care one lick about charity. So as valid as these tweets may be, they will likely only serve to infuriate those of us who already abhor Don the Con. Oh, and there are the "independents," but I really question the morality of anyone who hasn't yet been persuaded that Trump is a second-rate carnival barker who would be entirely incompetent in the White House.

They think that organization United Hatzalah is tied to Mossad and there is a conspiracy theory that comes up in searching google a bit that accuses that organization reps of being involved or having previous knowledge of recent major terror attacks by ISIS.
Yowza...

Donald Trump used money donated for charity to buy himself a Tim Tebow-signed football helmet
Did Donald Trump violate IRS rules, by using a charity's money to buy himself a signed football helmet?
Four years ago, at a charity fundraiser in Palm Beach, Donald Trump got into a bidding war at the evening's live auction. The items up for sale: A Denver Broncos helmet, autographed by then-star quarterback Tim Tebow, and a Tebow jersey.
Trump won, eventually, with a bid of $12,000. Afterward, he posed with the helmet. His purchase made gossip-column news: a flourish of generosity, by a mogul with money to burn. "The Donald giveth, and The Donald payeth," wrote the Palm Beach Daily News. "Blessed be the name of The Donald."
But Trump didn't actually pay with his own money.
Instead, the Susan G. Komen organization the breast-cancer nonprofit that hosted the party got a $12,000 payment from another nonprofit , the Donald J. Trump Foundation

7/If @realdonaldtrump gave personal gifts to these grps, I could change this page. After 420-plus phone calls, it hasn't changed since June.
