Much like his father, Eric Trump is a whiny little weasel who is upset that the family’s company, the Trump Organization, is having to face penalties for their decades of alleged bank and tax fraud, probably because all of the Trump siblings know they’ll never be able to get a real job and are terrified of what happens once the grifting gravy train ends for them.
According to Newsweek, Eric was a guest on right-wing channel Newsmax Wednesday, and he began whining from the moment he started talking to host Carl Higbie, suggesting that the “smell” in the New York courtroom where the fraud trial is taking place just about made members of his family physically ill.
“The courthouse I was in today, it’s disgusting. It smells. You had cables running across all the walls. It’s a disgrace and the fact that that’s a representation of our legal system…” he said. “You see the same thing at airports. I mean how many times do you fly through an airport and you see acoustical airport tiles that are falling down, right?”
A few minutes later, Eric was asked about the government shutdown that was averted late last week, remarking:
“Do I think it was a mistake not shutting down the government? 100 percent. They should’ve. We are running a $2 trillion deficit and our bridges are falling down and our roads suck and our trains are antiquated, they are from the 1950s. You look at China where they are building these bullet trains that go 300 miles per hour, we are falling behind the rest of the world.”

The Trump family and the Trump Organization are facing up to $250 million in civil fines (which would likely be closer to $600 million with interest and penalties), a figure that could bankrupt the company and result in large portions of the Trump real estate holdings being sold off to cover the expenses.
Trump Org. is also banned from doing business in the state of New York, a penalty that’s the equivalent of a financial death penalty, which will be hard for the failed ex-president to explain to his followers considering that he’s been telling them for years he’s the best businessman on the planet.
