One Sign Missing: “Mission
Unaccomplished”
(Ready for November 8th)
“Trump rages on Twitter after his Veteran donations are
called into question…”
From The Business Insider, in part: Donald Trump took
to Twitter on Monday night to defend his donations to veterans' charities amid
new questions about his January fundraiser.
The questions center on Trump's earlier claim that he [personally] donated $1 million to
the fundraiser he held instead of attending a Republican debate in January
sponsored by FOX. At the event, he named other large donations he reportedly
solicited for veterans' charities and who gave.
But reporters have had a hard time confirming how much
money has actually been distributed to Veteran groups. Washington Post reporter
David Fahrenthold noted
also on Twitter that he's “still looking for the $1M that @realdonaldtrump says
he gave vets since this past January.”
Trump continued to tweet: “Much of the money I have raised for
our veterans has already been distributed, with the rest to go shortly to
various other veteran groups.”
Then Trump then attacked the media for its coverage of
the donations, saying in another tweet: “Amazingly, with all of the money I
have raised for the Vets, I have got nothing but bad publicity from the dishonest
and disgusting media.”
Despite Trump saying he raised between $5 million and
$6 million for Veterans, his campaign said earlier this week that the January
fundraiser only netted $4.5 million, according to The Washington Post.
Then Trump campaign
manager Corey Lewandowski told the Post that some people who had promised
donations for the fundraiser had backed out. Lewandowski then told the Post he
wasn't sure if Trump's $1 million was included in the $4.5 million total that
he said he had raised.
After Trump's Tweetstorm, reporter Fahrenthold
clarified what he's found out so far about the supposed donations: That only $3.1
million and not the $5-$6 million that Trump professed that he raised, and, the
Trump $1 million is still MIA.
So, who and what is the public to believe? The
blowhard and his sustained and well-known and rehearsed bravado (via tweets of
course), or the facts that the media finds out about, or is unable to find out?
The answer is self-evident, except for brain dead Trumpets.
One word describes Donald J. Trump: Disgraceful...!!!
