Did you actually intend to say that Trump would raise more money for the vets if he kept his fundraiser quiet, or was that just a brain cramp? Please clarify.

"Keeping his fundraiser quiet" means not yelling to the media "Look at me!!!! I'm raising money for the vets!!!"

You know darn well he cares more about the notoriety than he does the vets.

He just knows the suckers will lap it up.

Just how would being quiet help raise any money? People have to know about something so they can donate. Our vets need all the help they can get. I support them 100%. Both brothers were in the military—one in the USAF and the other one in the Army. My daughter also served. I have never, ever seen anyone or any group raise funds without telling people about it. They do flyers, ads, etc. I as involved in raising money for my daughter's high school band to go to Austria and Germany for international competition. We worked our butts off to raise that money. Do you think we would have done that by keeping quiet? Shaking my head.

He couldn’t hold a fundraiser without publicizing it.

Trump is the biggest draw in the country right now, and he’s using his celebrity for the vet’s benefit, for free, instead of letting Fox News benefit by doubling their debate audience.

Of all the complaints about Trump, complaining about him donating his name and time to raising money for wounded vets has to rank as the most petty.
