Temper, temper. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Eric Trump threw a total hissy fit over a piece that Jen Psaki did on MS NOW and he’s threatening to sue both the anchor and the network. This is what made Eric flip his lid.
“You see, Eric is on the board of a company called ALT5 Sigma,” Psaki said, showing a clip of him and his brother ringing the New York Stock Exchange opening bell with the company name shown around them. That was one of the claims Trump denied.
“While Eric is in China with his dad, the Financial Times is reporting that this company has a memorandum of understanding to explore a potential deal with a Chinese computer chip manufacturer to build AI data centers, and a whole bunch of other AI related stuff,” Psaki said. “Oh, and guess what else? That Chinese firm they have that memorandum of understanding with? Well, Congress has warned that that company is connected to the Chinese Communist Party.”
“Now, neither the Chinese chip manufacturer or ALT5 responded to the Financial Times’ request for comment, but it certainly seems like Eric might be getting a little more than just quality time with his dad out of this China trip, doesn’t it?” Psaki wondered.
“I mean, I could go on and on and on about all of the sketchy ways that Trump’s sons are making money while their dad is president,” the MS NOW anchor went on. “Just last month, Eric was on Fox Business, bragging out loud about how one of his companies scored a $24 million contract with the Pentagon. Last year, a company partially owned by Trump’s other adult son, Don Jr, landed a nearly $5 million contract with the U.S. Air Force, and both of Trump’s sons are now part owners in a new drone company that is hoping to win major Pentagon contracts.”
Psaki concluded: “I should say that all of those companies deny there is any conflict of interest, as do Don and Eric. But wouldn’t it be great if someone—say, the IRS—were to check, given how clear the potential conflicts of interest are? You would think that Trump and his sons would deserve more financial scrutiny, not less. But nope.”
Eric steadfastly denies having any relationship with the company, whatsoever, and states that he was in China for the sole purpose of supporting his father, whom he “adores.”
Looks like there’s some solid disagreement there. It will be interesting to see if Eric Trump does sue. The Trumps file a lot of lawsuits and then the suits end up being quietly dismissed for lack of substance. Let’s see what happens with this one. Eric was certainly righteously indignant.
