On my! Trump Surrogate just said that Trump will provide records for charitable donations

[Godhumor]

Somehow, I doubt he will be a surrogate much longer. Trump will be furious!


Steve Cortes tells MSNBC Trump has been generous to charity his own money, will "certainly provide records if you need." Cc: @Fahrenthold

And the author of the WaPo piece responds:

This is fantastic news! @realDonaldTrump, consider this my formal request. @CortesSteve thanks for making it happen

Now, let's see, does Trump ignore his surrogate's stunning offer, does he make up an excuse as to why he can't release that information or does he publicly call his surrogate a loser (Note: there is no choice for actually releasing his records for a reason)?

1. Meredith McIver forced Cortes to say this at gunpoint.

She's a wild card, that one.

[Wounded Bear]

2. Yep!

They keep claiming "he's given millions of dollars." Provide specifics. Details.

[Siwsan]

3. Yea, right after he releases his tax information

[bettyellen]

4. He will ceremoniously hand over a piece of paper that is meaningless. Tax returns!

[maxrandb]

5. It will be a one-page letter from Sister Mary McGyver

Saying that Trump gave more to charity than any other Presidential Candidate in History, and his charitable numbers are "Huge and Extremely Positive"

[Ilsa]

34. That made me LOL. Perfect. Thank you. nt

[C_U_L8R]

6. Trump is writing receipts to himself !!

This is ridiculously wrong.

[pinboy3niner]

7. Yeah, right, lol!

Have you ever known Cortes NOT to be talking out of his ass?

[progressoid]

8. Yeah, same day he shows us his taxes and his medical records.

[Skidmore]

9. Steve Cortes has to be on something or

visiting from an alternate dimension. He just make crap up. He and Boris. You gotta love it when Joy Reid shuts him down and tells him to wait his turn to speak.

[OnDoutside]

29. He's probably on serious money ....

[Gothmog]

10. Trump will never disclose his tax returns

[MoonRiver]

11. Rump constantly has his surrogates lie.

to the latest lie.

[world wide wally]

15. Cortes will get a bonus for quick thinking...

The bonus will be 9 holes of golf at Mar A Lago for half price

[pinboy3niner]

24. Catch-22: He only gets his bonus if he can hit a 150-yard hole-in-one

[anamandujano]

12. They'll keep this volleyball in the air like they did with the birther business.

It should have been a simple matter. Now it's like Where's Waldo. In a week or so, they will announce that Hillary's dog ate the records and the media will go

We want tax returns, medical records and all the other things all candidates release de rigueur. We don't need his birth certificate but thanks for offering.

[lark]

13. There's a 4th and more likely (to me) option,

It's more likely because this is his response to almost every question - lie, lie and lie some more. Bet he puts out some "report" listing tons of charity giving, and absolutely 100% of it will be a lie, because that's just who he is.

[pinboy3niner]

16. Trump will issue a charity report right after Melania's press conference, lol

In other words, don't hold your breath--and never, ever believe a word Cortes says.

[pandr32]

14. Trump will produce a letter

...saying everything is beautifully above board...from someone.

[Iliyah]

17. LOL, from his Doctor!

I do not believe, if any info is released, it would be valid. Now, will our lovely and concern media investigate it to see if it is real? OR, treat it like the bullshit doctor's letter.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

19. Not only will the letter show charitable contributions

They will be huge contributions to the very best organizations.

No mention of where the money came from to pay for the contributions, though.

[packman]

18. Let me take a deep,deep breath and hold it while I

go outside to see if there is any flying pigs in the sky

[Demsrule86]

20. Is that before or after he releases his taxes, and comes clean about Melania's status? nt

[bigbrother05]

21. It'll be any day now, check's in the mail. They will say anything to run out the clock.

[rurallib]

22. just got to shut them up for 40 more days or so

right, Steve Cortes. Baffle mislead, lie - whatever it takes we can do it.

[greatauntoftriplets]

23. I won't hold my breath.

[duncang]

25. They probably have been working on a "clean" sheet of donations.

A list of donations that at least appear legal. With no other info in them. Or they will put it off then say the NY AG or IRS is looking in to them and can't release them after all.

[Thinkingabout]

26. I am thinking Trump has now placed the charity into an audit and will not release

The information. It would be good to compare the donations he has reported on his income tax with the amounts paid to different places and he paid the amounts from his Foundation and was other people's money. What a dipshit.

[underpants]

27. "Fun with Dick and Jane" 2:21 - the last 20 seconds of this clip

[sarcasmo]

28. Don the Con, everything he touches is shady.

[hatrack]

30. Yes, and they'll turn them over right after Trump gets back from the Pope's wedding

[meow2u3]

31. This will happen before Trump releases his tax returns

[Adrahil]

32. This will happen at Melania' news conference. NT

[Little Star]
