What were Clintons selling, indeed? Exclusive: Joseph Farah answers Eric Trump's $150 million question 2016.09.09
Donald Trump’s son Eric may have asked the best question of the 2016 presidential campaign to date.
“What were they selling to make $150 million?”
I think many of us know the answer to the question of what they were selling while Bill Clinton was supposedly running a “charity” and Hillary Clinton was secretary of state.
They were selling influence.
They were, in effect, unregistered lobbyists.
Let’s face it, neither one of them has done an honest day’s work in their lives. They’re high-rent grifters.
And that’s what makes Eric Trump’s simple questions so compelling during this campaign.
“The question I always ask is, what product were they selling?” he’s been saying in interviews lately. “If we make a buck, we sold a bottle of wine or an apartment, or we sold a hotel room. What product were they selling to make $150 million?”
On one of those interview shows, Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt suggested: “Favors? The government?”
“Of course,” responded Mr. Trump, who works on the campaign for his billionaire businessman father. “This is the leadership we have in this country. Somebody sets up a foundation. They pocket hundreds of millions of dollars. They say they come out of the White House ‘dead broke.’ Now they are worth $150 million.”
He continued: “It’s just so so sad. People in this country work so hard, and sometimes they are not able to achieve because of the policies that these politicians put in place – and look what they do.”
The Clinton Foundation is such a twisted, sick joke, even some of Hillary Clintons’ biggest supporters have called on her to shut it down – to avoid further embarrassment. To which Hillary says only that, if she becomes president, the foundation will stop taking corporate and foreign donations.
