Thats BS. The town waived the fines and ended up simply letting him erect a 70 foot flagpole elsewhere on the property, in lieu of the 80 ft one, he was flying before. Yes he offered to donate 100k to the VA, as well, but without any financial disclosures, we wont know if he did that or not.
This is an example of a narcissist doing whatever he wants while lying and doing all just to piss people off and show off his entitlement, which makes him feel like a bigger man..
