Jimmy Fallon Pledges Money to Group Aiding Migrant Kids After Trump Tells Him to ‘Be a Man’ on Twitter

by Tamar Auber | 11:17 pm, June 24th, 2018

Comedian Jimmy Fallon has pledged to give money to RAICES in honor of President Donald Trump‘s tweet kvetching about his “whimpering.”

On Sunday night, Trump wrote this on Twitter: “.@jimmyfallon is now whimpering to all that he did the famous ‘hair show’ with me (where he seriously messed up my hair), & that he would have now done it differently because it is said to have ‘humanized’ me-he is taking heat. He called & said ‘monster ratings.’ Be a man Jimmy!”

Trump was responding to a recent interview where Fallon expressed regrets about having Trump on his show, a move that caused considerable controversy for the late-night host. In response, Fallon said he will give money to the non-profit.

1. So how can you donate if you do not have a Facebook account?

There is no donation link on the main Web page, and Facebook requires an account before you can donate

Do I really want my act of donation to go into Cambridge Analytica's database?

Or here

There was a specific fundraiser for Facebook that raised a lot of money
So that may be where you first heard about the group but it has been around for many years
Many groups are holding fundraisers which will be donated to raices or offering to donate part of a sale to raices
