A day after Donald Trump announced the formation of “Veterans For Trump,” a small New Hampshire-based coalition that supports the bellicose business mogul’s bid for the White House, at least two of the veterans named as supporters distanced themselves from team Trump. The announcement of the veterans group came five days after Trump said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is only considered a war hero because he was captured by the enemy during the Vietnam War.
“I don’t know anything about it,” said Ernie Fusi, a World War II veteran whose name was still listed among the 51 veteran supporters on Trump’s campaign website on Saturday.
In a report published Friday by the Guardian, the 88-year-old resident of Atkinson, New Hampshire, said he never mentioned to anyone that he supported the New York billionaire. Fusi said he's abstaining from the Republican primary vote but that he would vote for whichever candidate emerges as the Republican nominee at the 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland next July.
Donald Richards, a veteran based in Laconia, New Hampshire, and his wife Connie were also named as supporters, but Richards, who is president of a local parks association, said the only connection he has to the candidate is that Trump paid his group to rent a community center for a July 17 event.

From these comments you’d think people were talking about the race for sophomore class president.
Hey, Chelsea - watch those hands!
Sloppy staff work, Donald
Someone needs to be fired
Getting pretty close to a BINGO.
Remember in 12, very similar to Herman folks.
If Trump can keep up the MO, he will be tough to beat out of the nom. If it were to come down to Trump vs hitlery, there may be some dem crankup, but many of their dem plantations folks will just see it as a fight between two rich white people and have something more important to do on Nov. 7.
The difference being that Hillary relies on donors to grease her grimy palms.
You was your candidate in that election?
Who...
Oh yeah, one further observation. Walker looks better in his jeans than Perry does his. LOL
LOL.
This photo from some charity game on Trump’s own golf course is supposed to upend Trump’s campaign? Fuhgeddaboutit.
LOL...I do remember that love affair, with LaRaza Rick, that this poster had, during the last presidential election cycle. We see how that worked out.
What is it about the amnesty loving candidates that attracts you, CW?
I’ve always been a Trump watcher; not a fan. All NYers are Trump watchers. He’s an open book, he’s fun, he’s lively unlike the rube you supported for what seemed like ten to twenty years - including posting embarrassingly Brokeback Mountain-like photos of him. Thank God Scott Walker isn’t particularly photogenic. Something to remember if you want people to vote for him.
Because "bellicose" was absolutely necessary for advancing the story.

Does any candidate who takes donations need to quit now?
How deliciously Alinsky.
Yes, avoiding the question is definitely Alinsky-like.
Seeing the whites of their eyes was an skeptical analogy aside that should be applied, and my point. Trump could have allowed Cruz’s effort to sink in, or supported it. Before he went after his other compeditor Walker. But didn’t. Trump, along with hitting Walker also pushed Cruz off the front page killed the Import Export bank among other Senate issues while grabbing it.
