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.

And you should note he could have picked a thousand things to highlight but he chose his one passion which is our vets. I see his drawing attention to our vets not as a gimmick but as a continuation of his absolute sincerity and devotion to them. I see it that way because he could have chosen any number of other things.
If you think about it, you would agree that the cancellation of his appearance on Fox would naturally bring out the media maggots to inquire what he will be doing during those hours. If you noticed, his schedule is chock full of media appearances, rallies and press releases. You would infer naturally that he will fill that time slot with something else and the media would chase it, whatever it would be. He chose to raise funds for our vets and I will bet this fundraiser was always planned and he just had it moved up.
The media was quick to amplify a left-wing group calling itself a veteran’s support group that it would not take donations from Trump. The media is sleazy, dishonest and downright diabolical in their lies and projections. They want to take Trump down. That he chose to adjust his schedule for a vets fundraiser is NOT trying to wrap himself in the flag, it is and has always been a passion of his and was extremely likely already planned as are many other fundraisers for vets.
