What's the real reason Trump won't be at tomorrow night's
debate?
I find it hard to believe that the man who takes pride in hoisting himself upon the bully pulpit (in more ways than one) cowers before a pretty blond from FOX News. Does anyone really think he'll pass up yet another chance to be front and center before his admirers?
Is this another mere attempt to manipulate the conservative news via bullying?
Three predictions:
a. Trump will be at the debate tomorrow night.
b. When he does show up, he'll have yet another blustering braggadocio claim that he won some kind of battle, thus proving his "ability" to be president.
c. Watch O'Reilly tonight. It's the perfect chance to accomplish a. and b. above.
I don't know if anything will turn the Trumpets off of Trump. No matter what he says or does they applaud.
There was one of them on FB talking about this being a brilliant sales technique, especially with the wounded warriors fundraiser. I said if he really cared about veterans, he wouldn't be holding the fundraiser at the same time at the debate. The Trumpet bristled and said "he has donated millions to that charity for the last 10 years. You love to assume to the worst in people who you disagree with politically. That's sad"
So I did a little google'ing - Trump has NOT supported the vets by anything near that amount.
According to Forbes, "The Donald J. Trump Foundation has donated $5.5 million to 298 charities between 2009 and 2013 (the most recent year available), according to the non-profit’s 990 tax forms from those years. Of that, only $57,000 has been donated to seven organizations that directly benefit military veterans or their families, Forbes found. Wounded Warriors was not among the organizations Trump’s foundation gave to in that time period."
