RR,
I guess pretty stupid since the reply had nothing to do with my post.

RG,
How stupid do you think people are?
This is like all the woman that have suddenly come forth accusing Trump of improprieties that allegedly happened as long as 30 years ago. JUST TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE ELECTION.
If anything it just shows how afraid of Trump the establishment is. But then I guess when your own candidate is not only a criminal but a traitor that's the only option you have.

Trump’s veterans controversy goes from bad to worse
Excerpt from Washington Post
In other words, four months after his big fundraiser, where Trump
touted a tally that turned out to be *untrue*,
Trump only started cutting checks to a variety of groups after the
Washington Post published a story that made
the candidate look awful.
So where does that leave us? Trump said he’d raised $6 million for
veterans, *but that wasn’t true*. He later claimed
he never used the $6 million figure, *but that wasn’t true*. His
campaign insisted Trump had contributed $1 million himself,
but *that wasn’t true*. Trump said he “didn’t want to have credit”
for the fundraising efforts, but *that wasn’t true*. He said he
and his team were vetting groups they’d never heard of four months
after the fact, but *that wasn’t true*.
And as of yesterday, all of this, the Republican candidate
insisted, is the media’s fault.*Indeed, Trump thinks journalists
should **
**be “ashamed” of themselves for scrutinizing his claims that
turned out to be wrong.*
Not to put too fine a point on this, but in a normal year, in a
normal party, with a normal candidate, this is the sort of
controversy
that could end a campaign. Legitimate presidential hopefuls can
get away with some dissembling and the occasional whopper,
*but Trump was caught telling obvious falsehoods about support for
veterans’ charities.*
