Donald Trump Donated More to Clintons Than Veterans

The GOP frontrunner talks about his love for vets—but his foundation gave far more to the Clintons over the years than any group that helps military veterans.

Donald Trump decided to ditch Thursday night’s debate to raise money for veterans instead. The only problem is the money is going directly to The Donald J. Trump Foundation—an organization that has given more to the Clintons than to the troops.

Trump’s campaign launched donaldtrumpforvets.com today in advance of his showy counter event in Iowa during the Republican debate. The site, featuring the image of a Ukrainian actor posing as a soldier, promises that “100% of your donations will go directly to Veterans needs.”

Please report whatever you find. I don’t consider public records a smear. Granted for those who worship Trump with all their heart and soul and without critical thought, it’s not right to mention Trump’s donations, three wives, adultery, illegal immigrant labor, etc.

Ted Cruz is not a Natural Born Citizen and he is not eligible to be President of the United States.


So why not tell us about trump’s wonderful generosity towards veterans? Why aren’t you guys still crowing over it?

What does Cruz have to do with trump’s miserly grandstanding?

More pro Bush propaganda.


Truth is Truth, even if it gives you “butt-hurt.”

Unless you’ve got some evidence contradicting the facts it’s not really “propaganda.”

And since it’s legal for a candidate to donate any unspent campaign funds to charity, can anyone guess what charity Hillary’s money will go to?

He’s not eligible to be POTUS. Why is he still talking? Because some of us can’t accept reality. well, some of us need to start accepting reality so we can unify. We are not unifying. We are allowing this ineligible candidate to keep talking and his words are dividing us. he needs to stop talking. His supporters need to accept reality.

Not a single word there about how very, very, very enthused Trump was with the Clintons, which is the subject of the thread.

Ted Cruz is not Donald Trump's demon. Slaying Cruz does absolutely nothing at all to put these problems with Trump to bed.

Trump has made a career playing people. He's the shallowest opportunists. No good judge of character would examine Trump and take away anything less than that.

Now here you are, thinking that you are the only one that Trump has never lied to. That this time, he really, really, loves you. You know this because THIS TIME he's sincere, THIS TIME he's honest.

I'll have to do some reading and see if its possible to present with battered wife syndrome, when you are just the cheap tramp on the side that thinks you are the one controlling the sugar daddy.

Hey Travis you’re like the last guy I thought I’d see mocking someone for raising money and awareness for veterans issues.

Just wow...

all those men agreeing that he isn’t a NBC, they pretty much all had law degrees.

You may be right, and it’s an interesting debate. Is it, though, germane to this thread? No, it’s a tactic to keep us from discussing anyone but Trump and only Trump in a glowing way that does not reflect his character, his personality, his temperament, his history, and his statements.

I tell ya, BobL, he’s too leaky a vessel to put your trust in. I know you’re not going to change your mind, but character matters. And Trump has betrayed more than he’s remained loyal to anything beyond making money and making him the center of attention.

He never said that about all veterans, just McCain.

Curious Presidential selection criteria. Are you tallying the Cruz hit pieces in your decision making as well? Will whoever gets the most win your vote?

How so? It has never been actually litigated.

Snark and bias are the stock in trade of the anti-Trump legions. If The Donald had said that the proceeds of the last night’s fundraiser were going to wounded veterans, than that is where it is going. People may not always agree that The Donald has always donated his time, money and effort to equally worthy causes, but unlike certain other foundations, he does not welch.

Welching - to not pay a person as promised, for some form of debt or losing side of a bet.
