Officials with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign still aren’t saying exactly how much they’ll donate to veterans charities or when they’ll start sending checks, but they have offered a list of 22 organizations in line to be beneficiaries.
Among them are Disabled Veterans of America’s Charitable Trust, the Fisher House Foundation, the Navy Seal Foundation and a host of lesser-known groups with targeted veterans assistance programs.
Trump claims to have raised more than $6 million at his Thursday rally in Iowa, launched as a protest event after the business mogul refused to attend a Fox News debate over complaints about moderator choices.
Of that total, $1 million came from Trump’s own fortune. All of the money was collected by the nonprofit Donald J. Trump Foundation, and the business mogul has promised the funds will be distributed among the groups.
On Friday, officials from the DAV Charitable Trust released a statement saying Trump’s campaign has informed them a donation is coming

If 100% of these donations are going to legitimate veteran's charities in need, then I'm all for it. Our government certainly isn't doing enough for veterans. They're more worried about taking care of "refugees."
Now, if these funds AREN'T going to veteran charities, Trump can take a flying fudge off the Coronado Bay Bridge.

SFC I'm disgusted that any of them would take this money. I KNOW times are hard and there are folks out there in SERIOUS need, but this makes us look like beggars and props. Hold out a doggie treat, and wait for the dog to come and get it. Well he damn sure held out a big treat (Six million), and not to disappoint, we came and ate it. Can't buy integrity, but you can buy a lot of votes with six million. He won't buy mine.

Hopefully some money will actually go to veterans in need of benefits without a dog and pony show SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL
