4. The donations go to trump's personal Foundation, not any Vet Charity

Jan 2016

Rather than going directly to veterans groups, 100% of online donations on Trump's pro-veterans site will go directly to Trump's personal foundation.

The website, which is nothing more than a single page with stock photos and a credit card donation form, claims that “100% of your donations will go directly to Veterans needs.”

There’s only one problem: 100% of the money raised on the site goes directly to Donald Trump’s personal non-profit foundation, according to a disclosure listed at the bottom of the page.

“The Donald J Trump Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization,” the disclosure reads. “An email confirmation with a summary of your donation will be sent to the email address provided above.”

I'm not defending Trump. Just pointing out that with media and IRS watching, he'll be aboveboard. pinboy3niner Jan 2016 #29

I think if he gives to any charity, it's likely to be ones that pay lip service to helping vets. Bubzer Jan 2016 #36
