If you have listened to enough Donald Trump speeches, you know that according to him the streets of America are filled with “big strong guys” crying and waiting to thank him for “saving” America. But while senior Trump only has stories of supporters being moved to tears at the mere sight of him, his son Eric Trump stepped up his tales when he recently addressed the news of his father’s indictment.
Junior Trump appeared on Fox & Friends Weekend and passionately talked about how his family has been “attacked from moment number one” and claimed that the Manhattan district attorney office “didn’t find a damn thing” against his father. But what really matters is his account of where he was when the news of Trump getting indicted by the grand jury broke – the plane, of course, his usual spot. And oh, a “commercial” one to be precise.
Apparently, as soon as everyone heard that Trump was found guilty, “people were coming up to me, giving me hugs.”
“The support is unbelievable out there because people understand that we’ve literally become a banana republic. They’ve made a mockery of our legal system in this country.”
All that was missing this time was Eric Trump claiming that these “people” had tears in their eyes. Just like his father, he also loves rehashing the same story. In fact, something similar happened back in 2021 when he told Fox News how random strangers have “come up to me on the street in the last week and given me hugs saying, ‘We miss him so much’ – I mean, literally sometimes, Sean, with tears in their eyes – ‘We miss the man so much’.”
Given the fact that Eric just loves repeating the same story, like daddy dearest, his attempts at coaxing an emotional reaction from the masses over Trump’s indictment with the anecdote didn’t exactly work.
During the interview, he also protested that his father was indicted for an NDA. And according to Junior Trump, getting someone to sign a non-disclosure agreement is something “every person in the world does.” Well, he conveniently forgets that the one getting the NDA signed was running for president at the time and had the document in place to buy the silence of an adult film star with whom he had an alleged affair years ago. Not really the same thing, Eric.
