both political and comedic, from the donation.

He's not about to let anybody forget that he gave ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

He's mentioned it on every show since he donated the money.

I don't think there is anything wrong with him reminding people of his donation. One million is a lot for someone like Bill and I think by mentioning it it reminds people that if he can give a lot so can other people who have money. I love the line about Obama killing Donald Trumps dignity.

bragging rights--1mil. is still a lot of money and he's no 1%er!

I've even heard him mention his donation in a humorous way to incite his panel members to donate as well.

Still, if he keeps flogging away at it on every show, there is a danger of overkill. That's all I meant to say!
