he claims he raised 6 mil. As always with Trump, less happens than advertised, and most of it goes to Trump's own pocket


What ever happened to all that money Trump raised for the veterans?

In January, Donald Trump skipped a televised Republican debate in Iowa and held his own event instead — a rally to raise money for veterans. Trump said it was a huge success.

“One hour. Six million dollars,” Trump told a campaign rally in Iowa a few days later, boasting about the total raised. He listed more than 20 groups that would receive money. “These people that get these checks are amazing people, amazing people.”

More than a month later, about half of the money, roughly $3 million, has been donated to veterans’ charities, according to a summary released Thursday by the Trump campaign in response to inquiries from The Washington Post.


In recent days, after the campaign initially did not provide details of where the money had gone, The Post had undertaken its own accounting. After contacting each of the 24 charities that Trump had previously listed as his beneficiaries, The Post had accounted for less than half of the $6 million.

Hope Hicks, a spokeswoman for Trump’s campaign, said Trump still intended to give the rest of the money away to veterans groups. She also criticized the news media for repeated inquiries into what became of the funds.

He raised, according to him, 6 mill. He has distributed 2.9 mill according to CNN. Where is the 3.1 mill?

I am willing to believe that he lied about the 6 mill, and only raised 2.9 million. But I am more inclined to believe that he ripped of 3.1 million

Your Libtards are so damned quick to accuse.

First of all, many contributors donated DIRECTLY to veteran groups they preferred.

Most of the money put into accounts controlled by Trump have been forwarded/disbursed to veterans' groups.

It's nothing more than accounting procedures and you brainwahed lefties and progs simply can't deal with it.

You are drinking Kool aid by the barrel if you believe that.

Scam artists always have complicated explanations and excuses when they have to explain where the money went after it went into their pockets. One would and should expect that a Presidential candidate collecting funds for charity would have set up a special independent account dedicated only to collecting the donated funds and quickly distributing it. Not the scam artist. They scam artist needs to confuse and muddy the situation.
