I don’t think that Trump would steal it for personal use. However, in the past, the Donald J. Trump foundation has donated more to the Clinton Foundation than it did to veterans. Here is the key quote from the article.

“...According to a recent analysis of the organization’s spending history by the Weekly Standard, Trump’s non-profit donated more money to the Clinton Foundation than it did to veterans causes.

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...”

From what I understand, much of Trump’s philanthropy is personal. I.e., he will give to/support individuals (police/firemen/vets) more than veterans or police groups. If I had his $$$, I’d do the same. Too many of those groups have inordinate amounts of donations going to administrative costs/salaries/travel and especially fundraising.

Until relatively recently, there wasn’t much known about the Clinton Foundation’s crookedness. (tho, certainly, there should have been) They managed to do “just enough” good works to cover the corruption. The Clintons may be sleazy and self-serving, but they are not stupid.

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.

Maybe he means it will go to WHITE HOUSE veterans, like Hillary.
