That’s a lie because I watched Trump give a $100,000 check on stage to an Iowa Vet group at one of his rallies. Its all lies folks.

I don’t think it has to be left up for that reason you suggested.

This was reported on 4 days ago. John Noonan released a trivially-disprovable Trump hitpiece during a major polling day [March 1, 2016 1:00 PM], 4 days AFTER its premise was disproven.

It's out-and-out "yellow journalism". So, yes - if it's left up, it will be left up for as "an example of how low some "conservatives" will go to support their choice, and smear other candidates".

Let people read through all the posts/articles and decide.

I'm sure that some people are fascinated by poking around in full septic tanks, too.

Noonan and his National Yellow e-Spew employers should be relegated to the status of Alex Jones on this website.

Oh I see, only you get to call other people names. I could care less about your stupid list
As a veteran I want to know when people are using us to scam money. Trump raised that 6 million and used it as a talking point, he owes it to veterans to provide current info on how it's being distributed. Fisher House has received nothing, why not? it should have been number 1 on the list.

For me this has nothing to do about whether I support Trump or not, it has to do with Vets

Well your posts and others refuting it are part of the septic tank swirl...according to you.

Why can’t the arguments be presented, bogus or not, and it gets hashed out like everything else regarding this election?

Maybe some truth will seep out of the tank. I’m interested in your arguments and those on the other side.

Find a bunch more yourself, and quit making yourself look stupid.

So that is it, a one million donation in 1983 and some odd here and there donations by his agency. Ohh, don't forget the one time check of 25k.

33 years and lets say Trump gave 1,250,000 over that time. That is nearly 38k a year. This is not taking into account that some of the money was donated by others. Also not taking into account that 1 million back then was not adjusted for inflation since I am not doing compound interest in the next column.

5% interest on 5 billion is 250 million. Again, no compound interest, which Einstein said was one of the most marvelous things he ever saw.

As a matter of fact I heard an interesting tidbit the other day, if Trump never entered business at all and took that 40million he got from his dad back in 1973 and put it in diversified stock market account rolling back into his account each year he would be worth about the same as what he reports he is worth today. Perhaps more.

but Jeff that has nothing to do with helping vets, they talked about him being a leader that would answer calls for security. The math of $57G of 5 Million in donations, says vets ain’t a high priority.... the actions speak a lot louder than words for me.

ymmv

Trump donated one million dollars to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial project in NYC years ago & the head of that project said they could not have done it without Trump’s support. Educate yourself before you bloviate.

Sorry to hear about your reading disability.

So, I’ll put you down for “you want it left up as example of how low some “conservatives” will go to support their choice, and smear other candidates”.

Can you believe how low some “conservatives” will go to support their choice, and smear other candidates?

Repeating the “$57,000” lie, I see.

Wow, a donation over 30 years ago... That shows a lot of dedication to the cause.

Trump gave $25,000 to the Marine sergeant who was imprisoned in Mexico - Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, just a few years ago, to help him get back on his feet after he got back.

You're just one of a handful of annoying low-information cruz-bots on FR.

Many Cruz supporters have enough class not to defend this sort of vile yellow journalism.

You'll dry up and blow away after your Canadian gets his drubbing tonight. :)

That's nice, but let's be honest - that is like you or I giving the guy on the street corner $5 to get a meal at McDonald's. And it was a nice, high-profile gesture to get Trump some public attention and approval.
