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?

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,

Oh, yeah. And prior to last week, he hadn't given a dime to his own foundation since a $30,000 donation in 2008.

Collecting everyone else’s money, throwing in a pittance (compared to his overall net worth .. $1 mill is a lot for most of us, but just a ham sandwich to someone worth multiple billions), then accepting all the accolades.
