Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Saturday presented a check for $100,000 to an organization that trains dogs for veterans with PTSD and mobility issues.

Trump gave the check to the Puppy Jake Foundation during a campaign rally in Davenport, Iowa, with Liberty University President Jerry Falwell, Jr.

Three dogs and Puppy Jake representatives came onstage to receive the donation...

Good for him and for the organization. I’ll leave it at that.

On every Donald Trump thread, it’s as sure as the sun will rise in the east that you and/or your fellow Cruz supporters will show up to tell everyone why the world would have been a better place had Donald Trump had never been born and why Ted Cruz is the only one that can save the planet from certain doom.

If only you were able to support your chosen candidate as I’ve addressed you thus far, with a modicum of respect for differing opinions, I wouldn’t be writing this response.

Quite the opposite. You and your fellow cruzbots show up on every Trump thread to spew your hateful venom, lies, exaggerations and insults while ridiculing everyone that doesn’t agree with you that Ted Cruz is the greatest thing since sliced bread and how you’re personally offended at how stupid we all are to not see how brilliant and right you all are.

Here’s some news for you. Your childish antics are not the least bit persuasive. In fact, you’ve probably convinced anyone that was still unsure which candidate to support but wasn’t quite sure, to decide against Cruz simply because they wouldn’t want to be associated with lunatics like you.
I’d be willing to bet that you haven’t lost Donald Trump a single voter with your lame behavior.

You may be under the mistaken impression that once this election campaign is over, all will be forgiven and forgotten. That may be true for some, but I can tell you right now it will not be forgiven and forgotten by me and I suspect I’m not the only one that feels this way.

From this moment forward you are dead to me. You may as well not exist and I will never acknowledge your presence again, except to repost this comment to remind everyone present what a loser you are.

If I ever see a post that you make I will not click on it. If it’s of interest to me I’ll go to the source where you found it but I will never contribute to your “click count”.

So, farewell loser. I’d like to say it was nice knowing you but it wasn’t.

I was surprised when the spokes-gal said that $100,000 would allow for them to train only 5 dogs.

From what I've heard from people who are involved in the process (volunteers that foster the dogs and are involved in their training for about the first year), that's about right. The dog itself is going to cost $1-2,000, plus another $1-2,000 for first year food, medicine (assuming nothing goes wrong), and supplies, and then they will probably work with professional trainers. Some of those dogs won't make the cut to go on to "college" to become a service dog (and I'd assume some who do won't graduate, but I've never been told that).

Would it be better in your mind that the money had not been raised?

You have some serious soul-searching to do.

And maybe he just wrote that hyperbole to sell books? Did you ever think of that? Maybe he took them all out to lunch and the Hot Dog Shack.

In 1995 Trump gave $200k & raised another $300k to save this parade for Vets.

Look at his history of helping INDIVIDUALS which is only becoming known since he is now runnning. People he has helped have come forward to tell of his help. It did not come from Donald’s mouth, but from theirs. His helping hand goes back decades and to me it shows the good heart of the man. I have no doubt that there are numerous stories we will never know about.
I knew someone a bit like Donald who made numerous gifts, all anonymously, who was considered a tightwad because nobody knew his true self. He didn’t care for them to know. He was a billionaire and people were nagging him incessantly for money for everything under the sun. He developed a hard outward persona somewhat as a protection, when in fact, he was very generous.

I wouldn’t worry about the amount. He is a giver. That is enough for me.

Anyone who knows him knows he has always loved the troops.

I’ve been following this group for a couple of years now on FB.

Their work, reputation, support and staff are unsurpassed. Quality group, quality training methods, quality dogs.

Their end result is astounding and life changing!

Good job, Trump! Excellent choice! I couldn’t be happier or prouder for them!

Trump love Dogs, Dogs love Trump!
Go Trump Go!

You are saying that about someone who has put millions of miles on his plane, had rallies 4-5-6 times a week? I’d say he’s dead serious.

Trump likes beautiful women... and unlike Bill Clinton Trump doesn’t seek out powerless women then rape them or have the State Police bring them to his hotel room.
