‘Veterans for Trump’ group formed after comments on John McCain
Spokeswoman cites ‘written confirmation of support’ from each name listed

Several people listed as part of the “Veterans for Trump coalition” formed by Donald Trump following his incendiary comments about John McCain’s war record have denied they are part of the group, the Guardian has learned.

Trump’s campaign announced the formation of the New Hampshire-based group in response to criticism of the business mogul’s labelling of McCain, who spent five and a half years in a North Vietnamese jail, where he was tortured, as “not a war hero”.

A number of people were named as members of “Veterans for Trump” on Trump’s election website. “These veterans have pledged their support to Mr Trump in the primary, and they will be advocating for him,” a press release said.

But when the Guardian contacted several claimed Veterans for Trump members on Friday, three said they had never heard of the organisation and had not signed up as members.

“I don’t know anything about it,” said Ernie Fusi, an 88-year-old second world war veteran from Atkinson, New Hampshire. His name was among 51 “Veterans for Trump” whose details were sent out to the media and listed on Trump’s website.

“I haven’t told anyone I want to get in on that,” Fusi said. “I’m not going to do any campaigning.”

On Saturday, the Trump campaign disputed the accounts of those interviewed by the Guardian.

In an email, a spokeswoman said: “The campaign has written confirmation of support from each of the individuals listed as part of the New Hampshire Veterans Coalition, including those quoted in this story. We are extremely proud to have their support.”

Fusi said he was a Republican voter, although he had not gone to any meetings or speeches in this election cycle. He said he would not vote in the primary but would vote for whichever GOP candidate ran in the presidential election. He was unhappy about being named as a coalition member.

“I don’t like it,” he said. “’Cause I haven’t given anyone permission to send my name around.”

Donald Richards, a veteran based in Laconia, New Hampshire, was also named on the list of Veterans for Trump members along with his wife, Connie Richards. He said neither had signed up for the group.

“I’m not a member of the campaign, no,” he said. “I have no connection any more than anybody else does to him.”

The Trump campaign announced the formation of Veterans for Trump after the 69-year-old business mogul was roundly criticized for mocking McCain’s military history.

“He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured? I like people who weren’t captured,” Trump said in a campaign appearance in Iowa last Saturday.

The Veterans for Trump coalition was announced six days later. The revelation that several “members” of the Veterans for Trump coalition had never heard of the organization, let alone knowingly joined it, raises questions as to the legitimacy of the coalition.

Richards said he had neither pledged his support to Trump in the primary – as Trump’s campaign had claimed – nor would he be “advocating” for the presidential hopeful.

“I’m not walking around with a sign saying ‘I’m voting for Trump’,” he said. “I’m not doing that. I’m just a regular citizen who hasn’t made up his mind yet who I’m voting for.”

Richards, who is president of the Weirs Park Association in Laconia, said Trump had paid to use the park’s community center for a campaign event on 17 July.

“The only connection I can think of is that they rented a facility that I happen to be in charge of,” he said.

“And in conversation or something in the process of that whole thing I may have been put in or lumped in or brought in with another group or with other people; I don’t know.”

Trump has been accused of paying actors to cheer for him at his campaign launch on 16 June.

Overall, Trump sits at the top of the GOP pack, with 18 percent support among Republican voters, with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (15 percent) second and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (10 percent) third.

Before every presidential election, people claim that they'll move to Canada if (insert candidate here) is elected. After every presidential election, nobody actually does.

Poor Canada. Even bad U.S. presidents aren't enough to get people to emigrate there.

Come to Serbia. It's cheap, but quality living. Plus I have very affordable apartments right by the Danube River you can live in.

Do you like gorgeous sexually aggressive Eastern European women?
If so, you're in luck. We have that over here too.

Trump's hairpiece caught fleeing over Mexican border

In a deposition during divorce proceedings, Ivana Trump accused her husband of raping her during a 1989 incident, an accusation that was first revealed in the 1993 book by former Newsweek reporter Harry Hurt III, "Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump."

The book, by former Texas Monthly and Newsweek reporter Harry Hurt III, described a harrowing scene. After a painful scalp reduction surgery to remove a bald spot, Donald Trump confronted his then-wife, who had previously used the same plastic surgeon.

“Your *** doctor has ruined me!” Trump cried.

What followed was a “violent assault,” according to Lost Tycoon. Donald held back Ivana’s arms and began to pull out fistfuls of hair from her scalp, as if to mirror the pain he felt from his own operation. He tore off her clothes and unzipped his pants.

“Then he jams his penis inside her for the first time in more than sixteen months. Ivana is terrified… It is a violent assault,” Hurt writes. “According to versions she repeats to some of her closest confidantes, ‘he raped me.’”

Michael Cohen, special counsel at The Trump Organization, defended his boss, saying, “You’re talking about the frontrunner for the GOP, presidential candidate, as well as a private individual who never raped anybody. And, of course, understand that by the very definition, you can’t rape your spouse.”

“It is true,” Cohen added. “You cannot rape your spouse. And there’s very clear case law.”

"I will make sure that you and I meet one day while we're in the courthouse. And I will take you for every penny you still don't have. And I will come after your Daily Beast and everybody else that you possibly know," Cohen said, according to the Daily Beast. "So I'm warning you, tread very f---ing lightly, because what I'm going to do to you is going to be f---ing disgusting. You understand me?"

I'm already working on getting my work visa for Canada.

Smear trump and you Gyess what he's not gonna sit there and take it. To the extent that trump is likeible it is because he doesn't take any crap from the media or he establishment.

What?

If you're referring to the threat made against the reporter at the daily beast then you'd be wrong because Trump didn't say that. It was Cohen.

Edit: seriously though... learn to *** read. That you can think to accuse anyone else of having an issue with reading comprehension is one of the biggest jokes of all time.

Are you suggesting that Trumps lawyer firing back doesn't count as Trump firing back?

Are you serious?

"Michael Cohen is a corporate employee and is not affiliated with the campaign in any way.=," Lewandowski told CNN."Mr. Trump speaks for Mr. Trump and nobody but Mr. Trump speaks for him," a campaign source told CNN on Tuesday morning.

A second campaign source toed the same line and pushed back against the notion that Cohen is a surrogate for the campaign.

So you don't understand how your lawyers opinion doesn't have to be yours either?
