The GOP frontrunner talks about his love for vets—but his foundation gave far more to the Clintons over the years than any group that helps military veterans.

Donald Trump decided to ditch Thursday night’s debate to raise money for veterans instead. The only problem is the money is going directly to The Donald J. Trump Foundation—an organization that has given more to the Clintons than to the troops.

Trump’s campaign launched donaldtrumpforvets.com today in advance of his showy counter event in Iowa during the Republican debate. The site, featuring the image of a Ukrainian actor posing as a soldier, promises that “100% of your donations will go directly to Veterans needs.”

Vets for props, like all of the biography, doesn't match reality.

Ted Cruz is not a Natural Born Citizen and he is not eligible to be President of the United States.

"Tax forms examined by The Daily Beast show that in 2009, the Donald J. Trump Foundation gave a whopping $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation (then called the William J. Clinton Foundation). The following year, Trump’s Foundation, a registered 501c group, gave another $10,000 to the Clinton Foundation. Topping this off was a hefty gift of $1,000,000 to World Wrestling Entertainment, a company for which Trump has made appearances in the past."

"Over a five-year span, from 2009 to 2013, the foundation gave just $57,000 to veterans’ groups, according to an estimate Forbes made last December. A significant portion of that comes from a single $25,000 donation in 2011, to the Fisher House, which helps provide homes to veterans and their families"

More pro Bush propaganda.

I wish they publish how much Clinton foundation actually trickelled down to those in need, versus the dollars that went to Administration, travel, Clintons, Clinton lackeys...

"Not only has his charitable arm not reached the hands of people coming back from war, it has instead lined the pockets of political interests like the Clintons, against whom Trump claims he is currently fighting."

I do too.

[Travis McGee]

Donito Trumpolino.

How so? There is not one word of pro-Bush sentiment. I suppose telling the truth about Trump could be pro-Bush in some alternative universe.

No, look at Trumps answer to why he invited PIAPS to his wedding; “I paid her”

He didn’t donate to Clinton, he bought her, he owned her.

Trump is hated by the demodogs because he turned on them - they wanted to stay bought

Will Trump give money to groups with POWs? Or will he only give to groups with veterans who just "didn't get captured"?— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) January 28, 2016

The more hit pieces I see posted here against Trump, the more I lean toward voting for him in the SC primary. I was weighing my vote, Cruz is a good man. But hundreds of hits on Trump, mostly frivolous, are telling me he is probably the best choice. I don’t have a lot of HOPE anymore, but I do want things shaken up with CHANGE. Any “republican” going after him like this is the kind of “republican” that got us into this mess. I wonder how many trolls we have here doing this?

[elhombrelibre]

It's not about Bush; it's about character and overreach.

How much have the Clintons donated to veterans?

[elhombrelibre]

Right. And the cow jumped over the moon.

[Awgie]

Wow, Donald Trump is a secret mole, a troll for democrats and the Clinton's, a liberal obsessed with liberal causes, a Trojan horse designed to undermine conservatives, a self promoting carnival barker. And to think he almost had me fooled.

What this country needs is a lawyer who has good solid donors supporting and buying access.

[Helicondelta]

He donated 1 million to the vets yesterday.

[libbylu]

No surprise there. Donnie always looks for a return on his money. That’s why trumpees worship him.

"I wish they publish how much Clinton foundation actually trickled down to those in need"

It's already been done. The Klintons keep about 85% and trickle down 15%:
