Donald Trump on Friday said that it was a “ridiculous shame” that his son Eric will no longer raise funds for his charitable foundation over concerns about influence-peddling.
In a pair of tweets, the President-elect lamented that it was the “wrong answer” for Eric Trump to “no longer be allowed to raise money for children with cancer” because of a “possible conflict of interest” with his presidency.
My wonderful son, Eric, will no longer be allowed to raise money for children with cancer because of a possible conflict of interest with…

my presidency. Isn’t this a ridiculous shame? He loves these kids, has raised millions of dollars for them, and now must stop. Wrong answer!

Trump’s son announced on Wednesday that he would no longer directly solicit contributions to the Eric Trump Foundation, which helps raise money for institutions like the St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital, out of concerns that donors could expect access to the President-elect in return. Eric Trump said he understood the ethical “quagmire” of the situation.
This move came after the Trump children came under scrutiny for their involvement in several charitable opportunities that allowed donors access to themselves or their father in exchange for large sums.
Eric Trump and the rest of the family are still free to donate to charities themselves.
The Trump family has made no announcement yet about plans for the Trump Foundation, a charity run by the President-elect that faced scrutiny during the election for using money intended for charity to settle lawsuits against Trump’s businesses and even purchase a portrait of the real estate mogul.
It’s so sad that the son of His Ass-Holeyness got caught with his hand in the Money Jar.
Did St Judes corroborate that the Trumps have donated millions to them? I’m curious if Erik is as shiftless and deceptive as his father.
TRANSLATION: It’s not fair my son has to stop grifting.
Fuck you and your family, HO! Your son can grift all he wants, so long as he stays on the right side of the law – and you know it. I might add that you have no sense of irony or shame, do you? – You and your disgusting fans screamed and bellowed about Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation raising real charity funds. You are scum, Donny – scum!
It is a damn shame that angry
white people voted the dumbest white man ever as prez!
And what’s truly sad
is, if Putin had ran for POTUS, I think the same dummmies would have voted for him too. What a bunch of sick 
dogs!
