Trump Gave to Vets on Day He Was Busted

Source: The Daily Beadt

Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump gave millions of dollars to veterans organizations only after The Washington Post published an exposé of his questionable claims on the matter. According to an Associated Press investigation, Trump sent checks to many of the groups on May 24, the same date as the Post story.

Trump previously came under fire for refusing to disclose which charities had allegedly received funds from him, but during a Tuesday press conference he named 41 vets organizations. One of the more prominent groups, the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation, confirmed to the AP that it received its check on May 24, despite the campaign previously telling the Post that the scholarship fund's donation had already been distributed. The Daily Beast also reported Tuesday that while Trump has finally accounted for the $6 million promised contributions, the numbers show he fell $400,000 short of what he'd previously claimed to have raised.

The people who support him dont care about any of this, at all.

They believe he hates the same people they do and that is ALL that matters.

Without a doubt, Trump was tempted to steal some of that money.

And only after he was exposed as not giving anything to begine with.

Trump lies 77% of the time.

For him to burst into a rousing rendition of nener nener nener. Followed by a Bronks cheer. Seems like a good idea to give him the keys to the country.

And Trump claims it was his money for it.
