Trump has been supporting veterans and veterans causes for decades.
LIARS
Trump donated 100K to the Puppy Jake Foundation
A foundation that trains service dogs for veterans
The media is despicable
Well, these two guys disagree.
Mark “Oz” Geist and John “TIG” Tiegen. Two of the heroes from Beghazi.

“We, perhaps more than any Americans, know the absolute and imperative reason that we elect Donald J. Trump as President of the United States. First and foremost, under a Trump administration, the request for additional security by an ambassador would have been heeded, and second, there is no question, when the attack came, he would have moved heaven and earth to provide the necessary forces to protect and reinforce our warriors.”

National Review Sheds Subscribers Over ‘Don’t Vote Donald Trump’ Editorial

Well this is one Veteran that supports him and the Monies will get in the right hands find something else to worry about.
I wish I could believe that Trump cared about anything other than Trump, but I just don’t see the evidence. He uses hot button issues to get reactions out of people, but I don’t feel that the man has any core conservative principles.
FUNR
Has he in fact sent the money to the various charities he promised? Is there anything out there that says he either did or did not?
I’m curious if the $6m has actually been dispersed yet. I couldn’t find anything online saying either way.
Well, he had to pay all his supporters on FR that defend him and say nice things about him.
I got a couple of hundred thousand, myself.
Did you get any?
Hey, did you hear that Trump wants to kill his own Jewish grandchildren? Yeah, it's true. He's made a deal with the KKK to take care of it for him.
This is a jaw-dropping lie.
The $57,000 number is from another hit piece saying that Trump only gave $57,000 to vet groups from 09-13.

Here’s at least one link showing a vet group receiving $100,000 from the fund raiser.
Here’s another:
The problem is that none of them could make a big deal out of it for fear of losing their tax status.
Here’s a list of the organizations that received funds:
How much has Cruz and Rubio donated this campaign. Probably negative numbers.
As of 4 days ago, only THREE of the charities haven’t received their donations.

The hold-up is that it was money that was ‘pledged’ and they’re still waiting for all of the donors to pay up.
“He’s distributed multi-millions of dollars…It was money that was pledged, and we are still collecting it,” Lewandowski said. “We are continuing to follow up with people who pledge donations.” Additionally, he said: “We’ve added another couple dozen organizations to the list of veteran organizations that will receive donations.”
Some of people on this board act like Trump is accountable to them for his own, private, money. They lambaste him for not spending it the way THEY want him to.
He’s not the government. His money didn’t come from taxes. He can spend it, or not, any way he sees fit. He’s accountable to no one in that regard, and it’s really no ones business.
Insofar as the veterans telethon, I’m sure all of those size able pledges have not been paid yet. He can’t disperse the money until it comes in.

So, I'm taking a vote from the interested parties on this thread.
Do you want this pulled as a lying yellow journalism smear, or do you want it left up as example of how low some "conservatives" will go to support their choice, and smear other candidates?
Which will it be?
I found a picture of John "The Yellow Kid" Noonan online!:
National Review? Good source. Did the author call Trump a prostitute?
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.
