“Trump has been supporting veterans and veterans causes for decades.”

So, where did the Ducking Donald show money go?

Trump has been supporting veterans and veterans causes for decades.

From the article...

$57,000 has been donated to seven organizations that directly benefit military veterans or their families.

From another article the years that money was given was 2009 to 2013.

Liberal Snopes even has a article up on this issue. Rating it Part True, Part False.

Do I personally thing Trump will dole out the money aspromised. Yes, these things take time. National Review is sorta jumping the gun IMHO.

Do I know that Trump has for decades helped Vets? Well NO. Perhaps one of you Trumpetts can link me to info I can digest that goes back "decades".

So he says. But really - a man who says he is worth $10 B and is so committed to veterans and wounded warriors - and his foundation only gives $57k over a period of 5 years (a little over $11K per year)? And most of that money was raised from other people, not even donated by Trump himself.

And at the same time, Trump was repeatedly attempting to get the city of NY to keep veterans who were street vendors from doing business on 5th Avenue near his office building. That's some really great support from Trump!
