Testy Trump takes his war with the press to a new level

But Trump quickly blasted the media for raising questions about whether the money he promised was actually being sent to veterans’ groups.

A MI veterans charity that has come under scrutiny for its relationship with a much-investigated fundraising company was among 40 groups to which Donald Trump steered donations to his January rally to benefit veterans, The Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press report. The judge just ordered documents released in a Trump University lawsuit where recruiters knew numerous potential customers may not have the funds to cover the school’s tuition fees. That night, Trump said he’d raised $6 million. “I’m not gonna change”.

Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he had given away all the money he had raised four months earlier for veterans – and at the same time bitterly attacked the news media for pressing him to explain what he had done with the money.

“I see where this is going”, McDonald said, before hanging up the phone on a reporter. “I find the political press to be unbelievably dishonest”. “Crooked Hillary should be admonished for not having a press conference in 179 days”, he tweeted. Close your eyes for a moment.

By singing, and standing in the sun for hours, those determined to make the Donald America’s next president turned out in Sacramento to show him their support.

Al Baldasaro, a retired Marine and Republican representative in New Hampshire’s state house of representatives, leapt to Trump’s defence dressed in a suit and Trump campaign trucker hat. And attacking the press is a regular part of the Republican’s stump speech, during which he typically rips reporters as “scum”, “slime”, “dishonest” and “disgusting” — often prompting jeers from the crowd.

The nation’s largest Navy SEAL charity was listed among the veterans groups that reportedly received money from Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Trump repeatedly insisted during the news conference that he didn’t want “credit” for the contributions.

“They are using veterans as political pawns”.

Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks denied Tuesday that timing had anything to do with questions from the media. Donald Trump telling the press exactly how he feels but also a San Diego judge he’s not happy with.

“The press should be ashamed of themselves”, Trump lamented. “When I served in Afghanistan I served with women, I served with Muslims, and I served with Latinos”, O’Brien said, pointing out that they were all groups that Trump had either “maligned” or “threatened”.

Walt Fricke, founder of the organization, said Wednesday that he was grateful for the donation. Mr. Trump personally contributed $1 million dollars to the cause and raised an additional $5 million before the one-hour event concluded, totaling more than $6 million dollars.

Trump apparently took umbrage with Llamas and others in the media who questioned how much money he raised for veterans back in January.

A spokesman for the Bob Woodruff Foundation in New York City confirmed receipt of a $75,000 donation last week and that the charity was “surprised” to have received it. A spokesman for the National Military Family Association confirmed receipt of a $75,000 donation.
