Trump postpones release of veterans funding details

[ABX]

I guess the promised clarification(sic) about his lying about what money he raised and distributed isn't coming today like he said. That's OK. We can't expect Our Donald^TM to be held to his word for more than an hour. He is just so much smarter than the rest of us, his facts can change quickly.

Donald Trump is postponing an announcement about the money he's raised for military veterans until after Memorial Day.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee claims he raised about $6 million for veterans when he declined to participate in a Fox News debate in January, but critics have scrutinized the fundraising totals.....

So, let's see.

Trump's been sitting on this money ($4.5 million was the latest number BEFORE Trump was forced to pony up the $1 million he'd promised only last Monday. The press hounded him until he gave it) for four months.  No doubt he had to tally up his carrying costs and his personal vig before distributing it.

What a scam artist.  Anyone who gives this clown a dime is a dope.

You wouldn't think that after 8 years of dem raiding the Treasury that there would be anything left.

Apparently America is a lot richer than we have been told and tRump is aiming to slide lots of big Gubmit bucks off the table during  "Dealer" POTUS Days.

He has his best people working on it.  It's not easy just giving away money to charity.

Translation, he doesn't have the money..

Up there with "I'll be showing my income taxes soon".  When you buy snake oil from the snake oil salesman, sometimes you just get the snake.

It is in a safe place.  Donald wouldn't lie...

This veterans' charity thing is confusing. Normally, I can understand Trump's twisted way of thinking. Normally, I can see sanity and cunning in what appears to be chaos.

However, this does have me at a loss. I can see no possible reason/excuse in what he is doing, i.e., holding the money.

It reminds me of the accountant who embezzled a couple of hundred thousand to bet on a stock. The idea was that he would use the money for a few days, keep the profits, and then return the money with no harm no foul. When the stock tanked and the margin calls came, he was wiped out. And this has been way over a few days. It has been months now. What happened to the money? Inquiring minds want to know.

I don't know if Trump took all the money and bet it all on Even/Red, but it is starting to look that way.

This is a Sun-Tzu move, I tell you.  Trump is playing three-dimensional chess while the rest of us play checkers.

Yep. More and more it is starting to look that way with each passing day. If we still had a real news media in America, this would already be settled.

Can you imagine the 60 minutes team from the 70s/80s getting on this? There would be blood. But, they and we are all dinosaurs now. There is no more 'news' that is no tightly controlled by either corporate interest groups or the White House. That is a shame, but, what can you do?

If the powers that control everything wanted us to know about this, and wanted us to know in this time frame, then we would know. Obviously, for some reason, they are not interested, or do not want to publish what happened with this incident.

We will know when they want us to know. And, at that time whenever it is, we will know what they want us to know.

Of course it will be.  The conman/snake oil salesman will provide an accounting of the funds.....just not all the funds.  Tump has to get his 60/40 cut.  The man has overhead. Admin costs. Salaries to pay his best people...

You'll have to wait until Trump has the official nomination. Then the blood will flow... No point now.

Did El Douche show us the Money today as promished.  Was it Great? Was it a Big press conference....  The greatest evar?
