> “But anything he does for veterans or other charities should be kept separate from campaigning.”

Apparently, you did not read the link I gave you.

Prior to running for President, he has always been quiet and silent about his incredible support for veterans.

Caring for veterans is his passion and the vets know it. He can’t keep it quiet because the vets won’t let him.

Read the link I gave you. It is brief part of his history with vets before running for President.

You’re correct, I didn’t read it. I don’t question that he’s done good things for vets or that he sincerely has their best interests at heart or that he has done those things behind the scenes. Kudos to Trump for that.

My contention is that he has scheduled a fund-raiser for vets to keep himself in the spotlight as part of his political campaigning. He want eyes on himself and that’s why he has talked up the ratings hit Fox news will take on the debate with him being absent, and why he is talking up competitive TV coverage of his event. The very fact that Trump has supported vets quietly in the past convicts him for shining a spotlight on support for them now; he simply wants that spotlight and he’s using vets to get it.

There is nothing wrong with a political candidate wanting, and taking, the spotlight. He just shouldn’t use a charitable cause to do it.
