A person who holds a “huge” rally to raise money to benefit our veterans and manages to raise $6 million should be praised–unless he doesn’t get that money to the 24 organizations he promised it to. Yes, some donors gave money directly to the charities rather than through the Donald J. Trump Foundation, and about half of the amount has found its way to the charities. Where’s the rest? Will the other charities ever get their checks? Some have, once the Foundation was reminded. How much reminding and media pressure will it take to get the promised funds to the charities?
Our veterans, who are struggling with health, mental, and financial difficulties as a result of their service to our nation, deserve better treatment.
