--He says, then proceeds to brag.--

If you can do it, it's not bragging.

They report the news.

This is where you're wrong.

Plus Trump knows this azz wipe would NEVER give this money to vets, unless public outcry somehow force Zuck Zuck to cave. Either way Trump wins.

"I believe that all profits from this broadcast should go to various VETERANS groups, a list of which I will send to you in the near future," he wrote.

Interesting. Trump hit CNN with an unspoken "Ask not what your country can do for you..." and followed with the answer of giving something back (all of it, actually) to those who've sacrificed the most.

I'm sure there must be a few in the past, but I don't recall a time since Reagan when I've seen this done to the progressives.

Instead, it's just been years' worth of loathing and disgust for the infinite glut of politicians who tell us how tough they are while they're caving in to progressive criticism and enabling our Godless fundamental transformation.

“Bet CNN loathes the military”

Remember the “Tailwind” story CNN ran with years ago?

Blatantly anti-military, that the military had employed nerve gas in Vietnam.

Relied almost completely on fabricated material, including an “eyewitness testimonial”/ confession from a beloved retired Navy admiral who was well into Alzheimers.

That'll do.

I do think its clever of DT to make CNN squirm for a change.

The only time I have ever seen CNN is in the airport and that was in 1994.

If CNN won’t give profit to vets then Trump can say pay me or I won’t show and I will donate the money to vets.

I am a CRUZ voter but even I will watch this to see the smarmy pukes with CNN get their heads handed to them.

CNN should tell the 10 billion dollar man to give up one of his billions, then CNN will think about it.

I wouldn’t watch a minute of CNN’s debate if Trump’s not there.

It will be fun watching him beat CNN & the GOPe candidate-losers about the head & shoulders.

Youvseem to not understand what Trump has done here. He has put CNN squarely on the spot and now the entire world is waiting for CNN to either look like the coldest bastars on the planet by refusing to help our soldiers, or else keep the money and be seen as just another greedy capitalist organization.

BTW, I agree CNN is entitled to keep the profit since they are a business concen. What Trump has done is to put them in a lose, lose situation.

No he didn't. CNN is a business. They report the news.

CNN doesn't "report" the news, they work hard to shape opinion on news events. Huge difference.
