He got caught lying about it.
Trump Dragged His Heels For Months Before Coughing Up Money He Pledged To Vets
- Thread starter ScienceRocks
- Start date
The media has given Trump a big pass on his constant and pathological lying. That era is coming to an end and his lies will be exposed and put him on the defense more and more as the campaign moves forward.
There is no excuse for him to have been claiming he made a one million dollar personal donation when he had not.

Whats funny about the snopes piece is that they says:
While it's true that the $6 million raised by Trump during his veterans' charity event on 28 January 2016 was initially paid to The Donald J Trump Foundation, that foundation will disburse the donations, along with another $1 million donated by Trump himself, to a variety of veteran's charities:
No mention if he really raised that much money either. Funny because this happened:
Earlier this week, Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, told "CBS This Morning" that Trump has already "taken a million dollars out of his personal account" and has "given it to charities that he felt was worthy and any remaining money would be distributed before Memorial Day."
But Trump seemed to directly contradict Lewandowski's statements in an interview with the Washington Post published Tuesday.
"I don't know that Corey would even know when I gave it out," Trump said.

The money raised during Trump's special event to benefit veterans initially went to the Donald J. Trump Foundation, but it's inaccurate to say that the money ended up in the candidate's personal account or will be used to fund his presidential campaign.
The full list of veterans organizations Donald Trump singled out for donations is as follows:
So it doesnt say any money was given to anyone. Its just a list of Charities Donald SAID he would donate to. And for some reason Snopes put that in as a fact.

Why aren't you bitching at the woman who distributes monies from the Trump charities?
Here she is. Go after her.
Her name is Lynne Patton. On the far right.

Because unlike you this isnt about personally attacking someone on a dare.
I asked where the money went and you get mad like how dare anyone ask Trump questions

You are giving credit to Trump for forwarding the funds donated for veterans to veterans as if he deserves some great credit for doing what he promised to do in exchange for free media coverage he received when he ran away from a debate moderated by Megan Kelly.
He is under criticism and being called a liar for not divulging that the original amount claim had fell short and that he claimed he gave a million of his own funds to the endeavor. Until he was exposed and veterans began demonstrating and publicizing the truth, he continued to promote the fraudulent claims. He lied about the amount collected and the personal donation. The amount collected has been a controversy for months. He could have come out anytime and stated he was not sure about the amount of pledges that would be actually donated and or adjusted his claim. He should not have lied about the personal donation until he was caught lying.

Complete bullshit of course. You're not asking anything. You losers are just DESPERATE to find something, anything, you can hold over Trump's head.
Nope, We're just asking if he raised money where did it go? Sorry for the unfair question. Trump should do what he wants without questions
If you were truly interested in charity scandals you got no further to look than the Clinton Foundations quid pro system of money for favors. But we all know you're not really interested in anything but TROLLING the opposition.

Too funny. Snopes posts the organizations that got the money. So really, Trump already answered the question and you are just talking out your ass because you are too ******* lazy to go look for yourself.
"Snopes posts the organization that got the money"
Maybe you didnt hear me when I said where did the money go? Not some of the money.
Reading Comprehension is not your strong suit. Refuse to believe a left wing site who puts the answer in front of you. Too funny.
You keep saying that but the site never said he released the money. Since you're sighting the site, I'm sure you can quote Snopes saying that all the money was distributed.
But you cant, do you know why? Because you're playing hard and fast with the truth. Now, post more about me and avoid quoting your claim. I laugh when I'm right.
He's sighting the site? What's he gonna do, shoot at it?
