Trump Foundation' s huuuuge ($7) donation to Boy Scouts

When David Fahrenthold was investigating Trump's phony "charitable" foundation, he came across a donation from the fund to the Boy Scouts in the amount of $7. Trump made no other donations to the Scouts, and Fahrenthold surmised that Trump had used the foundation to pay the $7 membership fee for Don Jr., who was 11 at the time. Trump did not respond to Fahrenthold's request for an explanation.
