I wouldn’t be holding my breath for a Trump donation if I was the slain cop Diller’s family…..

Donald Trump didn’t cut checks for veterans charities until the very day the press forced him to respond

But rather than having the foundation run the event and direct all proceeds to the charities, as promised, Trump did something quite different. As New York State Supreme Court Justice Saliann Scarpulla put it in her decision on Thursday…
