CNN reports Two other veterans' groups also distanced themselves from Trump's announcement.
The Wounded Warrior Project said it was not aware of the candidate conducting any fundraising efforts on its behalf.
Meanwhile, VoteVets.org, which calls itself the nation's largest progressive veterans group, issued a statement titled: "Don't hide from Megyn Kelly behind us."

plenty of people and entities riding Trump's marketing machine. Like FOX news.
nevertheless, if Veterans groups that are in business to raise money for veterans are not accepting Trump's donations, on account of, you know, because he's Trump, that says a lot more about them than it says about Trump.
i can tell you this, if i were a wounded vet and waiting for a leg and the veteran's org i am a member of declined donations because they don't like the donator, i'd stuff my stump up their fucking asses and go find a legitimate veteran's group.
