When it rains, it pours rancid slime with this guy.

Oh yeah, that sounds exactly like something DOTUS would say.

Take everything, give nothing back.

it took 4 months to get the check out. I get insulted that trump thinks we are all stupid.

Enablers, all of them.

he realized that instead of having 10 billion dollars as he had claimed, he only had ten million, and couldn't possibly spend 25 thousand on helping a stranger.

it seems inappropriate for a sitting president to donate his own personal money, like when he said he would donate one million dollars to Harvey victims. He is president and as such, he has resources that others don't. With Harvey and other disasters, his job is to coordinate disaster relief, not make personal donations, unless he does so anonymously. A president can have a far greater impact than any philanthropist.

This whole "write you a check out of my personal account" is distasteful and of course as usual, he didn't send the money.

Well you don't have to mail me a check. Just give me your credit card number over the phone.
I'll get a $25,000 transfer off your card and save you the trouble.

part of the survivor benefit. I wish the military could have divided the money between the mother and father as they are both suffering.

where the mother and father split up and kids take sides. The son obviously had taken his mother's side here, in some way. But we don't know the whole story, do we?

the same lesson learned by every contractor Trump ever hired. The check is not in the mail.

Promise everything.

Deliver nothing.

Have good lawyers and rule-makers (congress who are also lawyers in the pocket.)

Democracy - NOT.

The rat-bastard liar has stirred it up and it's blowing up in his bloated face.

fuck you donnie. You deserve everything that's coming your way and MORE.

He will say anything to make himself look good at the time - I will provide proof later, it will be tremendous, I've done more than anybody, I can promise this right now - but it is all BS.

His son had his mother as his beneficiary. He could have had his father, or both his mother and father. He didn't. It was his right to do so.

i don't know the relationship between the father and son, and frankly, it doesn't matter. if the father was already having a hard time making ends meet, grieving the death of a child will certainly not make it any easier. the guy can ask for whatever he wants. Dotard could have dismissed the request, but he chose to promise money which he never delivered.

. . .and that's an understatement.

Carve all your promises you don't intend to keep on a block of ice and put it in the sunlight.

From the linked article:

Trump called him a few weeks after his 22-year-old son was killed on June 10.

In a statement today, White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said:
“The check has been sent.”

Four months later, and only after publicity.

Mr. Baldridge a liar, or he can agree and then be forced to write the check, which will look like he is only doing it because the media (that he calls fake news) called him out on it.

He has no liquid cash or anything else of value that he can just cash in. His net worth is much less than nothing. He owes millions of dollars to Russian lenders. He could sweep aside all of the nasty rumors about his solvency instantly, if he would just release his tax returns,. But he won't do that, ever.

I am thinking that if you, the reader, sitting at home, have saved up a lot of money in your job, if you inherited some property or money from family members who have passed (or if they just gave it to you) AND you don't have any significant car loans, mortgages, or STUDENT LOANS weighing heavy upon you, then you literally have more money than the President of the United States.

Not because it holds some illicit secret deals with the Russians, but because it shows he DOESNT MAKE MUCH MONEY.

Fronting for some conglomerate of interests. The carnival barker, the shill, the traveling salesman, the person at the pulpit.

He would deflate into an ugly mass of epidermis and slime if his lifeline was pulled. His leach-like friends, wives, spawn would all dissolve into nothings except a very bad taste in humanities mouth. Multi-floored towers of nothingness would become wrecks of concrete and rats. The name <unmentionable> will be anathema until the next Stalin/Hitler/PolPot takes center stage.

Did he ever give that million dollars to charity? Probably not, because his ugly ass cat anus of a mouth would have been on TV telling us about it. Son of a bitch would have treated it like it was Publishers Clearing House.

My depth of hatred is rather disturbing.

show us the image of the cancelled check

I don't think he gives a damn about any of them. And I think he's not fit for the job.
