On Thursday, the Cleveland Clinic, American Cancer Society and American Friends of Magen David Adom pulled out.

On Friday, the Salvation Army, American Red Cross and Susan G. Komen joined them.

I deduce that Trump bought 50 dinners (50x$500=$25k)

That is a lot of Big Macs.

2. The SA is first and foremost an evangelical church

And they have conditions on helping people.

I do not give them my old clothes, etc.

3. They piss away donated money on lavish fundrasing like this all the time.

Many mainstream charities do this.

4. While some organizations take heat for doing things like this.

Their very large donors are use to a certain lifestyle. They do a very good job of raising funds year after year. Small and large donors.

5. I would prefer that they feed homeless people with the money they spend partying

6. So would I. I would also prefer they successfully fundraise.

8. A lack of understanding about a lot of things,

7. Blowing their golden trumpets

against the gays, probably
