title: the media ignores the good news on climate change
text: by hrafnkell haraldsson    pm trump sat on the stage looking for all the world like an honored donor to the cause and then got up and left without leaving a donation   
  not only is donald trump a liar and a thinskinned crybaby but he is selfish never spending his own money when he can spend somebody elses this behavior was never more in evidence than the washington post s david fahrentholds account of a  a ribboncutting held by the association to benefit children for a nursery school when donald trump showed up sat down to appear to be a great supporter and then left without leaving a donation 
  as sopan deb tweeted

  frank and kathie lee gifford were big donors and it is no wonder gifford was so shocked by trumps presence what had been exposed is that trumps life is a sham a gigantic show put on by him in which he parades through life pretending to be something he is not 
  as fahrenthold explains  
  for as long as he has been rich and famous donald trump has also wanted people to believe he is generous he spent years constructing an image as a philanthropist by appearing at charity events and by making very public  even nationally televised  promises to give his own money away it was in large part a facade a monthslong investigation by the washington post has not been able to verify many of trumps boasts about his philanthropy 
  that philanthropist isnt the real trump the only person trump visibly cares about is donald trump he uses his foundation to buy himself nice things spending other peoples money for luxury items and collectibles when he does make donations it is again because he gives no money to his own foundation with other peoples money 
  fahrenthold says that the only donation of trumps own money the paper could find from the period of  to today is a  gift to the police athletic league of new york city in  
  for a man as rich as trump claims to be  in eight years is nothing to brag about not that this stops the monumental deadbeat hypocrite that is donald trump from bragging anyway
