It is still an amazing thing to me is that, during the 2016 primary season, Trump skipped one of the GOP debates, claiming - of course - it wasn’t FAIR!!, and held some kind of event that was supposed to bring in money for veterans.

Months later, David Farenthold starts inquiring with the Trump campaign about where the money went. It had gone nowhere. In a moment of obvious panic, they quickly donated it to the first veteran-related charity they could find.

What’s amazing to me is that these stories, which paint such a clear picture of Trump’s lack of caring about veterans, or indeed anyone but himself, never gain any footing with his followers.

I completely forgot about the origins of Trump stiffing the vets.
