It would depend solely on political affiliation. Save the D voters and euthenize the R voters.

there's no better way to win people to your cause than by acting like an arse. good strategy

The Youtube video has been removed for "nudity." I shite you not. Was this chick naked when she made the vid?

We really need to start ignoring these types of idiots, regardless of what side they are on, and just focus on the positives like a large donation to an amazing organization (my Amazon smile charity). Kudos to Eric and St. Jude’s.

If it were only that easy to ignore the #resist loons, they will not be ignored and they’re ratcheting their unhinged behavior up to higher and higher levels. These freaks are like a 3 year old child throwing the mutha of all temper tantrums.

I love St. Jude's, and it is also my primary charity of choice.

God Bless them along with all of the young patients and families that they help.

Found another link for the video (at least one that hasn't been taken down yet).

Thank-you. Now it can be shown to not have nudity in it. Butthurt progs got it removed. (I also wonder how long this one will remain?)

BTW: there are so many #WalkAway from democrats- videos on youtube I would think it was nearly impossible to have them all removed for BS reasons...

Some it will, some will turn a blind eye.

Nothing even in the area code of sex, sexuality or nudity is contained in that video. The woman does not even call for repercussions for the attacks on her, which is far more than I could have managed. She didn't even cuss.

Whoever pulled the trigger on pulling that video needs to have their ability to do so revoked.

so im curious now, how much did Eric trump raise and/or contribute to St. Judes...

the article mentions neither so was Eric Trump just adding his opinion to the conversation and not doing a thing or did he in fact actually help.


yeah after a little research, turns out Trump is a typical Trump, a liar and using his St. Judes mentions to line his pocket and that of Trump Inc., made a nice gross of 30 percent off of his tax filings for several years of 'nonprofit' work his charity has done.

bully for you Eric.


from Forbes

Eric Trump’s old foundation donated $2.9 million in 2016 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a leading cancer center in Memphis, Tennessee, according to a new filing first obtained by the Daily Beast. That document also shows that the president’s son lied to the press about how his organization spent its money.

The Eric Trump Foundation, which changed its name to Curetivity in May 2017, hosts an annual invitational at the Trump National Golf Club in Westchester County, New York, where the president’s son previously claimed the charity could use the course for free. “We get to use our assets 100% free of charge,” he told Forbes last year. The filing shows that the charity actually paid $99,000 to the golf club for goods and services it claims were worth $184,000.

Another $13,000 went to Trump Golf Links Ferry Point, a nearby course that hosted additional golfers for the annual fundraiser, according to the document. Trump SoHo, where the charity had previously offered shuttles to attendees, got another $23,000. And the president’s Florida club Mar-a-Lago got another $11,000 for goods the charity claims were worth $47,000. The charity said the goods and services rendered were worth more than the amounts paid. Altogether, those payments add up to a total of $145,000 from Eric's nonprofit charity to his family’s for-profit properties in 2016.

The filing breaks down more specific expenses that also do not seem to line up with previous statements by Eric Trump. “Things like wine we were normally able to get donated,” he told Forbes last year. The filing shows food and beverage expenses of $118,000.

Every golf fundraiser also included live entertainment from comedians or musicians. “They did it for free,” Eric Trump said. The document shows entertainment expenses of $117,000. It lists an additional $138,000 worth of unspecified "other direct expenses."

The new filing also adds to concerns about whether the Eric Trump Foundation, which helped raise more than $16 million for St. Jude since 2007, has been up front with its donors about where else it was giving away money. Two former board members, Katrina Kaupp and Doug Reinhardt, previously told Forbes they believed all of the money went to the hospital. A "donate now" page on an archived page of the charity's website once said, "All donations solely benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.” Eric Trump hammered in the point, talking about the 2014 event in a video. “We just raised an inordinate amount of money, and it all obviously goes to St. Jude,” he said.

But tax filings from that year showed that only $1.2 million of the $1.8 million raised went to St. Jude. Another $240,000 paid for expenses and $200,000 went to other organizations.
