When did Trump ever do such a thing using his money? He wants to go steal more from the same struggling families. He wants them to pay taxes for him. He wants them to lose even ACA. Thank you Trae. You are more human than the President who cares only for himself and his children.
I bet that person is happy.
Medical debt, Never heard of it till I went to the US. Disgusting
Omg 😮
Atlanta? Must be 99% sizzurp overdoses. flatulent_p
Bless him.❤️
Rising star? He is a Star, the Star.
hold the fuck on here, he lends his name to a non profit organisation, which costs him nothing, and donates $10k, seriously $10k of his millions and is given the credit for eliminating the whole $1mill of debt..FFS
Amazing stuff.👍
Imagine living in a country where we have trillions to spend on warfare but have an enormous segment of the population who is literally reliant on philanthropy to avoid going bankrupt simply because they got sick
example of humanity, which the government should have done, he took responsibility
A kind young man!💕
