Donald Trump on Tuesday said he finally gave "close to six million dollars" to veterans’ groups, four months after making the pledge in late January.

The presumptive GOP presidential nominee also said the press "should be ashamed of themselves" for asking questions about the money he donated.

When Trump was chewing out the press, I wish he would have asked them why they didn't put the same effort towards questioning the Clinton Crime Foundation.

He "finally" gave the money ($6M) to the troops. He is getting ragged because it took 6 months.

Is anyone asking the hildabeast or bernie if they would match the funds?

When someone GIVES a million dollars to Hillary's 'foundation/slush fund' only 3% goes to 'doing good'. That's a total of $30,000.

The same damn press that clambers for justice here doesn't give a damn about where 'donations' to Clinton go... or how little their worth.

Hello CNN, MSNBC and FOXNews... open your eyes. Be fair.. do the Hillary story. YOU too Chris Matthews...

Possibly over thinking this — But it appears to me that Trump was holding this information waiting for the press to go “full rabid” on him and then after the public was watching, waiting to see the results, BAM...he hits them with this and again, they look totally partisan and equally pathetic...It appears to me that the presstitutes got totally played again by Trump - IMO.

If I had to set up a VOLUNTEER VETTING PROCESS so that 100% went to the troops...it would take more than 6 months.

**** Did he say how much pledged was not collected? ****

The livestream went out and when it came back he was putting the list away...hope it is on replay! I hope it was adequate for the “poopy press”.

Most continue to believe likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is a lawbreaker, but half of all voters also say a felony indictment shouldn’t stop her campaign for the presidency.

Remember, too, that right after that January rally, the mismanagement of Wounded Warriors hit the fan. To be sure, that slowed the release of the donation down. One would imagine Trump would have his staff investigate each organization thoroughly before giving a dime or the msm would make sure there was egg on his face.

And in January also the MSM made a big f n deal about how a couple of Vet groups said they wouldn’t take the money. Again trying like hell to make Trump look bad to the rest of US!

Wounded Warriors was turned down by Trump for any of the collected funds.

If the Liberal Media keeps attacking Trump with BS charges, it will help Trump win in November. People know that the Liberal Media is the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party.

The Hill is also sleaze. He didn’t chew out the press for questioning, but for being dishonest (slanderous?) about the topic.

The Media got hit with a bucket of $hit! It was a masterful press conference. And the Vet who told the media to get their heads out of their butts was the icing on the cake!
