Raising money for veterans is a positive. I give him credit for that.
But, he held the fund raiser to benefit himself because he was boycotting a Fox News debate.
He lied about the amount of money he raised.
He lied about contributing himself.
He lied about distributing the money.
He complained the Washington Post treated him unfairly when they truthfully reported the donations hadn't been distributed over 4 months later and he hadn't contributed a single dime himself despite claims to the contrary.
At least one of the veteran charities which received money from the fundraiser is a scam with only approximately 20% of donations actually going towards helping veterans. Every dollar spent on these scams takes a dollar away from a legitimate charity and makes people less likely to donate in the future. Matter of fact, I received a phone call from one of these scams within the last two weeks. I felt like telling the person he should be ashamed of himself, but it would have been wasted breath because that person was already involved n the scam and didn't give a shit.
Trump claims he will help veterans, but based upon his track record those claims are for his benefit, not veterans, and he will only (kinda) keep his word after it is revealed he hasn't kept his word.
I see no reason to believe this leopard will change his spots.
