There is no doubt that Trump is a disgrace and the US deserves better. He has made The Office a laughing stock abroad. However his position is a matter for US voters and their representatives to sort out. As I don't have a vote in the US, while I may have opinions there isn't anything I can do about it. I have always thought that the idea of a donation to a deserving cause is an excellent one. What I find that I can't condone is that the receiving party is chosen on a political basis. Obviously there are deserving causes; let's not just make choice political. I think the original aim was to alleviate poverty and/or homelessness, which is definitely worthy of the group. Let's choose one.
