I was sharpening up some sticks, boy!!!...I was lighting up torches. When the Forbes article came out about siphoning money from a children's cancer charity, I was about to burn shit down...then I read more into it...
...depending on how you see it...well it's up to you..
Essentially Eric used Trump facilities to host fundraisers to which he paid the facilities for its use. So far the charity has raised millions of dollars ($36 mill) and created an ICU for children's hospitals. The operating costs were paid to the place.
Let's simplify...say you have a relative who has a bitchin backyard. So you pay them to use their backyard to host a party for your kid's school function. Well, you still gotta' pay the relative for people to set shit up. You can't just eat the cost. So, some of the charity funds will need to go to the relative. Looking at it from an enemy's perspective...no doubt this would look bad. Like basically you're siphoning the school charity funds to pay your relative. Is there a conflict of interest there? Should your relative have done it for free? That's where we can differ. Is it siphoning money? I don't think so. A business still needs to run. Giving shit away for free forever is going to break you.
This was actually for a good cause and I'm sure Eric Trump had no idea it was going to make him look like a terrible human being. I think Forbes could've written the article a little less...accusatory. But that's the internet world we live in today.
