No matter how big of a hammer you have, you can't pound common sense into some people.

8 years of the black Jesus is enough.

Here's where Kaos & CCTAU's donations are going. You were conned, but of course, this changes nothing.

Donald Trump Donated More to Clintons Than Veterans

The GOP frontrunner talks about his love for vets—but his foundation gave far more to the Clintons over the years than any group that helps military veterans.

Donald Trump decided to ditch Thursday night’s debate to raise money for veterans instead. The only problem is the money is going directly to The Donald J. Trump Foundation—an organization that has given more to the Clintons than to the troops.

Trump’s campaign launched donaldtrumpforvets.com today in advance of his showy counter event in Iowa during the Republican debate. The site, featuring the image of a Ukrainian actor posing as a soldier, promises that “100% of your donations will go directly to Veterans needs.”

Yet, clearly marked in the top left corner is the gold emblem of the Donald J. Trump Foundation. And at the bottom, a small disclosure reads: “The Donald J Trump Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.”

As of around 6:30 p.m., the site claims that it has raised $250,000 in its less than day-old existence.
Trump’s campaign won’t say which particular groups will reap the now quarter-of-a-million dollar windfall though. And the tax forms that show how he spends the money won’t be public until 2018.

When asked about the particular organizations that would benefit, campaign spokesperson Katrina Pierson told CNN that “there might be a list on the website,” after initially claiming that she could not hear the question. “There are a lot of organizations that are in queue to sign up for this.”

No such list is currently available on the site, and the campaign did not respond to a request for clarification from The Daily Beast. It doesn’t appear that veterans are jumping at the opportunity to collect money from the GOP frontrunner.

The Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, a prominent group that represents some 150,000 veterans, already said it doesn’t want a cent raised in relation to Trump’s event.

“If offered, IAVA will decline donations from Trump's event,” founder and CEO Paul Rieckhoff tweeted yesterday. “We need strong policies from candidates, not to be used for political stunts.”

Trump’s foundation also has a history of giving paltry donations to organizations benefiting veterans while doling out enormous sums to the WWE, various evangelical and political organizations as well as the Clinton Foundation.

Tax forms examined by The Daily Beast show that in 2009, the Donald J. Trump Foundation gave a whopping $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation (then called the William J. Clinton Foundation). The following year, Trump’s Foundation, a registered 501c group, gave another $10,000 to the Clinton Foundation. Topping this off was a hefty gift of $1,000,000 to World Wrestling Entertainment, a company for which Trump has made appearances in the past.

Over a five-year span, from 2009 to 2013, the foundation gave just $57,000 to veterans’ groups, according to an estimate Forbes made last December. A significant portion of that comes from a single $25,000 donation in 2011, to the Fisher House, which helps provide homes to veterans and their families.

While essentially shafting charities benefiting veterans, the foundation was far more open-handed with conservative political groups and religious charities. This includes a $10,000 contribution in 2010 to Generation Rescue, an organization created by actress Jenny McCarthy that spreads scientifically inaccurate information about the link between vaccines and autism.

The foundation’s tax forms also show that it gave $100,000 to the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association in 2012. That same year, it gave a comparatively paltry $5,000 to the Heroes to Heroes Foundation, a group that helps veterans with PTSD. Beyond the financial contributions to religious organizations, it seems that the Trump Foundation was also trying to curry favor with shadowy political outfits.

The foundation gave $10,000 in 2012 to the Drumthwacket Foundation, which helps maintain the New Jersey governor’s mansion—and is dogged by charges that donors use it to curry favor with whoever is the state’s current governor (in this instance, fellow presidential candidate Chris Christie).

The differences between financial contributions to veterans’ groups and political organizations are enormous in some cases.

In 2013, Trump’s foundation gave $1,000 to Friends of Veterans Inc. and $5,000 to the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation. That same year, it dumped $50,000 on the American Conservative Union Foundation—boosting the group that hosts the annual conservative CPAC confab.

As has been the case with Trump’s politics, his foundation has also waffled allegiances granting contributions to charities with diametrically opposed interests.

For example, in 2013, it gave $10,000 to the Iowa Family Leader Foundation—boosting a group dogmatically opposed to same-sex marriage. But the year before, it gave $20,000 to the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network. So regardless of your views on gay rights, the Trump Foundation has backed some group you should find extremely upsetting.

And the organization has always kept its friends close.

In 2014, it gave $25,000 to the American Spectator Foundation—a foundation backing a small conservative magazine whose contributing editor Jeffrey Lord is one of the most reliably pro-Trump voices on cable news.

Above and beyond his giving priorities, Trump himself has a less than admirable record on veterans’ issues. The closest he ever came to military service was being a cadet at a military academy in the early 1960s, where he earned a medal for cleanliness. When a real war in Vietnam broke out, Trump was of prime age to be drafted—but ducked service multiple times.

While Trump was busy studying, John McCain was getting tortured by his captors in North Vietnam, refusing an offer to return to the U.S. early. Trump later said that the fact that Trump got captured meant he wasn’t a real hero.

And if openly insulting all POWs everywhere wasn’t enough, Trump has also lobbied hard in the past to keep disabled veterans from being street vendors near his Trump Tower.

So as Trump tries to brand himself as a noble hero for the blue-blooded American cause of veterans, his foundation has an extensive history of shafting the very people who he is now using as political puppets.
Not only has his charitable arm not reached the hands of people coming back from war, it has instead lined the pockets of political interests like the Clintons, against whom Trump claims he is currently fighting.

So you are saying the dems don't want him(no shit) and half of the republicans don't want him?

Yet he leads in the polls. Even against hitlary.

Follow me here.

In Iowa Trump is polling anywhere from 25 to 31% depending on who you ask. Doing math that Chizad can even nail the first time, that's roughly 3/4 of the people there that do not want trump. Since there are still 10 people in this race, 9 others are splitting that 70-75% hence putting trump in the de facto lead. Do you really think he would be in the lead if the bottom 6-7 dropped out? The head to head numbers between trump/Rubio and trump/Cruz with no one else factored in have Cruz and Rubio winning about 55-60% in each of those match ups with him. He is winning because people that have some sense are splitting their vote between 9 other people.

Trump has not been kind to vets before this election cycle. Foxnews (who I don't love but trying to be objective here) was accused by him of doing NOTHING for the troops. When in fact they have raised over 20 million for vet causes the last several years and it's documented. Just another lie by the trumpster. Bait n switch, smoke n mirrors, lies, diversions. Makes no difference. People will follow this guy off a cliff.

His little stunt last night on 3 networks were a collective 23% of the GOP debate ratings. And it wasn't even the worst rated GOP debate this election cycle as it was about middle of the road on ratings compared to the others.

Please to be looking back with your little penis brain and find a post where I said W was a great president.

He was a shit ton better than the black Jesus and I NEVER doubted whose side he was on!

But please to be searching?

I'll hang up and listen...

Pretty sure back in the aunation/family days, you were singing his praises about what a great job he was doing in the WOT and took up for him anytime someone criticized him.

And I'm saying, it doesn't take a rocket surgery degree to realize Trump is NOT the solution to any of that shit. But I guess he's blunt and uncouth, so stupid people somehow think he is.

And yet as soon as we vote for Johnson, we will be labeled that as the country continues to go down the drain.

I kinda get the feeling that Trump will win Iowa, and the GOP field will narrow down to two or three as they realize he may actually win the nomination.

Trump, Bush, Cruz/Rubio. The other guys will bow out gracefully after being give some promises by the RNC.

There's no way the GOP can risk having Trump be their only hope. He's bullheaded enough to inspire the entire Democrat base to come out to vote against him.

If and when Hillary beats Bernie, I guarantee you the Left is going to have a Civil War. They will not be inspired and they will start questioning their identity. All the GOP has to do is produce a worthy candidate that can get people to the polls, and they should win.

Exactly this. I don't understand why no one seems to see this.

Put a Rand Paul or Kasich (although I know most on the right seem to hate Kasich), who moderates and even some liberals kinda like and it will be an absolute slam dunk.

Or put Captain Dipshit up there who conservative moderates like me will actively vote against, yes, even if it means letting Hillary win. Which will be awful. Just not as awful.

I'd take Trump any day and twice on Sunday if he is up against Hillary or Sanders.

For God's sake Sanders is a fucking Socialist.  Do you hear that...a Fucking SOCIALIST.  We have fought wars to beat back socialism.  You can not possibly have socialism and still abide by the constitution.

And Hillary.  She's a Fucking CRIMINAL.  And not just for the emails.

Bush:  Pussy
Kasich:  Whiner
Rubio:  as deep as a puddle
Carson:  While nice enough guy, he's DULL
Paul:  Horrible on foreign policy
Christie:  Obama Hugging Fat Ass Moderate
Cruz:  Fine with me but will get pummeled in the general election
Fiorina:  I like her but she has been shut out by the establishment and the media

He did a great job on the WOT. If you don't think so, you are an idiot.

His problem was he spent like a drunken sailor back at home.

I have no issues with his wartime leadership.
