Why is this even a “story”? Trump has not offered to help this group in any way.

Maybe, just in case, they want him to know up front they’d rather take money from george (I’ll help load the boxcars) soros than from him. Just so he doesn’t bother to offer maybe.

That want to make it seem that Veterans Groups (in general) don’t want Trumps’ Money. They are the only group making claims even though they aren’t getting anything, and the media’s headlines are always something of the such “Veterans Refuse Trumps Donations”

I agree, looks like this group inserted themselves in this for media attention. It probably worked too, because I have never heard of them before...

There were many reports smearing Trump that “many” Vet groups were making a point to refuse Trump’s money.

Someone had the head of IAVA on their news broadcast yesterday He was a real jerk and finally outed himself as a Hillary supporter.

Because this "charity" grabbed some free publicity by getting out in front of the story by refusing any money from Trump before the first penny was raised. They only succeeded in making themselves look bad.
