Trump's Iowa 'veterans' event will raise money for his own foundation
Daily Mail ^ | 1/28/2016

Trump's Iowa 'veterans' event will raise money for his own foundation as his campaign is coy about which organizations will benefit.

Donald Trump's highly publicized veterans fundraiser on Thursday night will benefit his own charitable foundation, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Ultimately, Trump's press secretary Hope Hicks said Thursday afternoon, 'the money will go to a number of Veterans charities and organizations.'

The campaign has been coy about which organizations will eventually see a cash infusion.

Trump tweeted on Thursday: 'It is my great honor to support our Veterans with you! You can join me now. Thank you! #Trump4Vets http://www.DonaldTrumpForVets.com.'

The link goes to a website run by the Donald J. Trump Foundation, which promises that '100% of your donations will go directly to Veterans needs.'

He told Fox News host Bill O'Reilly on Wednesday night that 'we're going to raise a lot of money for the veterans. A lot of money is going to be raised. A lot of people are going to be there, and I can do some good.'

How silly. He is obviously using a pre established 501 org to collect the donations

You are all hereby collectively put on notice that at any moment you mat be subject to the hurling of randomly selected (and most likely irrelevant) scripture verses and may be accused (among other things) of being Children of Satan.

(This is sometimes known here on FR as "The Pam Wham.")




(For the record, I personally support *BOTH* Donald Trump and Ted Cruz and believe they each have something to offer the nation. I do not support mindless cheerleading nor vitriolic attacks for or against either candidate.)

Actually, Trump has given more money to the Clinton Foundation than he has to any veterans organizations combined.

It’s a step up from giving to the Clinton Foundation.

Well.. he’s afraid of a girl who might ask... o my.. unfair questions.. looks like Mr Single Payor 2000 is going to hide behind his buddies at msnbc and raise money for himself.
What a,surprise.. when he ran for prep in 2000... same same.
I just can’t imagine who wants a leader like that.

Yup. It’s amazing how so many people don’t understand business organizations, accounting, auditing procedures, etc.

No, Trump has given money to veterans charities. As far as your other point, are you implying that anyone who has never served is being dishonest when they say they support the military? That would apply to around 90% of our country. Trump was not a draft dodger. He didn’t serve, but neither have most Americans.

You are officially on notice to be saved by Jesus. If not saved, thats known as being condemned in your sins.
