Several people listed as part of the “Veterans for Trump coalition” formed by Donald Trump following his incendiary comments about John McCain’s war record have denied they are part of the group, the Guardian has learned.
Trump’s campaign announced the formation of the New Hampshire-based group in response to criticism of the business mogul’s labelling of McCain, who spent five and a half years in a North Vietnamese jail, where he was tortured, as “not a war hero”.
A number of people were named as members of “Veterans for Trump” on Trump’s election website. “These veterans have pledged their support to Mr Trump in the primary, and they will be advocating for him,” a press release said.
But when the Guardian contacted several claimed Veterans for Trump members on Friday, three said they had never heard of the organisation and had not signed up as members.
“I don’t know anything about it,” said Ernie Fusi, an 88-year-old second world war veteran from Atkinson, New Hampshire. His name was among 51 “Veterans for Trump” whose details were sent out to the media and listed on Trump’s website.

If you’re going to throw around words like rube and uninformed, I suggest you take a closer look at the uninformed bespectacled rube you have supported for the last ten years.
Haha, you are such a hypocrite. Yes, I have an argument, but, you glossed over it so that you could hurry up and attack me. Just support who you want and leave others alone.
Boy! I understand now why Trump is your hero.
So, is this ignorant, flame thrower who started this thread a Yeb Bushie? Pity the fool!
And I understand why a complete moron is your hero.
And your point is?
No, that’s not her hero.
Apparently being a POW doesn't make you a hero, but shooting more videos than VC does.
Trump is as “conservative” as any person running for president with the exception of Ted Cruz. I hope he destroys each and everyone one of these democrat-lite politicians. Other than Cruz, who I support, I trust not a one of them that are badmouthing Trump for saying things they’re scared of saying. It’s getting to be funny. All these grown men scared of him. Why is Trump beating them all in the polls? Poll after poll after poll. But e not afraid, Faux News any day now will come out with a poll showing Trump trailing to their boy Bush, which will be utter nonsense.
Hope they end up at BK flippin homo burgers!
I think I’m going to vote for “The Rent’s Too Damn High” fellow. Is he running again?
Hey...I walked it back (and “2 days” is your construct here).
I reserve my skepticism unless and until we actually see the written documentation that refutes the 3 deniers.
I’m not so smitten with Trump that I just take everything he or his campaign says as absolute fact without evidence.
Haha, that goes for any running for office. I don’t trust much of anything the media prints, says or spews out of their biased mouths -or fingers. Personally, I don’t really care who signed it and who didn’t. If these people didn’t - then they can have a cease and desist order from an attorney to stop it - otherwise, they need to pony up too.

Good point! The argument of “proving the negative” is placed on the assertor.
This minutiae.
This is minutiae.
“Things that make one go hmmm.”
Yes, in the hurry and bustle of a campaign being thrown together, this the first mistake like that in world history.
“But the second you lose your ardor for him, or question him, your usefulness to him is over and he will turn on a dime and hit out at you and demand that everyone who wants to bask in his great light, must turn against you too.”
That is fairly a neat trick, to be able to look that deep into someone’s heart you have probably never seen or said a word to. What else can you do?
LOL!
And, we are enjoying the benefits of a narcissistic megalomaniac in the white house right now. That would be my discription of Trump.
