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?

He has had the veteran groups come to his rallies and presented them the check during the rally.

He’s been handing out $100,000 checks at various events, to groups that support veterans. The funds will all be disbursed at some point. Checks are on Donald J. Trump Foundation account. I don’t know if the foundation has a public accounting, but it will be in Trump’s interest to make the disbursements transparent.

I believe that it will but not through groups that have an obscenely high overhead like Wounded Warrior Foundation that spends 40% of donated money on its own staff

The Donald is smart about this stuff and the $ 6 million will be spent where his staff recommends is best

Remember it has only been 5 days since the fund raiser , it was all planned and carried out with 48 hours notice , and Trump has been a bit busy

These are the veterans organizations that will be receiving money from the fund-raising: https://assets.donaldjtrump.com/MILITARY_CHARITIES_SHEET_FOR_MR._TRUMP.pdf

It did and is. Jim listed the groups earlier today (Post 36). I was very pleased with the ones chosen. My family is deeply involved with DAV.
