Eric Trump has declared his dad, Donald J. Trump, a “father to America” and one of the most “beloved” political figures in our nation’s history.
Appearing on Sean Hannity’s show yesterday night, Eric spent the entire segment spewing lies about how popular his dad is and bitching about how Democrats are mean.
“They tried to manufacture everything under the son against my father, against all of us. They do it every single day,” he whined. “They continue to do it. Even when he’s a private citizen, they’re still trying to impeach him.”
Clearly, Eric doesn’t understand how the whole impeachment thing works, which is a little odd since it’s happened to his father twice.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Democrats aren’t “trying to” impeach the ex-president. They already did on January 13, one week after the insurrection on the U.S. Capitol, while Trump was still in office.
What happens now is a trial.
Eric went on to say people want to “tar and feather” his dad for no good reason, saying, “They know he did a great job for this nation. They know that there’s never been a more beloved political figure in our country’s history.”
Except that Trump lost the popular vote twice and left office with the lowest approval rating of any president in the age of modern polling. All that would actually make him the least beloved political figures in American history.
Things only got weirder from there.
“What my father did is something that no political figure has ever done in American history, and he changed his country, and he changed it for the better,” Eric babbled on. “And he taught people how to fight, and he gave Americans the greatest civics lesson, and it’s exactly, frankly, what this country needed.”
“He’s really a father to America.”
Watch. Or don’t.
Sean Hannity asks @EricTrump what he would say to his father if he told him he's decided to run in 2024:

Trump and his family are unsalvageable, but I enjoy their ranting. The only problem is that half the nation thinks they make sense. I am grateful for Trump in that he took the mask off all the fascists, homophobes, and white racists. And helped reveal to us that both genders are complicit. So much for the moderating influence of women. Some people had thought these kind of people were gone, but Trump lifted the rock and started singing “Come out, come out, wherever you are and see the racists who fell from the star!”

Given that he recieved less than a majority of votes in both elections, and the latter one by something like 7,000,000 votes and given that many of those who voted for him were voting for a mythic notion of what the traditional republican party stood for (rather than voting for him as a person); it is safe to say that half the country does not think Trump and Trumpism make sense.
Add to that how low his approval ratings were when he left office.
My hope is that he represents the last gasp of a minority of Americans (granted a significant minority) clinging to 19th century beliefs and scared to move into the present.

Don’t.

exactly. this is why fox has dropped so far in the ratings. they can’t even book one of the more popular trumps, just the slow one. junior fake cries much better.

As all sane people know George Washington is considered the father of our country and this sidewalk dump of a family will not change that nor will his ignorant daddy be on Rushmore if there is a single decent American left. His father LOST the popular vote TWICE and so isnt beloved by all by any stretch of this nutjobs imagination. Keep crying you whiny loser .SNOWFLAKE ALERT.
I_am_that_guy
Not so much a father to the country; more likely an abusive parent, with a crazed narcissistic view and a need to shout the loudest in any argument even when wrong; who surrounds himself with people willing to stroke his ego and whose idea of “being a friend to the LGBTQI+ community” is to kick us as he is dragged kicking and screaming from the family home.
Yes .. a truly wonderfail parent.

Please spare me your drama. He was absent in your own life; how could he be a “father for America” when he wasn’t even a “daddy” for any of you kids?
He’s a sociopath; please spare me, Eric.

Eric may be using some the drugs his big bro Don Jr. is alleged to be using. This family is just the dregs of humanity. All of ’em are totally deranged!!!
butchqueen
Father to america? He wasn’t a father to your whiny ass! GO FU CK YOURSELF!
Cam
The funny thing to me is, the fact that they’re sending out Eric to do the defense, means that Trump sees Don Jr. and Ivanka as such damaged goods that they can’t help him anymore.
What I REALLY love is that Eric is attacking politicians in Scotland who are about to vote on whether or not to investigate his dad’s businesses there for money laundering. he thinks those foreign politicians can be bullied like the Republicans here and all he’s doing is pissing off the people who holds his family’s fate in their hands
Not the smartest move.

@Cam, not smart?… well then.. would you say that is Par for the Course? Wacka Wacka… Ok, Yeah, Dad joke pun.. I couldn’t help myself.

Go away Eric. Take your wife and siblings and go away.

rural queer socialist
sadly, while this is appalling behavior
the manner of discussion his/her/their/zir behavior by Queerty is both homophobic and misogynist but playing on a ‘f-word-ggy sissy’ stereotype.
Queerty media should be ashamed of participating in homophoblic and misoygnist stereotyping.
Cam
Hi Troll account.
How about you detail exactly what was homophobic in Queerty’s article.
Waiting…..

@ rural (obviously hetero regressive trumper)
Please provide evidence to support your murky and poorly written accusation. That will both prove you actually know how to use your central nervous system, AND perhaps reduce how much people are already laughing at you.

thanks, graham, for adding facts to trump jr’s rants, and not just repeating them.

It’s so disturbing seeing the Trump boys trying to still get their father’s approval. The entire Trump clan are severely damaged goods….there is no turning back . By far, the worst family ever to occupy the White House. Good riddance and may they all ride into the sunset never to be seen or heard from ever again….

Eric is correct. His father was a “farter to America”. That’s all you can get from a bullshitter like Trump. He’s as delusional as his daddy.
Blitz
Eric can’t stand the competition.
GentlemanCaller
Poor little delusional creature. The most “beloved political figure in our country’s history” never got up to a 50% approval rating–a feat unique among 20th century presidents, and was impeached twice, once for abuse of power and once for fomenting violent revolution. This kid has serious mental issues.

Grandpa Joe is already above Don the Con’s highest approval. 61% of Americans approve of Grandpa’s handling of the country. Donny the Putin Puppet is beloved by a subset of the country, but he wasn’t and isn’t the most beloved. He very well may turn out to be one of the most despised ever, though, with 450,000 Americans dead because of his gross incompetence, a shattered economy, the US’s global isolation, and more!

The Trump Crime Family was obviously sent to us as a cruel juvenile joke by the 9th graders of the 31st century who are running our simulation.

Donnie Junior and Eric have been puddlin’ up a lot since November. They’re in their forties without any credible employment history and are pariahs socially. They’ll likely be hired by some reactionary LLC (Bedwetting Beergut Brigade) and be given some laughable job titles (COO-COO Assistant Advisory Adjunct/Nepotism Division)
This family is truly pathetic.
scotty
absent fathers are rampant in that crime family. he should be used to it by now.

It would be interesting to see exactly what characteristics Eric & Don Jr define as the criteria for a “Beloved Father Figure”.
In normal families, I’d imagine, that would be a wholesome image of a caring dad, who holds a good job down, has time for his family, & takes responsibility for his mistakes and steps up when he needs to. Someone who is handy around the house, helps out friends & neighbours without expecting anything in return, leads by example, and teaches his children to grow up in a morally strong and good manner.
Eric & Jr’s dad cares for himself and himself only. He sucked at his job, never once EVER took any responsibility for his mistakes and had a tendency to blame others (usually Democrats/The Media/Obama/China & other countries etc.). The only friends he helped out were the ones who might give him something in return, and if his actions and behaviour are what his boys aspire to be like, and think is the norm, then yes, they will be in for a massive disappointment.
Dont blame them for being stupid. It’s the way they were bought up, and it’s all they’ve ever known!
cuteguy
He was an absentee father to his own kids growing up according to Ivana, so maybe that’s what Eric thinks a father is. Regardless, I do agree with what Donald used to say, we need to get rid of the electoral college.

Little Eric has the wrong Vaterland in mind.
