Unbelievable. How many of us small donors joined in and wanted to do something positive for vets? What does this guy want? Public money handouts?
The person who rejected this put pride in his political views ahead of the needs of Veterans. Disgusting.

Seriously. The vets need the money, don’t they? Is he going to put that amount in the till himself to make up for the loss?

Why did it have to pass through Trump's foundation first?
Here's more on that.
Aug 2015: There's something fishy about Donald Trump's charitable donations
"....Without an endowment, the fund has continued to give grants only as a result of contributions from others.
But pressed by the AP on the details of his contributions, Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks provided a partial list of donations that appeared to correspond with the foundation's gifts - indicating that Trump may be counting other people's charitable giving as his own."....

Did you donate to the Trump vet fund?

No, what disgusting is Trump using vets as props for a rally.

Or are your "charity" and outrage only for the benefit of The Donald, and not the vets at all? Hmmmm.

He was willing to accept the money, just not at a Teump campaign rally, which could threaten his organization’s tax exempt status. More relevant question is, why was Trump trying to give his check as part of a campaign rally?

Disgusting? 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.

The person who rejected this put pride in his political views ahead of the needs of Veterans. DisgustingThat mind set is 'disgusting.'
Our Vets have honor - which includes not being used for some cheap political gain. VETS can't be bought.
How anyone can condone A politician using our VETS for pumping up his campaign is either braindead and/or "disgusting."
