I’ve been working on a piece about the different threads of information that make me think Donald Trump is dramatically less rich than he claims (probably why he’s afraid to release the tax returns). But damn, trying to skim a bit off the veterans. It may be worse than I imagine.
In all seriousness, Trump seemed to go to great lengths not to follow through on his personal donation to a vets group after that debate skip fundraiser. The other billionaire contributors had given their contributions weeks earlier. Only getting pressed by The Washington Post forced Trump to cough up the money.
When asked if he’d only given the money after being pressed by reporters, a stung Trump told the Post’s David Fahrenthold: “You know, you’re a nasty guy. You’re really a nasty guy. I gave out millions of dollars that I had no obligation to do.”
