Image rehab, penance, getting away from Jared, subtle dig at FG daddy's anti-Ukraine actions?
Hmmmm.......that almost assumes she has some sort of moral compass.
I will summarize:

Well, she's banned from engaging in any sort of charity work in NY. This is likely a case of crass self promotion. I'd be more impressed if she sent a big check and left the details to competent people. Self promotion is the operative concept here.Vrede too wrote: βSun May 22, 2022 5:02 pmneoplacebo wrote: βSun May 22, 2022 4:53 pm...

Agreed, but self promotion to what end? To be fair, I'll bet that her visit included a big check. It would be pretty rude otherwise and we would hear about it. I think she could teach charity guitar in NY as long as she's not fundraising, but they moved to FL anyhow.neoplacebo wrote: βSun May 22, 2022 5:07 pmWell, she's banned from engaging in any sort of charity work in NY.

I'll take that bet.
Self promotion is an end in itself. That's what this whole family has been doing for decades. And yes we would "hear about it" but we haven't. Nobody's going to say I didn't get any money and I expect that if she had brought a check that would be one of the highlights of the entire event. I guess we'll see.Vrede too wrote: βSun May 22, 2022 5:23 pmAgreed, but self promotion to what end? To be fair, I'll bet that her visit included a big check.

Some donations are made with the expectation of secrecy. However, if a filthy rich woman showed up for a photo op serving veggies when there's no shortage of servers and without donating a dime IMO people will feel exploited and someone will gripe. Why not donate? Tens of thousands of $$$ is pocket change to her. I could be wrong, and I'd still rather see her firing Stingers or donating APCs.neoplacebo wrote: βSun May 22, 2022 8:22 pmSelf promotion is an end in itself.

Hominy, if you want to think the trumps donate to anything anonymously you can keep on believing it. They would never do that. Hell, they've proven to have said they donated to causes and kept the fucking money; even had to pay millions in fines because of it. I consider the entire family scum.Vrede too wrote: βSun May 22, 2022 8:39 pmSome donations are made with the expectation of secrecy.

May or may not have cut additional checks on this visit, but I'm guessing that she did.... Since March, Trump has continued to be involved in several efforts to support Ukrainians in need.
CityServe says she's purchased and executed the distribution of a million meals into Ukraine as well as delivering five cargo planes worth of requested medical supplies that were delivered to hospitals and clinics throughout Ukraine....
So, there's a regional familial connection.
Damn.During the Holocaust, Reichel led efforts to escape from the Navahrudak Ghetto by digging a tunnel, and later became a member of the Bielski partisans.
Yeah, I thought that Jewish survivors in Belarus were pretty rare. Reichel and Joseph would be disgusted that their grandson is so close with antisemite-courting 45SHOLE.
born one tippytoe from home plate and completely absorbed in her own greatness of having hit a homer.neoplacebo wrote: βMon May 23, 2022 6:49 amI don't know anything about CityServe other than it was founded in 2015 and its website lists no obvious trump allied names in its list of directors, advisers, etc. I don't see anything anonymous about her efforts or activities in the link; what I see is self promotion of CityServe with honorable mentions for her. I will concede that she is the least repulsive of the trump scum pond but that's as far as I'll go.
Anonymous giving was merely idle speculation on my part based on GoCubsGo and you stating that you'd not heard about any donations in her own tweets about the visit. Then, I've made no claims about her motives or her relative repulsiveness. My central point from the start was that it made no sense to me that a fat cat like Ivanka would be there playing guitar and serving food without having cut a big check, and that someone would have bitched if there wasn't giving.neoplacebo wrote: βMon May 23, 2022 6:49 amI don't know anything about CityServe other than it was founded in 2015 and its website lists no obvious trump allied names in its list of directors, advisers, etc. I don't see anything anonymous about her efforts or activities in the link; what I see is self promotion of CityServe with honorable mentions for her.

Well, it turns out that she's (probably) donated a million meals and five cargo planes of medical supplies, along with any associated cash. That's a much bigger check than I was guessing, and it buys a lot of recipient toleration for photo ops.
Donated a couple of months ago....
The medical supplies must have been less than a couple of months ago since your links don't mention them. Is it "Taking a bow" if she doesn't cite her donations in her tweets? I just guessed at them, then we had to search for mentions.GoCubsGo wrote: βMon May 23, 2022 9:16 amDonated a couple of months ago....
Taking a bow today because she didn't get enough PR? Anyone think it's altruism?

Another regional familial connection.... A source close to Trump told Fox News that she has a "very personal connection" to the conflict in Ukraine, with her mother Ivana Trump growing up in Soviet-occupied Czechoslovakia.
Trumpβs 96-year-old grandmother Marie Zenicova, who lives with her in Florida, still teaches her children to "treasure our freedoms," the source said....
