the vets should feel screwed

Since you asked, it appears the “Vets Charity” is probably a 501c(3) - most are. If that’s correct, they cannot accept an award at a campaign event. It’s too political and hazards their not for profit status.

So they were correct to decline the offer at the venue. It isn’t about pride or “dirty” Trump money. It’s about the law and taxes.

I would think indifferent, as long as the funds are made available through some charity.

The man has already helped at least 10 families. He has nothing to prove to you. Go out and help 10 families yourself and leave him alone.

you ask: “How do the vets feel about that?”

The Vets across the country were upset from the beginning that the huckster would use them for his own political gain - told him ‘no thanks’

Our VETS have honor - and ANYONE who can’t see that Trump was/is using the Vets for his own purposes is BLIND?

‘Hope this doesn’t include you.

(signed - a gramma surrounded by VETS)

This vet fells honorable about such things.

If I could be bought or rented, I’d be voting for Hillary or Trump.
