Eric Trump set up an online fundraiser for his charitable foundation by auctioning off a coffee meeting with his sister, Ivanka Trump, and the bidding exceeded $72,000 before he abruptly ended the fundraiser with four days to go, reported the New York Times.
At least some of the bidders hoped to discuss government business with the executive vice president of The Trump Organization and president/CEO of the Ivanka Trump Brand.
A London-based investment manager said he bid nearly $60,000 to enjoy coffee with Ivanka Trump to learn more about her fathers possible future dealings with Turkey, which were the subject of a bombshell explosive Newsweek report this week, and other nations where he invests.
The newspaper reported that other bidders include the owner of a Houston-based restaurant chain who wants to ask about immigration policy and a real estate executive and fringe presidential candidate from Florida who wants to discuss claims of election fraud.

So Eric thinks he's going to be ripping off some charities in the future, and needs a slush fund

I recall QE2 was not amused when the secret videos started appearing. Hope this happens to the Trump kids.

that is tax-free, and funded by other people, from which he can pay fines to charities that he's meant to pay himself. That's what "trump foundation" means.
