Cursing Eric Trump Calls WaPo Reporter Over Coverage Of His Dad's Donations

By Sara Jerde, Published July 6, 2016, 6:23 PM EDT

Eric Trump reportedly called up The Washington Post on Wednesday to profanely rant at the reporter spearheading coverage of the charitable contributions made (or not made) by his father, Donald Trump.

But the younger Trump didn't offer any evidence of those donations.

"I’m just saying, Jesus Christ, why is this guy trying to f---ing kill us?" Trump allegedly told the Post's David A. Fahrenthold.

Fahrenthold had meticulously tried to find corroboration for Donald Trump's claims of generous charitable giving, contacting 200 charities associated with the businessman. The reporter found only one charity that received a donation, in the amount of less than $10,000.

around being an ax murderer does not mean Trump has done such a good job of raising them and they are so wonderful blah, blah, blah.

It is human nature to think if someone looks nice - they are nice. Not necessarily. And that goes for all his family.
