The GOP frontrunner talks about his love for vets—but his foundation gave far more to the Clintons over the years than any group that helps military veterans.

Donald Trump decided to ditch Thursday night’s debate to raise money for veterans instead. The only problem is the money is going directly to The Donald J. Trump Foundation—an organization that has given more to the Clintons than to the troops.

Trump’s campaign launched donaldtrumpforvets.com today in advance of his showy counter event in Iowa during the Republican debate. The site, featuring the image of a Ukrainian actor posing as a soldier, promises that “100% of your donations will go directly to Veterans needs.”

The more hit pieces I see posted here against Trump, the more I lean toward voting for him in the SC primary. I was weighing my vote, Cruz is a good man. But hundreds of hits on Trump, mostly frivolous, are telling me he is probably the best choice. I don't have a lot of HOPE anymore, but I do want things shaken up with CHANGE. Any "republican" going after him like this is the kind of "republican" that got us into this mess. I wonder how many trolls we have here doing this?

You're gonna need a calculator. We have the usual snarking parrots like libbylu, the faux-intellectuals like Cincinatus'Wife, the OP of this thread of course, just to name three, their goal in life is to tear down Donald Trump any way they can, and it must irk them no end to see that no matter what kind of dung they sling, nothing sticks.

But no worries: Trump will still be here long after their political shelf life has expired.

Ted Cruz is not a Natural Born Citizen and he is not eligible to be President of the United States.

A clear indication of a rabid sycophant is thst they lash out to protect their idol, regardless of whether it is on subject or not.

Care to explain how your comment relates in an way to the subject of the thread?

it’s funny. all i saw was “Blah blah blah” :)

where do you practice law? are you a constitutional scholar?

see, some of the best think he is.

He owned her, and what did she do for him?

[RC one]

Why don’t you accept that you’re stumping for an ineligible candidate and generally wiping your a55 with the constitution? and do you really think he won’t be sued if he actually gets the nomination? (we all know that isn’t going to happen btw ).

[dp0622]

i just got sent a lot of babble. you’ll get it too, i assume :)

the real constitutional scholars be damned!

Whew, I don't hate Trump. I am providing his biography. Why be angry at me? He is the one who praised them, funded them, and said that Hillary'd make a great president. Now that he's singing a new song for personal gain you want to say pointing out who he was and what he's done is pro-Clinton! Interesting.

Reminds me of the prison bride thought process.

Trump's Presidency--- Bought and Paid for. The legacy lives on.

He'll still be there, and next he'll be back to his old self.

I'd guess somewhere between 50 and 100. More will pop up as the election season progresses. Odd mix this election, a good number of them are long time accounts who despise Trump for president, and so likely aren't "trolling" in the conventional sense of "showing up just to make trouble."

You offered fact based criticism of someone’s flawed deity. They don’t like it when you dis their “god on earth.”

[elhombrelibre]

By the time some people figure out he’s just an ultra-rich opportunist. He is a man who got rich with daddy’s money, the banks’ money, the taxpayers money, and government business, and that and his big mouth is his only consistency.

It’s all right there in black and white from far greater men than Mark Levin or Neal Katyal or Paul Clement. That the words don’t register with you isn’t surprising. There were a lot of big words after all and nobody expects you to understand them but understand this, Ted Cruz will not get the nomination and we won’t have to worry about any of this going to court.

[RC one]

the horse clearly ain’t dead yet.

[Ann Archy]

Back when we all thought the foundation was NOT CORRUPTED and a SLUSH FUND!! WHO would give money now??

[lodi90]

And how much has Ted Cruz donated to vets? Or are you just here to smear Trump?

[elhombrelibre]

I know. Trump has become a God to his cult members, not a merely man, like us normal humans. Mention some sordid fact about him and you’re accused of being judgmental, a position none of us took on Bill Clinton. Granted, Bill could count on Trump to praise him when he wallowed in the White House.

[Awgie]

Your ability to see into men's souls and predict the future is amazing. With such talent you must be exceedingly rich and surrounded by only intelligent loving supportive people who hang on your every word.

Oh, sorry, that would make you similar to Trump, and you couldn't have that.
