Trump's Iowa 'veterans' event will raise money for his own foundation as his campaign is coy about which organizations will benefit.
Donald Trump's highly publicized veterans fundraiser on Thursday night will benefit his own charitable foundation, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Ultimately, Trump's press secretary Hope Hicks said Thursday afternoon, 'the money will go to a number of Veterans charities and organizations.'
The campaign has been coy about which organizations will eventually see a cash infusion.
Trump tweeted on Thursday: 'It is my great honor to support our Veterans with you! You can join me now. Thank you! #Trump4Vets http://www.DonaldTrumpForVets.com.'
The link goes to a website run by the Donald J. Trump Foundation, which promises that '100% of your donations will go directly to Veterans needs.'
He told Fox News host Bill O'Reilly on Wednesday night that 'we're going to raise a lot of money for the veterans. A lot of money is going to be raised. A lot of people are going to be there, and I can do some good.'

Don’t try and act like a fool when you are one
Project we much?
Read post 12, it’s rich.
Really? Which ones and when?
As far as your other point, are you implying that anyone who has never served is being dishonest when they say they support the military?
Let's just say I'm suspect about someone so anxious to invade the Middle East who has never put his own skin on the line, and who actively avoided it.
Trump was not a draft dodger.
Yeah if not for that darned heel spur he would have taken Hanoi all by himself.
Yep. Half a mil to democrats a few hundred thou to Hillary and Bill, some nice bucks for Charlie Rangel, Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid, ‘Carlos Slim’ Weiner, Rahm Emanuel...
How about this for rich?

“I am very important....to GOD. See, I am a Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I listen to Jesus and I let Him direct my path. I listen to the Lord when He tells me to convey a message to someone...including Trump.
Trump listens to me. I won’t tell you how I know that.”

So Trumps listens to you, huh?
I’m just SO SURE that he does.
Takes your calls, has lunch with you, tosses money toward your “ministry”..
Uh huh. Sure he does.
He donated $1M to the New York Vietnam Veterans Memorial as well as helping raise additional money for same memorial. He has a long record of charitable giving beyond that. What percent of that went to veterans organizations and what percent went to other charities, I don’t know.
Trump’s foreign policy positions have been anything but interventionist, aside from his support for taking ISIS out, and organization with terrorist designs on America.
Again, Trump did not dodge the draft. With the use of school deferments, he chose to go to college rather than enlist, but then again, so do millions of young Americans today.
His campaign commercial said he'd defeat ISIS and take their oil. Please explain to me how is he going to do that without intervention and troops in the area to take the oil fields?

And after he graduated he got a medical deferment for a heel spur. A heel spur. Tell me he didn't avoid the draft.
Pretty presumptuous and judgemental for a Christian. Perhaps you’re not that either
Well, charitable foundations are required to report large donations. This is part of the public record. The public record for the Trump Foundation does not list any charitable donations to the Trump Foundation by Donald Trump since 2008.
Sounds like Algores’s “carbon offsets”
LOL!!!
LOL!!
Sorry I missed your post!
As long as it “ain’t” a “SHAM WOW” or whatever that was!!!
Thanks for the ‘warning’ will be on watch!!!!
Take care.........pilgrim
