Eric Trump recently made a rather dubious claim during an interview with Newsmax host Eric Bolling. He suggested that his family had upheld high ethical standards while his father, Donald Trump, was serving as president. To illustrate this point, Eric Trump gave a specific example of how they handled situations involving foreign government officials visiting their hotels. According to him, if they found out that a foreign government official had purchased a margarita at the bar, they would donate all the money from that purchase back to the U.S. Treasury. However, the U.S. Treasury has not yet responded to HuffPost’s request for comment on this questionable claim.
It’s important to note that the Trump administration faced numerous allegations from ethics watchdogs. In fact, in 2019, the New York Supreme Court ordered Donald Trump to pay $2 million in damages for improperly using charitable assets to intervene in the 2016 presidential primaries and further his own political interests. Additionally, Forbes reported in 2017 that the Trump Organization benefited financially from Eric Trump’s foundation, which paid to use Trump properties for charity events. Eric Trump eventually suspended the operations of his foundation in 2016.
Given this context, it’s no surprise that many people on social media expressed skepticism towards Eric Trump’s recent claim about his family’s ethics.
