The Weekly Standard reports that Trump's foundation, meanwhile, gave at least $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation.

Mister Donald (lifelong pro-choice DEM, lifelong supporter of socialized medicine, and from the above, Hillary buddy) Trump.

Super salesman Trump? Thanks anyway.

Your other hubris aside, what did Trump say about McQueeg that was incorrect?

FOX , sorry the establishment just can’t let it go. They were questioning him before the event took place.

The list of 22 organizations which will receive monies from the rally were actually posted shortly after the event. In fact, I believe the list was posted outside the entrance.

"trump didn’t give a flying damn about veterans until he stepped on his dork about mccain. it’s all a big trumpian diversion."

$1million donation to build the NY Veterans Memorial in '95 was quite the diversion.

Dumping on Trump for not giving more to veterans is absurd. Of all the candidates, who has done more? Who has come even remotely close?

I think you completely missed the point of the article, comment, and links within. Why now all of a sudden and why at the time of debates where he should have been, and when it hurt both events, and pulling a "celebrity" and "military" cards to get political allies into giving to his foundation.

Instead, the excuses sound like typical Clintons' diversion attack machine: "old story, time to move on" ... "what did you/they do?" ... "so what?" — all without thinking about or answering the real questions posed.

Do check the comments and questions within the links, to get a different perspective than Clintonian / Obamian "deny, deny, deny."

"Do some research about what Trump has done for the veterans over the years and then maybe you’ll shut your trap."

That won't happen. He only knows what Cruz tells him to know, only says what Cruz tells him to say.

There's still a few of them around.

Flashback: Trump Saved NY Veterans Day Parade Marking 50th Anniversary of End of WWII

A meme was started by Trump antagonists in certain conservative circles that Donald Trump does next to nothing to help veterans. It turns out Trump has been generous with veterans over the past decades–all it takes is a little more research than those with an ax to grind seem willing to do.

UPI reported in 1995 how Trump was credited with ‘saving’ the New York Veterans Day Parade. The parade that year was marking the fiftieth anniversary of the end of World War II.

This was not Trump’s first time supporting the New York Veterans Day Parade. In 1987 Trump gave $1 million to help the parade when it was in transition, according to a history of the parade reported by Business Insider in 2013.

If so, I have no problem with his efforts. I know a lot of veterans who need all the help they can get.

It did and is. Jim listed the groups earlier today (Post 36). I was very pleased with the ones chosen. My family is deeply involved with DAV.

Like there’s not a difference between “raising” and “giving.” And few know the individuals the Trumps have helped privately, apparently for years. But this is the crap one expects the weekend before an important election. You just have to take it for what it is and consider the source.
