Eric Trump spent his weekend getting dragged online after appearing at a pro-Trump Christian roadshow in on Friday.
The ReAwaken America Tour kicked back in April and has been making its way around the country ever since. It’s sort of a hybrid of a Trump rally, a religious revival, and a QAnon clusterf*ck.
VIP tickets go for $500 a pop and each tour stop features a rotating roster of right-wing celebrities, including people like the My Pillow guy, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, and Alex Jones.
Eric appeared at last Friday’s event in Branson, Missouri, where he gave a rousing speech about how Democrats have hatched an evil plot to “destroy” Christianity, families, and children, before adding that, contrary to popular belief, he is not a “tinfoil hat-wearing guy.”
How about we take this to the next level?

“It’s unthinkable what these people are doing to this nation,” the ex-president’s son boasted. “The way they want to destroy Christianity, the way they want to destroy our families, the way they’re destroying our children, the way they’re destroying our history, the way they’re rewriting our textbooks–guys, this is a cognizant war in this country!”
“I’m not like the tinfoil hat-wearing guy,” he added. “But if anybody thinks that they’re not weaponizing every single one of these systems — there’s only one party that’s weaponizing the systems.”
Eric Trump is poor man’s Donald Trump jr.

Naturally, people on Twitter had a lot to say about Eric’s remarks…
Dear Juicebox Eric Trump: You are *exactly* the tin-foil-hat-wearing guy – I mean, *duh*!

After getting dragged all weekend, Eric appeared to respond yesterday evening by tweeting a creepy 15-second video of himself standing in the auditorium at the event pumping his fist in the air while the audience chanted “USA! USA! USA!”
Though the the video was submitted without commentary, it’s almost as though the ex-president’s son is trying to say, “You can make fun of me all you want but these people think I’m the best!”

Unfortunately for him, the weird video only led to even more dragging…

Miss GG. Will you or won’t you stop using Twitter?

While i disagree with you about Christianity, I respect your position and your right to make your own choice. The beauty of America is that we are truly a “melting pot”…people of different cultures, ideologies, and beliefs that are free to pursue happiness in whatever way that is manifested for them. We’re not always going to agree on everything, but at the end of the day we’re all on the same team…Americans. Sadly I’m watching people lose sight of that and turning on their fellow compatriots because they’re exercising their right to freedom (speaking specifically of certain high-profile politicians). Have a blessed day, and please know I’m proud to be on OUR team. America.

We don’t really want to destroy Christianity just debunk it and enlighten the world to its nonsense.

THINGS THAT MEAN THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT IS SAID:
1) The check is in the mail.
2) It’s on the loading dock.
3) I won’t cum in your mouth.
3) I’m not like the tinfoil hat-wearing guy.

…and for the intellectually/logistically challenged, “I won’t cum in your mail” lol.

In a democracy, people are free to practice Christianity, or whichever religion they prefer, or no religion at all.
In a democracy, people are free to form traditional families, non-traditional families, or no family at all.
ET and company want to run the country, but they don’t even understand the basics of living in a democracy.

Eric Trump doesn’t want to live in a free and open democracy, or a free and open republic; he, like his daddy, wants to live in a Christian nationalist fascist state. Their model is more the country the country that Francisco Franco led in Spain, or the country that Benito Mussolini led in Italy, and far, far less the country that we have lived in for nearly the entire span of the United States (including the initial stretch in which which chattel slavery was legal in every then existent US state except Vermont).
As Don the Con and his crime family demonstrated, they will
1) rob the country blind in any and every way possible,
2) commit treason and attempt coups,
3) show utter disregard for the rule of law,
4) destroy the US economy, and
5) foment violence and chaos so long as they can stay in control and strip out as much $$$ and power as humanly possibly.
Eric the Con, like the rest of the Con family, needs to be on trial, ASAP!

It’s a shame, but DT and his crew will be back in 2024 even stronger than before! He has been so successful in corrupting the entire Republican party (which is not difficult given how greedy Americans in general are, you love money and power so much) that there is no way there will be any evolution. Unfortunately, many of your countrymen are belligerent and snarky. For them democracy is only valid if it serves their interests. They are also fond of various conspiracy theories, even if they are educated. Again, the Democrats did not see fit to address DT’s rise (he was even ridiculed and the Democrats saw him losing the election in 2016) and underestimated him. If you are in this predicament, the Democratic party did not do its job well and now it is too late to whine.

Eric has taken the lead in Dumbest Trump alive. Don Jr., it’s your move now.
