Trump to reporter asking about promised money for veterans: ‘You’re a nasty guy’
Donald Trump is ponying up with money he promised veterans, but only after being publicly embarrassed to do so, and complaining he had “no obligation” to do so.
Click here for reuse options!Almost four months after saying he would give $1 million of his own money to veterans’ causes, Republican candidate Donald Trump moved to fulfill that pledge on Monday evening — promising the entire sum to a single charity.
Trump said in an interview Tuesday that he pledged the $1 million to the Marine Corps – Law Enforcement Foundation. The mogul notified the group’s chairman, retired FBI official James Kallstrom, in a phone call sometime Monday night, according to Kallstrom’s wife, Sue Kallstrom.
Trump’s call to the group came after The Washington Post and other media outlets had questioned whether Trump had actually fulfilled a vow he made in January at an Iowa fundraiser.
The timing of the gift also contradicts a statement from Trump’s campaign manager, who said last Friday that Trump had already given away his donation. “The money is fully spent,” Lewandowski said then. “Mr. Trump’s money is fully spent.”
…When asked if the Monday donation was in response to questions from the news media, Trump said: “You know, you’re a nasty guy. You’re really a nasty guy. I gave out millions of dollars that I had no obligation to do.”

>> Good, show us your taxes
Paying taxes is patriotic.
I think that Trump’s tax returns proves he’s not an American patriot.

The Trumpster has joined a long list of Republican presidential wannabes who feel that members of the news media should act as though they are working for the candidates’ public relations departments, only asking them the questions that they WANT to be asked and reporting only those stories that will improve said candidate’s public image.

The fact that he lies through his teeth and uses veterans as props makes him beneath contempt.

If you still support Donald Trump, you are simply not smart enough to vote.

“…I gave out millions of dollars that I had no obligation to do.”” um, no. you didn’t give out millions. remember you said you didn’t know where the 6 mil went? it’s in your pocket and so you gave up a mil. pos.

Alan is right.
Trump is a pathological liar. He can’t help himself.
If Hillary is smart (and she is) she’ll use this against him.
Trump is thin-skinned and reactionary. Trump will destroy his own presidency.

he doesn’t have the black votes, he doesn’t have the latino votes, the Muslim votes, he doesn’t have the Jewish votes, and he doesn’t have the majority of the white votes.

“Trump said: “You know, you’re a nasty guy. You’re really a nasty guy. ”
It takes one to know one.

Trump’s egomania is so out of control that he will continue to lash out at anyone, anytime, who dares to question anything about him..
He has broken all records for name calling and denigration of individuals, groups, and nations.
