How do the vets feel about that?
Disgusting that Trump is trying to tie strings on handing out the money that require the charities to appear publically to receive it. Did he tell his donors the money wouldn't be given without those strings attached?
The person who rejected this put pride in his political views ahead of the needs of Veterans. Disgusting.
Schmucks.
I can hardly wait to hear what evil will now ascribed to this. LOL!
Because it’s all about the organization, not the vets.
What a pack of pecksniffians.
The donations are merely Trump’s way of wrapping himself in the flag and saying “look how great I am!”. He could have quietly donated as much money as he liked at any time.
Typical Donald.
This retired Army officer believes the reasons for not appearing at the rally are valid. If Trump really wanted to help he could have made it an anonymous donation or come to their office for a quiet presentation.

Life is full of choices, they chose....................
Another brilliant move by someone who feels more strongly about politics than the cause he supposedly cares about.
Keith Howard is a dumb $hit who cares more about politics than charity!
Trump should just give the money as requested now.
Death before dishonor.
“Plus, Howard believed appearing at a political rally could jeopardize his group’s nonprofit status”
On a similar note, wasn’t Barry’s appearance at the mosque a political speech?
Trump has been honoring Veterans at every campaign stop and rallies.
What other candidate is doing this......or even thought about doing this before????
And yet this man’s ‘attitude’ in rejecting the money will prevent some Vets getting much needed help!
The Cruz campaign offered to write a check to Veterans groups for a MILLION dollars if they could successfully coerce Trump tobda a one on one debate with him.
As far as I know, that million dollar veterans political football check remains unsent. So, its OK when Cruz supporters do this? They don’t even follow through and hold the million hostage.
You need the money yet you choose to cut your nose off for spite.
It’s like years ago when Rush Limbaugh wanted to help the Pediatric Aids Foundation run by super liberal Elizabeth Glaser. She said no, she did want any filthy money from conservatives.
Mr. Trump can just give that money to another Vet Charity that might want it.
