JUST IN: Louisiana Officials Reveal Trump NEVER Donated “Truckload” Of Supplies

Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards asked Donald Trump not to come to his state for a photo op, but Trump did anyway, unloading a truck of goods for a full minute. The stunt disrupted emergency workers and volunteers. Individuals defended Trump’s Louisiana trip because he “donated” an entire semi-truck of goods, and made a sizeable cash donation the Louisiana Flood Relief Fund. That is a fine tale of fantasy because evidence shows Trump lied about both scenarios. The truck was not his, and he didn’t donate a single dime.

Trump’s story began to unravel when Washington Post reporter David Farenthold reached out to the local government of Ascension Parish, where Trump allegedly “donated” the truck of goods. Farenthold merely asked a simple question, could they confirm Donald Trump donated a truck of goods to them? Their reply swiftly shattered Trump’s lie:

Any chance the popular media could pick up on this? I wonder if the media would pass on such a transparently self-serving lie if it was uttered by, oh, let's just say, Hillary Clinton?

Mary Landrieu both said they were glad Trump came down there, so this line of attack is an echo chamber. Let's see how Obama handles the optics of last week, lest we get too far ahead of ourselves.

if he did or did not and if so to who or what organization and prove it. Simple questions the media in their non-stop TRUMP coverage should ask. Is there anyone in media willing ? Enough tip toeing around with this bullshiter.

... The Republican presidential nominee donated $100,000 to the church where the hate-group leader is interim pastor. Donald Trump has reportedly donated $100,000 to help Louisiana residents affected by disastrous floods — but he’s put it in the hands of an anti-LGBT church whose interim pastor is Tony Perkins, head of the infamously homophobic Family Research Council. ...
