This retired Army officer believes the reasons for not appearing at the rally are valid. If Trump really wanted to help he could have made it an anonymous donation or come to their office for a quiet presentation.

And this retired Air Force Senior NCO has no problem with what Trump did.
I agree.
The proper way to do it would be to quietly present them with the check, without the press or even staffers taking pictures.
He could then have the names of the charities listed on his website without amounts, just the charities names.
But Trump wants maximum bang for his buck regardless of the situation.
Bingo.
I know humility is seen as foolish these days, but I admire it greatly. I don’t expect to see much of it amongst presidential candidates, but this would have been a perfect occasion for Trump to exhibit some.
Well put. Donations should always be made quietly.

You do know that your retirement check that you receive every month courtesy of the taxpayer is partly (actually a significant part) from people like Trump, yet you take the money, right?
A charity does it’s work with money. If they don’t need the money, then they shouldn’t ask for any money.
