Eric rages in his book: “To this day, I occasionally hear, ‘Eric stole money from children.’ It’s infuriating.”
“If Donald Trump were a Democrat, and if my name were Malia or Sasha, I would have been given the Nobel Peace Prize for what I created,” he continues, referring to former president Barack Obama‘s daughters. “The viciousness of politics is hard to comprehend. This was just the tip of the spear.”
In a 2017 Forbes article, the outlet claimed that while Eric and his foundation had raised “some $1.8million, according to federal tax filings,” in 2014, “not all of the money went to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.” According to the report, some of the money went to other organizations with “strong ties to Trump family members and interests.”
Forbes reported about $37,000 went to the Staten Island Zoo, “which at one point said the Eric Trump Foundation had helped to donate three arctic foxes. Another $15,000 went to a charity that supports at-risk Jewish children in a southern Ukrainian city.”
