Trump’s standard line when he is about to storm out of a media event
because he doesn’t like how it covers him is that he is going to go host
an event to raise money for veterans. Thus it was no surprise when he
announced that he would be skipping the FoxNews event to hold a separate
event to raise money for… well, “veterans,” generally. Of course, Trump
did not name a specific charity so that his feet might be held to the
fire on this, just “veterans,” generally.
Well, there are two small problems. The main veterans group that Trump has used for publicity stunts in the past, the Wounded Warrior Project, was the subject of a scathing CBS report and recently lost their tax exempt status. Besides, if Trump is planning on using them, he hasn’t told anyone from the group. Per CNN, the Wounded Warrior Project has not even been contacted by Trump about possibly doing an event tomorrow.
If he is doing it for some other group, they are now lining up to say
that they don’t want any money Trump might make off of promoting
himself, and will reject it if offered.

Two groups. Pretty short line.
