Did you read the article? The money is going to the Trump Foundation. Something to which even Donald Trump doesn't give money.

Sneaky.

So he can apply how much of it to “administrative expenses”?

I donated because I believe that Trump has the resources to find the best organizations who will use the money to help vets, not high paid administrators.

Actually, Trump has given more money to the Clinton Foundation than he has to any veterans organizations combined.

Trump initially announced the funds were for Wounded Warrior and other Veterans groups. But there were a flurry of articles criticizing the Wounded Warrior organization for spending too much on themselves and only 60% on veterans.

So Trump is smart to distance himself and give him some time to vet the organizations before distributing the money.

This is rich. So, Trump is actually donating to his own foundation while claiming that it is going to veterans.

Trump has a history of his support for the Military!

So long as someone else is providing the money. And someone is doing the serving.

Setting up a new nonprofit takes time and up to a year to get 501c3 status. Using an existing organization makes sense and is practical.

Structuring it this way likely means that Trump has no legal obligation to distribute the money to veterans groups. It could go to any charitable purpose.

It’s a step up from giving to the Clinton Foundation.
