Interesting article, I'm hoping its not true. |

Quoted:
Donald Trump is a classless piece of shit. And as it turns out, so are 87% of his supporters. FUCK DONALD TRUMP! Since when did eating boogers on TV become classy? Oh, you mean classy in a sore loser, kids and wife don't love, zodiac squishy face kinda way? |

Trump has fucked up their candidate. The GOP has promised to fuck Cruz after he tries to fuck over the leading candidate, yet he still acts as the cuck. |
|
The whole thing is very reminiscent of how the mafia used to con Vegas headliners like Sinatra, Joey Bishop, Sammy Davis Jr., etc. into doing charity benefits, and then simply pocket the money.
Given Trump's admitted, longstanding relationship with various New York and New Jersey crime families, I suspect that half the money raised by Trump was simply given to the mob as their cut. Trump has no integrity. |

http://www.dailywire.com/news/4789/remember-when-trump-skipped-debate-raise-money-aaron-bandler Interesting article, I'm hoping its not true. And people were derided for questioning the timing, and the flow of the money... I was personally slammed by Trump's biggest cheerleader here for wondering why it was being handled as it was... Back in January, The Federalist found that the website Trump set up for the veterans, donaldtrumpforvets.com, sends the money directly to the Trump foundation.
"There is absolutely no accountability here for how Trump will spend this money," RedState's Leon Wolf wrote. "This is how hucksters like Trump operate. Rather than say that he’s going to raise money for a reputable vets organization – of which there are many – he diverts the money to his own sham tax shelter and hopes that his supporters never notice or demand an accounting for what was done with their money, as would be done for any 501 (c)(3) that was set up with the specific purpose for helping vets." Wolf noted that the foundation hadn't done much with the money they had raised in the past. But here is one thing they have done: the Journal's report points out that the Trump foundation has come under scrutiny for making a donation in 2013 to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi when she was "considering whether to take legal action against Trump University for possible fraud." Naturally, Bondi didn't take legal action against the university and has endorsed Trump for president. |

Yet we have many questions about Donnies character, his moral and ethical compass and we're told that we're "cuck's" what ever the fuck that is. |

Liberal article complaining that 2.4 million dollars was distributed to veterans groups in the last 2 months when Trump disclosed he collected 6 million. They also did not contact all the groups that Trump has distributed to, so their math is off.
Doesn't mention that many charitable organizations hold money back to distribute around the holidays and the rest of the year to give people the cheer they need and to distribute evenly around the year. Next article up: USMC Toys For Tots keeps some toys collected a week before Christmas for a whole year without distributing them! The horror! |

Considering they got into bed with a guy who threatens lawsuits and has the money to bankrupt them if he wanted to. ToT has a specific mission with providing toys during Christmas. I don't see bins for toys till late Nov. early Dec. |

Next article up: USMC Toys For Tots keeps some toys collected a week before Christmas for a whole year without distributing them! The horror! Liberal Article, not so much. Aaron Bandler is actually a Cruz supporter, as a quick google search and checking his Facebook profile indicated. So it's obvious it'd be a hit piece article in an effort to support his choice and put down the competition.  |

Go figure. This is the same bullshit that you complain "Trumpsters" do to Cruz. This is the same type of petty disingenuous story full of distortable half truths, that people will bend and twist and use to bash Cruz. |

I didnt write the story, shit I didn't post the story, but it does more to vindicate my suspicions than the Trumpologists can defend through the Donald's actions to date. |

Any article that begins with this isn't to be considered trustworthy--
Right before the Iowa caucuses, real estate mogul Donald Trump wormed out of a Fox News debate because he was scared of moderator Megyn Kelly, <snip> I think what we have here is a thing called "confirmation bias."

| This is about 6x the average annual throughput of the DJT Foundation. I'm not too concerned that the donations haven't yet been disbursed. I'm not inclined to dive into the foundation's 990s for further detail, and judging from the way the article was written, I don't think they bothered to do that, either. |

Of course. However, if there is any truth to it? The article reads like the normal drive-by BS. First of all, they didn't correctly identify the name of "the foundation". Second, they didn't post links to the foundation's previous filings which helps to establish patterns and scope of the foundation. So, who knows? The DJTF has been burning down something like 500k a year [in the red], with zero dollars in direct compensation to officers - maybe digging into their 990s shows something different, but on the surface there doesn't seem to be any indication of impropriety. Investigative journalism isn't what it used to be. |

Website I have never heard of -Check A story the democrats at the MSM would be all over if it was true -Check A slur piece intended to damage reputation -Check Insinuating a billionaire with a virtual unlimited supply of money needs to steal as the logic of the story -Check It's not true. |

Not that I trust MSNBC much more but: "MSNBC attempted to contact all 22 of the organizations on the list. Of the 13 we were able to reach, nine organizations say they have received no funds yet. Most of those groups say they have had little to no contact with the Trump organization, save for an initial call to see if they would be open to receiving a donation." |

Reading and critical analysis is for liberals and those who disagree with the headline. Do you even internet, bro? |

Suffice to say that the DJT Foundation isn't in the business of making a lot of donations to veterans groups. So, we'd need to look at the date of this fundraiser, and how often the board meets. This is 600% more than the foundation usually sees in a year, so the board is going to have to decide on the disbursement breakdown to each of those 22 organizations - because it's unlikely that the donations to the DJTF at the fundraiser were individually earmarked for xyz charity by the donor. Something like this could take two board meetings to settle. A cursory look at their filings shows the board receives no cash compensation, so maybe you get what you pay for when it comes to the timeliness of executive decisions? |

Cruzaders jump on liberal bullshit hit pieces like flies on shit. They might as well just admit to being liberal-lites who want amnesty and more NAFTA deals. Oh, Cruz supporters are liberal this week? And Trump supporters are very quick to depend on the voter in liberal states to try and stay in the race.
