Evidently, politics is more important than helping people.

My policy is never to give money to any national charity.

The only one that I thought was well run and decent was the Salvation Army. Too bad, politics has now affected them also.

The other two I would never give any money to.

Maybe they can find another venue in the area which allows Jews and African Americans to join. Thanks to Donald Trump.

American Red Cross is a rip-off. Never heard of the last one. Salvation Army won’t get anything from us this Holiday season.

Probably more than that since conservatives tend to be more generous than liberals.

Guess they can get a better price ( like free?) and raise more funds elsewhere

This is how they repay the Trumps for years and years of charitable support?

Buh bye self serving losers

Guess they only want the government to help people now, eh?

Watch them beg for tax $$$ after this. Mark my words.

I know for a fact that Susan G. Komen and the Red Cross give to Planned Parenthood. Don’t know about Salvation Army, but you can bet that REAL Christian groups would not be pulling charity fund raisers. REAL Christian groups know Trump has done more for them than any president in memory. Only liberal groups snub Trump.

That’s the end of giving to them. I thought they were bad anyway.

I will agree with you. The talking head—never Trumpers, Michael Medved and a few others, who always run adds in support of this group during the Christmas season, will see a backlash. Wonder how they will deal with it.
