The other unsavory headline attracting attention to Donald’s third born involves the Eric Trump Foundation’s annual golf tournament to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital's cancer research. It turns out, the charity event is also put on to financially benefit Eric Trump himself.

Why would someone steal from a Children's Cancer Charity when he is already a heir of, stated, $10 Billion fortune?

Of course as I said before, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Grifters grift. It's what dear old dad has spent his whole life doing, and his kids learned at his knee. It's the real family business.

And I thought the thread title was accurate. "Accused" It doesn't take much to smear someone or gossip.

from the article:
Quote:
Foundation filings reviewed by Forbes show the Trump organization received more than $1.2 million from the charity for the annual one-day use of the course over the past decade. They also showed that $500,000 of the funds raised at the event over the years was re-donated to other charities, not put towards children’s cancer research.
If they were "stealing" from charity, why would they put that supposed damning info on "foundation filings? $1.2 million for 10 years use of a private golf course..why is that considered news? Donating to other charities is not stealing.

By the way, do we have a source, other than "Forbes"?

For the same reason his father would steal from fellow Americans at his bogus university. They are parasitic little ****wads, plain and simple. What do you expect from Uday and Qusay Trump...the demented brothers that get off by cutting the tails off of elephants.
