Some folks are never going to get this.

The lower he goes, the more they love him.

4. +1, he doesn't have to be honest as long as he tells them what they want to hear

all he has to do is tell them he donated even more than reported, that the "fake news" and Trump haters are lying about him again, and his heroic deeds are unfairly diminished by dishonest subhumans.

thus, his every crime becomes a saintly deed for which he has been martyred by evil never-Trumpers, Obama-era hold-outs and annoying urban libtards.

with the 2020 election approaching, his hold on the GOP will continue to solidify as long as he can play this strategy unimpeded.

5. One group of many that got a pittance.

Where’s the rest of the money going?” said Keith David at the Task Force Dagger Foundation, which offers support to Special Operations personnel and their families.

David’s group typifies the confusion over Trump’s money. It was listed by Trump as a group that would benefit from his fundraising. And soon after the Iowa fundraising event, the group got a check for $50,000. It came from Rahr’s foundation, with a note that mentioned Trump.

OR he actually did collect six $million and kept much of it for himself.

Any doubts that he is capable of doing it?

Just another lie by the Donald.
