Trump got all the publicity he wanted out of skipping a Fox News debate and saying he was raising millions for veterans, but he’s been so lax in producing that money that veterans are demanding he fess up.

From the Hill:

More than 50 veterans released a statement Sunday calling on presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump to show respect for the country’s veterans and donate the millions of dollars he allegedly raised during a fundraiser several months ago. “Donald Trump recently discovered a new love for America’s veterans, promising that a Trump administration will ‘treat them really, really well,’” the statement released by Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton’s campaign said. “Yet after a publicity stunt earlier this year when he ditched a GOP debate to hold an event on behalf of veterans, his campaign still hasn’t distributed more than half of the $6 million dollars it allegedly raised.”

The statement signed by veterans, including Democratic Reps. Ruben Gallego and Seth Moulton, said Trump’s campaign doesn’t even know where the money raised during that event went. Earlier this year, Trump skipped the seventh Republican presidential debate over disagreements with the host network, Fox News. Instead, he held a fundraiser for raise money for military veterans.







And that’s not all, folks!!

“Republican and Democratic national security professionals agree that a Trump administration would make America dangerously less safe while reducing its standing and influence in the world,” the statement said. “His embrace of both military adventurism and isolationism, and his support of the use of torture will not only recklessly place our troops in harm’s way, but will dramatically increase the risk to our service members serving in operations overseas.” The statement called Trump’s policies “detrimental” to people who serve the country. “He can’t be trusted, by our veterans or anyone else,” it said. “It’s time for Donald Trump to stop using vets as political props, donate the rest of the money he raised and build a real understanding of the needs and concerns of the men and women who have served America.”

I mean, how low do you have to be to use U.S. soldiers for a PR stunt and then screw them out of money? And this should not be a surprise to anyone. Trump keeps saying how much he “loves” the veterans, but although he’s supposedly worth billions, he didn’t fundraise any money for veterans or donate himself until he ran for president.

Just another indication that America has fallen for a YUGE orange-faced toupee-topped SCAM.

McCain also demanded that Trump apologize, not to him, but for the other Prisoners of War that he insulted when he said he preferred soldiers who didn’t let themselves get captured.
