It looks like Trump used veterans to enrich himself through his charity.

We need the news media to focus on this, if true all vets would turn on Trump. This is what Trump always does. He offers gifts, puts on a show and then takes the money for himself. This may be a big story. It happened during the campaign when Trump backed out of the debate. He instead put on a fake charity for vets. He gave some money to vets as cover, then he took the rest.

Every thing is closing in on Trump, he is going to be crushed and ruined forever.

Vietnam was an unjust war and I don't fault anyone for skipping out on it UNLESS they come back decades later as the biggest, baddest, meanest SOB CINC in the history of all mankind. I'm still surprised Don hasn't designed a uniform for himself yet.

Could support him is disturbing , especially after all he's done against this country, and with an enemy of our country for his own greed and quest for power over others . Add to that what he caused in Yemen, what he did in Syria for a PR stunt , and what he's doing with despots around the world and embracing them while attacking our former Presidents. Now he allows kim to keep his nukes after trying to act tough, then like he does with firing people was to much of a coward to confront him and demand his nukes , and at once.He still is a major threat to us with still having them, and trusting him and trump is a lost cause, they both are very, very corrupt and lie, a lot, and both are our greatest national security threats, unless you want to believe two serial liars that wouldn't think twice about killing others.
