According to Eric Trump, the son of convicted felon and 2024 GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, the fact that his daddy was found guilty of 34 felonies by a Manhattan jury is only helping with voters in key demographic groups.
Speaking with Fox host Maria Bartiromo, Eric, proudly declared, “For the first time, they realize that the system’s coming down, that he’s the victim, he’s the victim that oftentimes some of their communities were. You see them swinging. Look at the African American vote, right? That’s swinging over to Donald Trump in spades.”

Of course, Eric offered absolutely no polling evidence that would prove his absurd hypothesis regarding black voters, and his choice of words — “in spades” — also drew the attention of many on social media, where the failed former president’s son was thoroughly dragged.
So according to Eric, the only reason Black people are swinging to #tRUMP in spades is because he’s a convicted felon to which they can relate. 🤔 pic.twitter.com/sHimiBG9Df
Even though neither he nor anyone in his immediate family has ever served a single day in the U.S. military, Eric Trump wants us to believe that the entire Trump clan “gave up everything to Save America.”
That’s the message Eric conveyed on Twitter over the Memorial Day weekend when he shared a post from another social media user.
That didn’t sit well with many, and it prompted a fierce backlash against Eric and the Trumps.
The families that gave up everything for this country have family members buried at Arlington. How tone deaf can you be? It's Memorial Day weekend, FFS!! We are remembering those who actually did give it all.

You’ll do what again? Steal from children with cancer? Sell top secret classified documents? Incite an insurrection? Get your followers to smear shit on the walls? Bury your mom on a golf course? Ignore your father’s list for your sister? Commit fraud? Run a scam university?…

Yup, Donald even gave up his bone spurs after the draft was over.
According to Eric Trump, his family has never done anything the least bit wrong, illegal, or immoral, and is the very definition of a “good family.”
During an appearance on Fox News over the weekend, Eric was asked about the ongoing hush money trial against his disgraced father.
“Well, Mark. A hundred and ten subpoenas in the last seven years. Those are ones that I’ve received personally. … I’ve never gotten so much as a traffic ticket,” Eric whined. “We’re a good family. Never have done anything wrong.”
“The way that they’ve come after my father since he’s gone down that escalator is unthinkable,” he added.
Never done anything wrong? As HuffPost notes, that claim doesn’t comport with the recent string of legal judgments against former president Donald Trump and the Trump Organization.
“In the last year or so alone, Donald Trump has been found liable in separate civil cases for fraud, defamation and sexual abuse, racking up hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties.”
“He has been criminally indicted four times. He faces federal charges related to his handling of classified documents and his attempt to overturn the 2020 election. He is also battling state-level charges in Georgia over election subversion, and is currently on trial in New York for allegedly falsifying business records to cover up a $130,000 hush money payment to a porn star who says she had sex with him the year after he married his current wife.”
Twitter users were only too happy to slap Eric down with an online fact check.
Except for stealing from a charity, being banned from running a charity, found to have committed tax, banking, and insurance fraud, defrauding college students, found to have committed racial and housing discrimination, your dad is a twice impeached rapist…
So the 2 convictions recently don’t count, the conviction over stealing from cancer charity doesn’t count ?? The 88 felony charges now doesn’t count, Eric trump is a lying little kid
There aren’t enough characters allowed to be able to post about all that the Trump family has done wrong or illegally. This is a factual statement. Eric needs his head examined. This is a factual statement. https://t.co/LbWYO80Kfd
Trump family has never done anything wrong? Stealing millions from a children’s cancer charity? Cheating NYC out of $500M? Colluding with Russia to win the election of 2016? Trying to overthrow the government to win in 2020? All are crimes. https://t.co/t5fSGmRA1g
According to Eric Trump, it’s almost impossible to buy “skin lotion” and other toiletries in New York due to crime, and it’s all the fault of President Joe Biden.
Eric made his patently absurd remarks during an appearance on “Sunday Morning Futures,” telling host Maria Bartiromo that his old man, disgraced ex-president Donald Trump, is “feeling great” despite being on trial in Manhattan for allegedly paying hush money and interfering with the 2016 election, which he won.
“His fundraising numbers are off the chart. The love out there is incredible.”
“It’s the exact reason that they’re trying to tie my father up in a courtroom every single day between now and [the election],” he continued. “They know that [Biden] doesn’t stand a chance. No one believes him.”
That’s when the former president’s son began attacking New York, which he said was “failing.”
“They’re going after a guy for a $130,000 payment. Every day, they close the courtroom. You know, they close the streets around the court. It costs 20 times that. Every time they shut down the FDR drive, it costs 50 times that. No one believes it.”
“All while in New York, you can’t go into Duane Reade,” Trump added. “You can’t go into CVS and buy skin lotion because it has to be locked behind Plexiglas because theft is so high.”
The entire matter, he asserted, can be laid at Biden’s feet.
“The country does not believe it. But this guy’s not going to make it. He can’t.”
“He can’t get down a pair of stairs,” he said. “He can’t finish a sentence. He can’t read off a teleprompter without some kind of gaffe.”
Biden’s not going to make it? What about Eric’s pathetic father, who is falling asleep in court every five minutes and makes claims so wild that some have suggested he’s suffering from Alzheimer’s?
Nice projection, Eric, but no one believes anything your daddy or his spawn have to say. You’ve lied too damn much and the American people are sick of your bullshit.
Appearing Sunday morning on Fox News with host Maria Bartiromo, the son of failed one-term former president Donald Trump whined that insurance executives who refused to provide bonding for the $464 million owed by the Trump Organization for fraud was asked, “I’m trying to understand how this number came about, $454 million or $464 million, and what the real number is.”
“You know what? It was a crooked number. There are no victims. There is no number. The number should be zero.”
“This is extraordinary,” he continued. “No one’s ever seen a bond this size. Every single person, when I came to them saying, hey, can I get a half-billion-dollar bond?”
Sounds a lot like his old man, doesn’t he? No one’s ever seen a bond this size. Hard to tell if he’s bragging or complaining. Probably a bit of both, knowing the Trump family.
Eric then asserted that he and his father had been laughed at.
“Maria, they were laughing. They were laughing. Top executives of the largest surety companies had never seen anything of this size. And what, they’re going to start seizing assets if he can’t put up something that’s not available in the United States?”
Yes, Eric, that’s how it works. You’re found guilty of fraud, assessed a financial judgment, and if you can’t pay they start seizing your assets. Seems like a so-called “businessman” would understand that, but since the Trumps have always had everything handed to them on a silver platter, they don’t even know the basics of finance or the law.
Starting Monday, New York Attorney General Letitia James will indeed start seizing assets — bank accounts and properties owned by the Trumps — to satisfy the court’s ruling, which proves that Donald Trump has never been as rich as he claims to be. If he’s a billionaire, shouldn’t he have a half-billion sitting in his bank accounts? Earlier this week, he claimed he did, bragging on social media, “Through hard work, talent, and luck, I currently have almost five hundred million dollars in cash.”
Eric, meanwhile, is upset because he knows his old man is about to be broke and his inheritance will be little more than an already besmirched name.
Maybe the Trumps can beg Vladimir Putin for some bucks/rubles. Either that, or perhaps the Russian dictator can provide the Trumps with a dacha in Siberia.
