Keith Olbermann Torches Eric Trump On Twitter Over Charity Self Dealing
Eric Trump is hold up somewhere tending to his wounds after Olbermann’s savage Twitter takedown.
Keith Olbermann took down Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump in a fierce Twitter debate on Sunday. Olbermann blasted Trump for skimming charity donations meant for children’s cancer charity St. Jude.
The debate started with Olbermann responding to a tweet from Kellyanne Conway.
“I understand your confusion. You’re thinking of @EricTrump self-dealing charity cash to himself from golf tournaments,” Olbermann wrote.

Eric Trump responded to Olbermann saying “You mean the $16.3 million dollars I have raised for dying children (before the age of 33) at a 12% expense ratio. What good have you done?”
Olbermann was referring to a report by Forbes that detailing how Eric Trump’s charity paid significant sums of money to golf courses owned by his family after telling donors that use of the Trump facilities would be free of charge. The report also noted that Eric Trump’s charity funneled money from his father’s charity through his own and then to Trump golf courses.
After the report, the New York Attorney General announced his office is looking into the Eric Trump charity matter.
Olbermann noticed Sunday morning that Eric Trump had blocked him on Twitter, so he responded by dropping a series of tweets blasting him for his charities actions.
So late last night I found out @erictrump reacted poorly to my Saturday AM tweet about his cut of charity fundraising #Good #QusayNotHappy

So 12% is what you skimmed/self-dealt back to Trump Org, Sonny? The $1m+ I’ve donated to St Jude’s, Make-A-Wish etc came out of my pocket https://t.co/vya3gwHY1H

Remind everybody again which one of us was taking $1.2m in charity as “payment” for a family golf course? https://t.co/3m7X8o0g7F https://t.co/vya3gwHY1H

Charity is when you see people with less or in need, and you give them some of yours, Sonny. It’s not “a 12% expense ratio” (i.e. “profit”) https://t.co/vya3gwHY1H
