This is an excerpt from an article which demonstrates that Trump is not donating the profits of his business ventures to charity as he promises.
From http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-charity-lies_us_575b4094e4b00f97fba86ae1
This part caught my eye: "Trump also promised to donate the proceeds of his Trump Vodka to charity in 2005. Trump does not drink, and said his donation would honor his late brother, Freddy Trump, who died from complications of alcoholism."

Think about that. To "honor" his alcoholic brother he created a product line that feeds the addiction of other suffering alcoholics.
That's just about the coldest form of capitalizing on someone's death that I have ever seen. It's exploitation of his dead brother. I don't even know what to say except this man is not merely narcissistic and a buffoon, he is EVIL.

(36,317 posts)Trump and his siblings insisted that the will accurately reflected their fathers wishes. After the challenge, it didnt take them long to retaliate. On March 30th, Fred III received a certified letter telling him that the medical benefits provided to his family by the Trump organization would end on May 1st. The letter prompted Fred III to return to court, this time in Nassau County, where a judge ordered the Trumps to restore the health coverage until the dispute was resolved. I will stick to my guns, Fred III told Evans. I just think it was wrong. These are not warm and fuzzy people. They never even came to see William in the hospital. Our family puts the fun in dysfunctional. Fred IIIs sister, Mary, told Evans, William is my fathers grandson. He is as much a part of that family as anybody else. He desperately needs extra care.
