Foundation records are public. Hillary would.be the first to tell you she would preferred to have facts about hers not made public.

And you know, that's a fair point, and reasonably offered.

You've earned vastly more respect than these fake-moon-landing brand of loons claiming it's a scam to steal from veterans.

His foundation gave $57,000 to veterans in five years - a little over $11,000 a year, none of it from Trump personally.

So, Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi is not a veteran?

Prior to this, I heard/read that 100% of the Trump Foundation’s funds go to charities. NO, repeat NO, funds expended on overhead/salaries/goodies. None.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

While I realize that you posted this in a very ignorant & sad attempt to demonize Trump and these efforts, I want you to know that I used the info to make my donation, so thank you!

Between 2009 and 2013, Trump’s non-profit donated between $100,001 and $250,000 to the Clinton Foundation. Over the same period of time, Trump’s group gave only $57,000 to veterans groups...”

Considering the fact that the site was just put up this morning, and they have raised over $180,000 already, I'd say that by the time the event is over, the amounts to the Klytons will be chump change.

Three weeks ago I thought that Trump might be an acceptable alternative to Cruz. I think that people here are responding with anger to Trump’s abhorrent slash and burn tactics. No, it is impossible to understand why anyone here still supports this vicious liar who destroys everyone in his path.

What bothers me is Trumps penchant to use first responders and vets as political cover.

As TontoKowalski posted - a fair point, and reasonably offered.

So, what sort of "political cover" did Trump need when he donated $1 million in 1983 to build the Vietnam Veterans Plaza in New York City?

I’m outta here for today, but Trump has demonized himself. Read about Trump’s Bob Vander Platts lies. One small but powerful example of why Trump is now disdained.

I was wrong, Trump was making $250 million a year from the “Apprentice’. Yeah, he left that show, ran for President, got into a phony fight with Fox News, just so he could steal a couple of million from veterans.

Their $57,000 figure takes into account the money Trump personally gave to Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, no doubt.

**snicker**

They're just making stuff up.

In the past, only a small fraction of the donations from Trumps foundation have gone to veterans. Hopefully, this money will at least be kept separate so that it ultimately goes to veterans.


Just curious, How much money has Ted Cruz donated to veterans?

I don’t see it as my place to tell people how to spend their money or where. I have no money envy problems. What I have is more than adequate for my needs and my wife and I decide who and what we send money to.

My problems with Trump are not personal, they are political and I will defend them forcefully but I am not going anywhere near his family, his wealth or how he chooses to use that wealth except when he uses it to advance politics and politicians I abhor.

That’s about it I guess.

So far the ratio is $8 for Hillary for every $1 to Veterans.

You’re a sucker if you think that’s fair.

From Tax records it seems Cruz only donated 1% of his income to charity.

Reflected in the fact that his poll #'s are plummeting, right? Oh, wait...never mind! Lol. Need some cheeeeeeze with that whine?

Only Cruztown inhabitants would find a reason to complain about Trump donating money to vets. How much have Ted & Heidi Faye Cruz donated to vets? Inquiring minds want to know.

Those that support Trump won’t realize their mistake until its too late, meaning if he wins the Presidency, they will be in for a rude awakening

Trump says a few things you love to hear, and some people automatically fall in love, some blindly in love, they will be the most disappointed.
