Amateur hour continues...

Veterans named as Donald Trump supporters say they were not consulted | US news | The Guardian


Quote:
“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 don’t like it,” he said. “’Cause I haven’t given anyone permission to send my name around.”
Incompetence or just lack of ethics?

Trump: I'm very popular with the veterans. They love me. All of them support me so I just picked a few to represent the group.

Easy to prove (from OPs link):

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.”

Trump's campaign would have to claim the veterans are lying. Now, I know who I'd trust...

Trump will now call them losers.

Trump has some audacity starting a self serving group called Veterans for Trump - the name implies that veterans started a grass roots organization.

i'm hoping someone follows up on this. i'd be interesting in knowing exactly how many listed are aware they're members and for the ones that are aware exactly what did they do to become a member.

Trump is pure scum. That so many people support him makes me sad for our country.

Regardless of anything the campaign has in writing, if the men now say they're unhappy about their names being used and that they never had any intention of advocating or campaigning for Trump, then they're not "Veterans for Trump".

Me too, I'm curious about how they went about obtaining the 88 y.o. man's consent.
