Using veterans as a background for phony 'OPM charity' events is a tradition of "celebrities" to endear themselves to the gullible public. Trump to Hold Veteran Rally in Place of GOP Debate - FR, post #71, 2016 January 28
"The Checkbook Election 2016" is ... the predictably anti-climactic result of the Campaign Finance reforms that allow the celebrity multimillionaires finance their own campaigns (because Citizen's United decision isn't complete as long as money have to go to 'issue PACs' which cannot, by law, coordinate with [Republican] candidates and finance their own campaigns which require extensive travel, advertisement and a lot of other expenses... The idea that this makes a rich candidate "not dependent / accountable" to "Special Interest Groups" is clearly asinine — in reality it makes them ultimately unaccountable to you — but boy, do they have a "deal" for you if you elect them! Far better would be to get rid of any limits on donations to candidates (proxies for political ideas) as long as donations are transparent - i.e., allow to "buy" the candidates who can [hopefully] credibly and eloquently represent "ideas of the class" ...
From Bushes (rich) to McCain (richer), to Romney (richer), to Trump (the richest so far), the "conservatives" are "evolving" and "progressing" at nice speed...
Next stop - Bloomberg? Great resume for new "Conservative Progressive Checkbook" "He Can Win" party — far richer than Trump, wealth not inherited, self-made multibillionaire, no business bankruptcies, no debt defaults, no financial shenanigans and scandals, political and executive experience - 3-time mayor of largest US city, little "baggage," Democrat/Republican/Independent)/autocrat...
Yes, "he can win" and he can promise to "Make America Great," again ... at least he would sincerely believe it.
Boy they are pushing this story. I’ve seen it in three different places.
Did all of the money actually go to veterans?
If so, I have no problem with his efforts. I know a lot of veterans who need all the help they can get.
But that is the question. Did it go to the veterans?
trump didn’t give a flying damn about veterans until he stepped on his dork about mccain. it’s all a big trumpian diversion.
Dumping on Trump for not giving more to veterans is absurd. Of all the candidates, who has done more? Who has come even remotely close?
Mister Donald (lifelong pro-choice DEM, lifelong supporter of socialized medicine, and from the above, Hillary buddy) Trump.
Super salesman Trump? Thanks anyway.

Flashback: Trump Saved NY Veterans Day Parade Marking 50th Anniversary of End of WWII
A meme was started by Trump antagonists in certain conservative circles that Donald Trump does next to nothing to help veterans. It turns out Trump has been generous with veterans over the past decades–all it takes is a little more research than those with an ax to grind seem willing to do.
UPI reported in 1995 how Trump was credited with ‘saving’ the New York Veterans Day Parade. The parade that year was marking the fiftieth anniversary of the end of World War II.
This was not Trump’s first time supporting the New York Veterans Day Parade. In 1987 Trump gave $1 million to help the parade when it was in transition, according to a history of the parade reported by Business Insider in 2013.

What a pile of crap. Damn liars and typical of the communists democrats.
Donald Trump, your Potemkin Village is showing.

Wow! Donald Trump is really evil: he’s now giving more money to the vets than he used to. I suppose everyone would be giving Trump kudos if he gave LESS money, hey?
Gosh, and surprise, surprise: FOX NEWS NETWORK is trying to spin Trump’s 6 million vet fund-raising as a BAD thing. You don’t suppose FNC is still P.O.ed that their second debate ratings were only half of their first debate because Trump skipped their second debate, do you? Wow, talk about your classic case of sour grapes.
Oh and one more bad thing I heard about Trump: when he was in first grade he pulled the pigtails of a playmate on the playground one time. Until I heard that, I was going to vote for Trump, but after I heard about the pigtail incident, I decided to switch my vote to Sanders.
at this point, what difference does it make!!
From Fox... instant discredit
