I don’t believe the community organizer in the White Hut could have pulled this off in 48 days, let alone 48 hours, do you?
2) I'm glad Trump made it easier for average folks to support these worthy vet causes. They could have gotten gifts there on their own, but the Trump Foundation infrastructure simplified things, an 'in kind' gift from the Donald.
3) I presume, in due time, Trump will provide some kind of accounting as to how much has been passed along to the 22 worthy targets of this event. He's smart enough to collect the easy publicity from releasing that information. And he's smart enough to use it to counter the meme some in the media have put out that he doesn't do much for charities in general and veterans' charities in particular. Given the size it will will take awhile compile the information, although I hope it will be expedited like the rest of the event.
4) However, the meme that this was all accomplished in 24-48 hours may not be completely true, although making it look so is marketing gold. We know when Trump told FOX and the public he wouldn't be debating and shortly thereafter when he announced the event. But do we know whether he decided to do that some time earlier, told his staff and had them start the planning? A fair amount could have been done without letting anyone outside his staff know. And even without him specifically telling anyone, ahead of this time, he'd publicly threatened debate boycotts in the past. His excellent staff might have developed contingency plans in case he really did it some day. He's been big for vets all campaign so they might have even anticipated an event for them. Very well marketed in any case, could have been done in the advertised time, but I bet some of the planning was done in advance either directly per Trump or as contingency planning.
