Quote:The best part about all this, according to Eric Trump, is the charity's efficiency: Because he can get his family's golf course for free and have most of the other costs donated, virtually all the money contributed will go toward helping kids with cancer. "We get to use our assets 100% free of charge," Trump tells Forbes.

That's not the case. In reviewing filings from the Eric Trump Foundation and other charities, it's clear that the course wasn't free--that the Trump Organization received payments for its use, part of more than $1.2 million that has no documented recipients past the Trump Organization. Golf charity experts say the listed expenses defy any reasonable cost justification for a one-day golf tournament.

Additionally, the Donald J. Trump Foundation, which has come under previous scrutiny for self-dealing and advancing the interests of its namesake rather than those of charity, apparently used the Eric Trump Foundation to funnel $100,000 in donations into revenue for the Trump Organization.

Nice deflection.

But I did forget about all the criminal convictions of them and the foundation, so thanks for linking those...oh wait...

Not surprising though...there's no way to defend trump raising money off of those suffering. He's a total ******* and has always been one. Shame you value party and politics over country and humanity.

Yeah, Hill and Bill and their foundation did self deal in Haiti, raising and pocketing money "off of those suffering." I don't recall you being outraged about that at all. You can say I'm deflecting but you're a big hypocrite.

Clearly your delusion is limitless. You get to fly off the handle and insult posters with nary a stern talking to. You get to dictate who gets to do what in the Spin Room with nary a stern talking to. I could go on, but I won't.

You're full of ****. I no longer do what you claim since the new spin room rules were implemented. No, I'm not perfect...but you're conflating a mole hill into a mountain.

And Hambone or LS won't confirm this, but I have on more than one occasion been banned from the spin room. Once for a weekend and once for a month, so save your indignation for someone else. It's not warranted with me.
