Trump's "Gift" to the National Park Service

So Trump donates $77K while proposing to cut $1.5B from the NPS budget...

I bet his company makes more than $77K everytime he goes to Mar-a-Lago by charging the government for Secret Service housing, meals, etc. Is he donating that money too?

Also donations to the NPS are tax deductible. WePurrsevere Apr 2017 #1

He will probably declare Mar-a-Lago a National Park next. femmocrat Apr 2017 #2

From what I've seen over the years, Trump isn't a 'generous' personality type unless it profits him in some big way so I'm pretty sure that donating what to HIM is chump change, will do so as well and in more ways than one.

He recently mentioned how it was originally intended to be a "southern White House." Not exactly accurate, but close enough for him. He's setting it up!
