Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Friday he raised $6 million for 22 veterans organizations at the event he held to counter the latest debate.
Trump held the event Thursday night in Iowa to coincide with his boycott of the televised GOP debate after a dispute with Fox News moderator Megyn Kelly.
Most of the veterans groups appear to have been surprised by the news of donations from Trump's foundation, though it is not clear how much money each group received. Many are based in the early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire.
American Hero Adventures
This group offers excursions for combat veterans, as well as former police officers, firefighters and paramedics. Veterans and their families can participate in "bonding activities" meant to relieve stress through archery, hiking, white-water rafting, camping, hunting and more.
Disabled American Veterans Charitable Service Trust
DAV assists veterans in applying for federal benefits and connects them with services through the Department of Veterans Affairs. The group also lobbies Congress on behalf of veterans.

We know for sure he lost the ratings war with the Fox News debate ! And since he didn't show to debate how can we know his current position on any of the questions that were asked during the debate ? In any sporting event if an individual or team doesn't show then they forfeit the contest ! In my opinion he couldn't have won !
