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.”

No, he only slurred those who were POWs. He said, “I Like People That Weren’t Captured.”

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.

Cruz is going to lose. Tearing down Donald Trump does not help us unify. It does not help us win. Cruz is ineligible. accepting that leads to unity. Resisting it leads to division and President Hillary Clinton.

didn’t even read your reply yet. wanted to apologize first.

i promised myself i would not get involved in this nasty primary business and i did, for the first time, at 47.

humans are a strange sort. we will breathe our last breath for that which we support like we are here for eons and not 90 or 100 year with some luck.

ok, now back to battle lol.

all of the arguing is so moot.

whoever wins, likely trump, i will be voting for in the generals.

but what the heck, makes for some good banter.

i dont know if he’s eligible or not, i can’t figure out how to work the damn remote still and you want me to wade through constitutional decisions? lol.

Good point. Why believe his tax returns when you can find something to confirm your bias?

Please report whatever you find. I don’t consider public records a smear.


Only in Cruztown is it acceptable to smear Trump for giving $57,000 to vets while apparently TPA Teddy has given NOTHING to them. Don’t you find it a bit odd that a man like Cruz who claims to be so pious is such a cheapskate with his own money? Although in his defense I suppose the Goldman Sachs lifestyle is not cheap to maintain.

The “vet leader” that was attacking Trump is a flaming lefty. He wants homos in the military, etc. Amusing to see the Principled Conservationism (TM) of Team Cruz welcome him with open arms.

Yeah. Just follow the carnival barker.

Look, if it comes down to voting for Mussolini or Stalin, I’ll go with Mussolini.

But don’t pretend he’s a conservative hero. That is delusional.

I don’t know what Cruz has given to anything. I don’t know what his charities are. Do you? I know Trump’s claiming he’s pro Vet. Not that he was pro-vet enough to serve in the military, but more like it’s good marketing now to claim to be pro-vet. Now, the fact is that Trump, who is, as he never tires of telling us, very, very rich, gave more to the Clintons than to the Vets until recently.

It’s the TRUMP FOUNDATION. Show records - proof - that the money moved to the organizations listed because what I have read said his foundation hadn’t yet decided whom they might give money to.

Then don’t pretend Ted Cruz is one either. No “conservative hero” campaigns for Barack Obama in the U. S. Senate or rakes in cash at the sleaziest crony capitalist business on the planet, Goldman Sachs.

There is no ideal conservative in this race. Pick your candidate just don’t think there are not other candidates at their level.

So being pro abortion is frivolous?

Donating to the Clinton’s is frivolous?

Hiring illegals is frivolous?

Yea, we’ve given up on each other.

By the way, do a Preview before posting to identify this crap: ’

Then it’s easy to fix by overwriting with in the posting box.

I feel your pain. A good on-target analogy is almost impossible to refute.
