According to Eric Trump, the son of failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump, it’s bad enough that his daddy has been charged with serious federal crimes that could send him to prison for the rest of his life, but the FBI agents who raided Mar-a-Lago also (gasp!) went though Barron Trump’s underwear drawer!!
The horror. The horror.
That wasn’t all Eric had to say during an appearance on Newsmax in which he also claimed that Democrats are engaged in the systematic “rape and pillage” of their political enemies.
“If you get in the way of the Democratic Party, if you question their power, if you interfere with their little fiefdom, they will target you, they will come after you, and they will try and destroy your life,” he told host Carl Higbie.
“It is rape and pillage. They will burn down the street. It doesn’t matter for these people, they will take out innocent people. They will go after your family, they will go after your kids, you know, they will raid Barron’s room — who’s a 16-year old, 15-year old kid — they’ll go through his underwear drawer, they’ll send the FBI, they’ll spy on your campaign. We’ve seen it all.”
Then again, the FBI only shows up and raids your home when you refuse to comply with a lawful subpoena, a fact that Eric conveniently neglected to mention.
We should all be thankful, the president’s second-oldest son declared, that we have Donald Trump to protect us all from such indignities.
“Thank God you have a guy like Donald Trump who has a lot of money behind his name, who is able to fight these people, who has a very loud voice. He’s the strongest man I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I’ve spent the last 72 hours with him; the guy’s the strongest man in the world, he cannot be run over, he will not be intimidated, he will not stop.”
“He will leave the courthouse, he will do an off-the-record stop — meaning, he’ll go to a restaurant — and then he’ll give a campaign speech that very same night after he gets indicted on 37 counts. Because he knows the game. He has to stand up to the nonsense in this country, otherwise we’re not going to have democracy anymore. Because these people are trying to subvert democracy. They’re trying to take away peoples’ vote by controlling every aspect of the system.”
So it’s cool if you break the law and endanger U.S. national security, but if you look through someone’s drawers, suddenly you’re Atilla the Hun. Good to know that Eric has his priorities in place, huh?
