Dumping on Trump for not giving more to veterans is absurd. Of all the candidates, who has done more? Who has come even remotely close?
I agree.
He did raise $6 million to veterans causes. Let’s wait and see how it all plays out before crucifying the guy for trying to do something good.
I know it’s all about election time fighting but I’m not thrilled with the petty stuff.
Trump has 100x more money than all of the other GOP pols put together, so the comparison is absurd. Candidates give what they can, and for most people who are not billionaires, living expenses are a day-to-day concern. What's suspicious, as pointed out in the article, is how his donations went up significantly as his presidential campaign approached, from a zero base in 2012,
I think you completely missed the point of the article, comment, and links within. Why now all of a sudden and why at the time of debates where he should have been, and when it hurt both events, and pulling a "celebrity" and "military" cards to get political allies into giving to his foundation.
Instead, the excuses sound like typical Clintons' diversion attack machine: "old story, time to move on" ... "what did you/they do?" ... "so what?" — all without thinking about or answering the real questions posed.
Do check the comments and questions within the links, to get a different perspective than Clintonian / Obamian "deny, deny, deny."
He has given more money to democrats than veterans over the years.
Liberal and progressive democrats.
