Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Saturday presented a check for $100,000 to an organization that trains dogs for veterans with PTSD and mobility issues.

Trump gave the check to the Puppy Jake Foundation during a campaign rally in Davenport, Iowa, with Liberty University President Jerry Falwell, Jr.

Did it ever occurr to you that with this gesture he gave a million in free advertising to this organization..taught many people that service dogs are important for veterans with PTSD and that maybe others will now send this organization money.

Jesus also taught that I am not the judge of someone else”s giving.

Yeesh, a nice story and we have to have all the Grumblers in Chief weigh in.

How do you know he “just started giving”?? I have heard Mr Trump has been very generous to a lot of people.

To: goat granny

so how about the money he has donated privately.

I can’t stand self righteous, lecturing Christians.

I sure wouldn’t want to go to your church if that’s the attitude.

Damn.

Are your shorts chafing?

Did I not just applaud this, up thread?

That reply was to one of the “grumblers” who ragged on him for being opportunistic, whereupon I and others posted links to his *other* humbly offered generosities.

FYI, on our trike business site [90% of customers are disabled vets] I maintain a military tribute page *with* links to all the vet/dog organizations.

So you possibly shot off your mouth, prematurely.

Have a lovely evening.

I don’t go to church...me, I never have an attitude, what is your problem. I watched Trumps show and not the debate. As far as I am concerned he did great..I personally don’t give a tinkers dam who gives what its their own business...
