“What are the negatives you have on the Salvation Army?”
After the speech Trump gave about Charlottesville, and the MSM reported lies about what he’d said (re KKK, Antifa, white supremicists, BLM, etc), the Salvation Army was one of the first to condemn him and pull their scheduled event from Mar-A-Lago.
#1. Either they believed the lies, so that makes them too stupid to be respected OR they didn’t necessarily believe the MSM but didn’t want to appear to support Trump so that makes them weak and unprincipled.
#2. If the Salvation Army is holding events at Mar-A-Lago, they don’t need my money. I’ve worked at a five-star resort and know the cost of these events. That money should be going to help people.
That’s all. I’ve done bell ringing for them for several years, but really have a problem with this new information. Don’t think I’ll do it again.
What makes you think Trump's Mar-A-Lago is charging them? Given that when he divied up his million bucks with a portion going to the SA, wouldn't it be more likely that he donated the use of the facilities to them as well?
For big mega-fundraising events like this, there are usually high-profile, deep-pocket sponsors that cover the cost of such an event - not that it would be covered with SA donated funds.
....and because of that I will never donate to SA or RC again.
I donated to Samaritan’s Purse and the Baptist Mens’ Assoc for Texas. But, here I am in Winter Park FLA, about to get it myself :)
God be with us.
