“Coach, you said your team would score at least 30 points in this game. Well, here we are, end of the first quarter, and you’ve only got 10. Were you lying, or just deluded?”

Did Donald Trump Profit off the Amputees?

In light of Donald Trump's record in which he has been accused of fraud by his students of Trump University in a class-action suit, tenants in his building in which multiple plaintiffs claim fraud, and purchasers of condominiums in his buildings in a suit in which Donald Trump has recently paid hush money, it is not unreasonable to ask whether Donald Trump actually profited at the expense of our veterans with whom Trump gained millions of dollars of publicity for his campaign.

So one says they are not disclosing how much they received, which could be a huge amount and it’s reported that only a fraction is distributed, yes 1/2 is a fraction.

It takes time to locate good charities that aren’t front groups taking 30-40% for the officers of the charities.

>>Fox Business Network first reported in late February that only a fraction of the pledged donations had made their way to the veterans groups.

What fraction of the PLEDGED donations have been received by Trump to be distributed? I can’t find that in the story.

I clicked on this link because I knew this would be in there:

Of the three other charities, one declined to disclose how much it had received, another said it needed to submit more paperwork before receiving any money, and the third didn’t respond to questions by the Journal.

Nice try.

Fox News!! As bad as CNN, CNBC, ABC and a few other communists networks. When rhe pledges turn into cash the money will flow. It takes time to accumulate and process.

Why don’t the just ask the Trump charity how much they have dispensed or already have in the pipeline?

Seems a far more logical route.

40% is a “fraction”? 19 of 22 groups funded is a “fraction”? Do the GOPe CruzBots at the WSJ know how hard it is to foundations to turn pledges into actual cash and then distribute it? I have worked with charities and sometimes it can take 6 months or more. Trump has done an admirable job so far. It is disgusting to see him smeared like this. Meanwhile rich Ted Cruz and his Wall St. wife gave less than 1% to charity. But he is SUCH a “devout Christian”...riiiight?

So are they just supposed to throw it up in the air and whoever scoops up the most wins?

Faux News is still mad that Trump didn't do the debate.

That’s ok, he is 17 million behind paying the people who are supporting his campaign, too.

FOXMegyn News and the Wall Street Journal at the top levels are, unquestionably, actively invested in taking down TRUMP.

These two entities know exactly where to find unbalanced veterans who are raging Democrats and charities who despise TRUMP, especially charities who did not make the cut.

Donald TRUMP (who was PO’d at FOXMegyn cable news) threw that Rally for fundraising to assist both veterans and military related support groups in less than 24 hours, he received pledges and real money for the cause, and he collected applications from charities for distribution of the money collected.

There were about twelve groups named, I recall, and a team was set up to do the accounting and distribution to those 12 selected.

To play tom foolery is a real waste of time, since the fund collections are tracked at both ends, from the contributors as a tax write off, to the Fundraiser’s matching receipts, to the distribution to the named charities.

TRUMP in a discrepancy would pay it off himself if there existed the slightest proof at the IRS level that something was even a penny off.

Gp blow smoke somewhere else, WSJ and FOXMegyn News. No one cares until the IRS cares.

Call back when you have something greater than whining and timing.

Interesting hit piece disguised as investigative journalism..

It does not state how much of PLEDGED was RECEEVED.

What faction of received donations was distributed 10%, 50%, 90% ??

Is there another way to find out what was distributed than asking individual charitie, come of whom are not supplying information ?

Why bring up leftist IAVA founder Paul Riechkoff? He’s a Democrat Party tool and self-promoter. Looks like Fox fell for his con of IAVA being a viable national organization.

More like a handful of leftists and other malcontents.

PS: My son was one of the first American soldiers into Iraq in 2003. He wouldn’t get anywhere near Riechkoff.
