Even for Trump, this is inexplicable. Whenever you think he can't possibly be a bigger douche, he proves you wrong. What a revolting human being he is.

One good way to support veterans is to pay taxes -- something we have no idea if Trump ever does either.

a clumsy analogy , which I believe has been walked back -- your point ?
Faux Outrage of the Week
Riots last night at Trump rally in Albuquerque. Your guy snubbed the sitting Governor with a word salad then said he would (if Governor) and she should defy federal policy of taking in Syrian refugees (2 years from now)
Your standard bearer appointed a felon ( as in bribery but got off for being a rat) as Finance Chair.
And god knows what he's done to further humiliate Chris Christie or Ben Carson .
Oh, I forgot. Your a Libertarian.
What did Gerry Johnson do yesterday - musta missed that to.
....
A clumsy analogy - what did the (R) House vote on yesterday? Did they hold hearings on better methods for running the VA ? No, they were to vote on impeaching Obama over bathroom accesses and held hearings on impeaching the head of the IRA. Which that man, I dont even know his name, didn't even deem it important enough to show up.
Guess he figured it would wind up in a vote to repeal ACA.
A bad analogy. Not media savvy - tin ear. He is an administrator for christs sake .
Not James Carville or a Senator running for re election.
Okay for one guy running for President to sy some of the unapologetic horrible things he's said about veterans (John McCain - lying about donations to Vet organizations ) but an adminstrator puts up a bad analogy and that -- gets your panties in a wad

January report:
Trump’s New Pro-Veterans Website Directs All Donations To Trump’s Personal Foundation
Rather than going directly to veterans groups, 100% of online donations on Trump's pro-veterans site will go directly to Trump's personal foundation.
January 28, 2016 By The Federalist Staff
After ducking the final Republican presidential debate heading into next week’s Iowa caucuses, GOP front-runner Donald Trump announced that he would hold his own pro-veterans event during the debate to raise money for veterans. Trump even set up a special website to solicit donations to help veterans.
“Honor their valor,” the website, donaldtrumpforvets.com, states. “Donate now to help our Veterans.”
The website, which is nothing more than a single page with stock photos and a credit card donation form, claims that “100% of your donations will go directly to Veterans needs.”
There’s only one problem: 100% of the money raised on the site goes directly to Donald Trump’s personal non-profit foundation, according to a disclosure listed at the bottom of the page.
“The Donald J Trump Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization,” the disclosure reads. “An email confirmation with a summary of your donation will be sent to the email address provided above.”

April Report:
Veterans’ Charities Say Trump Hasn’t Handed Out Donations
Tessa Berenson @tcberenson
April 8, 2016
Almost $4 million raised by Donald Trump’s campaign at a veterans’ charity fundraising event in January has yet to be distributed to the intended recipients, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The newspaper contacted 19 of the 22 veterans’ charities to which Trump promised to donate the proceeds, and found that only about $2.4 million of the $6 million raised has been distributed.
“Mr. Trump has distributed many of the contributions to a number of worthy organizations, and will continue to do so,” Hope Hicks, a campaign spokeswoman said.
The funds come from an event for wounded veterans the GOP front runner hosted in Iowa in January after skipping the Jan. 28 Fox Republican debate following squabbles with the network.

Trump Vets Chair: Charity Money? Not My Problem
Three months ago Donald Trump held a fundraiser for wounded veterans and apparently raised $6 million. But most of that money has yet to be distributed and Trump’s chairman for veterans issues couldn’t care less.
Trump campaign’s adviser for veterans issues can’t account for $6 million raised for veterans charities by the billionaire—and from the sounds of it, couldn’t care less.
“I could ask, but it’s not high on my priority list,” Al Baldasaro, a New Hampshire state representative, told The Daily Beast.
Back in January Trump skipped an Iowa presidential debate due to a tiff with Fox News, instead holding a fundraiser for veterans charities. According to the campaign, this event raised some $6 million, to be distributed to 22 listed veterans charities.
Baldasaro played a major role for the Trump campaign in New Hampshire and has been outspoken in the press and on the campaign trail ever since. In fact, he helped deliver money to one veterans charity, accepting an oversized novelty check from Trump on stage at a campaign event before the New Hampshire primary. Soon after, he delivered a real $100,000 check to local veterans charity Liberty House. But he says he doesn’t know where the rest of the money went, and in essence, that it isn’t his problem.
Questions have lingered about whether that money has actually been dispense to those charities—since the fundraiser, numerous media organizations have investigated whether the charities have received the $6 million. The investigations span the ideological spectrum: the progressive MSNBC and the conservative Weekly Standard have been unable to find all the funds; as have The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, and The Daily Beast.
The money simply hasn’t been found.
In early March, CNN was able to track down $2.9 million, citing the Trump campaign. In early April, The Wall Street Journal traced $2.4 million of the promised funds.
What these investigations have yielded is a solid conclusion that, thus far, Donald Trump and his nonprofit have dispensed, at maximum, about half of the $6 million to the listed beneficiaries. Nearly three months—85 days—have passed since the fundraiser.
“I don’t track that,” Baldasaro told The Daily Beast. “I’m not concerned about it, because I know [Trump is] an honorable, honest guy… you guys just want to say, ‘gotcha.’”
Baldasaro tried to minimize his responsibility in the issue, saying that “it’s not that I’m the lead veterans adviser” or a paid staffer. But then he later acknowledged that he’s “the only one that talks about veterans for Trump.”
“It’s not high on my priority list,” he said, when pressed on why he didn’t account for the $6 million in order to put the issue to rest. “I agree with you on looking into it. I just wish I had a little more time… My veterans constituents have never asked us that question.”
His advocacy on homeless veterans, New Hampshire not having a VA hospital, medical cards, and medical marijuana was more important, he said.
Baldasaro said he may ask the Trump campaign in the next week where the money has gone.
Charity watchdog groups have urged Trump and his organizations to swiftly account for the funds they promised to veterans groups.
“Groups that hold fundraisers for charities should distribute the funds to those charities as rapidly as possible. By not doing so it delays aid or assistance to people in need of help and increases the risk that these funds get diverted to something other than their intended use,” said Daniel Borochoff, the president of CharityWatch. “A highly publicized event such as Trump’s fundraiser for veterans charities ought to disclose within a few months what it has done with the funds that it has raised.”
The charities themselves, meanwhile, remain confused about when and how much of the promised funds they will receive. Vets charity Task Force Dagger told The Daily Beast last month that they had received a $50,000 contribution from the Stewart J. Rahr Foundation, apparently on behalf of Trump, but has been unable to get any response from Trump’s own foundation as to whether they’ll be receiving funds from them as well.
“The charities should at least have been told when they can expect to receive the money!” said Sandra Miniutti, a vice president at Charity Navigator, a watchdog group. “Given the publicity surrounding the event, I believe timely delivery of the donations is in order.”
The Trump campaign has declined, on multiple occasions, to comment on where the millions raised for veterans have gone. They did not comment when The Daily Beast asked yet again Thursday.

....
The question not being asked is. They held this $6M for 5 months. I have been told I'm not good at math but even at 1.5% interest that works to a profit of $90,000. Or, roughly 30% of Chris Christies campaign debt.
That would be for an investment novice like myself. A top of the line business man ... well, boggles the imagination.
You were saying about the clumsy analogy that guy (cant even remember his name) from the VA made about waiting lines at Disney.
For the record, I am not all that enamored with the stat of WAR either. Useful tool but, that's as far as that goes.
So let's just say the guy used the stat of WAR in the wrong context

I do believe that Donald has been involved in some similarly despicable methods of generating income over the years, but I also find that his excuse of, "it's business and everybody was doing it" has a little more validity (atleast as far as placating the restless masses is concerned) ... or perhaps ... more appropriately put, swallowability.
