Trump promises info on veterans fundraiser
By Ben Schreckinger | 05/29/16 03:02 PM EDT
Donald Trump will hold a news conference on Tuesday to unveil a full list of groups that received donations from a veterans fundraiser held in January, the businessman announced on Sunday.
"We're announcing on Tuesday all of the groups that've gotten the money," Trump said during remarks at a motorcycle rally in front of the Lincoln Memorial. "We're having a big press conference and it's going to be a great day."
The fundraiser has become a subject of controversy as journalists have been unable to account for the full $6 million the businessman initially said he raised through the January event. The Trump campaign has sent inconsistent signals about how much of his own money Trump has donated and when.
Clinton has collected millions and only gives 10% to charity, but the news media never talks about that.
Where is all the money the Clintons have collected, they only give 10% to charity.

I’m wanting to see which organizations Trump has vetted for future references. It should help all of us who have given and wondered if the money was actually used toward the men and women. This should be great for ALL involved now and in the future!
NOT SAYING TRUMP NEEDED TO GIVE THE DEALS BUT IT DOES GIVE HIM ANOTHER WELL DESERVED PAT ON THE BACK...
Lew Rockwell is a brilliant man, for those with the intellect to recognize it.
Yes, it really is, but the good news is that much of it is coming out now. So many courageous patriots are digging and exposing what has been hidden for years.
This I do not know. Perhaps contact the website owner of the podcast?
“They rip him but there is not other candidate that has done so much for the vets”
I’d start the press conference with a big screen TV on stage running an endless loop of clips of all the pundits and media dumping on Trump for his supposed “lack of accounting” of the funds he raised. To use a Trump word most of the media is disgusting.
Nikos, I have been on Youtube.
I was thinking this Memorial Day of the veterans in my family, who were in WW2, and who have since passed from this mortal plane.
I remember them as men in their 30s and 40s. and remembered how they clowned around and were so much fun at weddings, and how they could cut a rug when the band played swing music.
This led me to find this video:
Hooked on Swing Dancing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHANNkKBSNU
An orchestra plays a medley of swing music songs, with movie clips of dancing in the 1940s and 1950s.
This was before my time—the first dance I learned was the Twist in 1960 as a little kid.
But the energy of this generation as they faced an uncertain future was reflected in their music and their dance.
I wonder how many of our Trump family have danced like this?
The main two characters I care about on Turn is the woman spy who almost married the British soldier and the Continential Army spy. I truly hope they do something good with her character.
Thanks for the correction on the amount.
I agree. I’ve thought about Ollie North as a potential for Sec’y of Defense - if not him, maybe Lt. Col Allen West (I’m not aware of all the military so there may be others).
Wow...just beautiful. Thanks.
Wow...just beautiful. Thanks.
Am betting Trump gives 100%
So the USA gets to compare
100%. — 10%
Actually, the story came out that the Red Cross was hoarding the $ for other “routine” disasters.
I see Trump is heading back to California on Wednesday, for a rally in Sacramento. He sure looks like he’s taking the effort to win California serious. At this stage in the 2008, and 2012 campaigns, McCain and Romney had stopped showing up, and just concentrated on raising money.
.
I noticed that earlier...the latest/new episode of Turn. Cannot wait!! I’m not sure why they’re airing it so late, this time around. I’ll just have to dvr each episode.
$6 BILLION. Here is the link to the IG report regarding the missing money from April 2014. I’ve searched online, and can find not a single update regarding the missing money, except for a couple of mentions of the original articles from 2014 in 2015 and one in 2016. That tells me that the money has not shown up, and no one in the media are interested enough to look into the matter (surprise surprise)
