Eric Trump was in a mood Tuesday as Stormy Daniels described in graphic detail about having sex with his father, former President Donald Trump. His mood did not lift afterward and Trump the Younger went fire and brimstone on X. Perhaps this is a case of like father, like son, because Eric was definitely in rant mode.
I’m not going to go into the gory details about the alleged hush-money payment. That’s been detailed a bazillion times, but as Daniels testified inside the Manhattan courtroom about the even gorier details surrounding sex with his father in 2006 when the elder Trump hadn’t even been married to Melania Trump for a year yet, Eric’s mood must have grown more tempestuous.
As noted by The Daily Beast, Eric echoed some of his father’s claims, declaring that the allegations against his father are a “massive extortion play” and he asserted prosecutors became “giddy” after watching Tuesday’s “salacious show.”
Perspective: Sitting front row attempting to figure out how any of this garbage from 20 years ago relates to “legal” bills submitted by a long time personal attorney being booked as a “legal” expense — but I digress. To be clear, they don’t give a s**t about the merits of this…

“Sitting front row attempting to figure out how any of this garbage from 20 years ago relates to ‘legal’ bills submitted by a long time personal attorney being booked as a ‘legal’ expense—but I digress,” he fumed. “To be clear, they don’t give a sh*t about the merits of this case.”
Well, I hate to tell you this Jethro, but your dad has been hit with 34 felony counts in this little scheme, and his “long-time personal attorney” spent a batch of time in prison connected to this stunt.
It’s difficult to know whether Eric vented his spleen while sitting in court because phones aren’t permitted for journalists, for instance, although Judge Juan Merchan and some court officers have allowed other attendees to be on their phones while court is in session.
In an earlier post on Tuesday, he fumed that the case is a “show trial” where the “sole intent” is to “embarrass and prevent the (presidential) frontrunner’s ability to campaign.”
Then he launched into a wordy sentence that quite resembled one of dear old Dad’s Truth Social posts, and laid his tangled thoughts about the hush-money case out. “No one believes that on the eve of an election, a former President of the United States & the Current Frontrunner, is being tried for 34 felonies (based on a bookkeeping entry, booked by a person who never spoke with the President and sat in New York while he was in the Oval Office 240 miles away in Washington DC), for booking an legal invoice as a “Legal Expense” in a PERSONAL bank account general ledger nearly 8 years ago.”
I wonder how many brain cells he accidentally killed while writing this winner. It kinda looks like he morphed into his father while writing this and I wonder if he stopped to take a breath while writing this.

Actually, Jethro, a lot of people believe this. That’s why we have this huge trial going on, all on the taxpayers’ dime. Whether you like it or not, no one dreamed this up. No one said, “Let’s keep this idiot off the campaign trail by hitting him with a big, lengthy trial, gag orders up the wazoo, and hey, then Biden will win again.” As tempting as that is, it’s just not what happened, no matter what your burning brain wants to think this. Just. Did. Not. Happen.
Daniels went into excruciating details that fall under the “Eww, gross” category so I won’t offer them here. I do not want my lap to be wearing what I ate for dinner.
Of course, as Daniels testified, the defense fired off numerous objections, and although Merchan did say that her testimony had gone into “too much detail,” he still denied Trump’s attorneys’ motion for a mistrial to be declared.
And Daniels’ testimony definitely got dear old Dad all riled up and he spewed plenty of his own bile on Truth Social, gag order be damned. He also demanded a mistrial, insisted prosecutors had “no case,” and claimed his prosecution was along the lines of something that would happen in a “third world country.” Perhaps he’s unaware that plenty of “first world” leaders have been sent to the pokey.
“this witch hunt is false ancient history that was fully adjudicated by the voters in the 2016 presidential election,” Trump wrote Tuesday. “it only has to do with election interference, and trying to help crooked joe Biden get elected because he can’t do it by himself.”
Trump can’t do it by himself either. He needed Corey Lewandowski and Katrina Pierson and Kellyanne Conway and Jason Miller and gosh, so many others. But I guess that’s okay for Trump but not for Biden.
Trump can barely get through a press conference without befuddling everyone with his invented words, run-on rambling sentences, and just plain word salads, so the fact that Eric Trump is beginning to sound a lot like his father is not necessarily good news. Like his dad, he can continue to alter the facts all he likes.
But what the younger Trump doesn’t understand, and doesn’t want to understand, is that facts rarely ever change. No matter how much he and his father may want them to.
X users schooled him on this as well. I’m sorry Jethro, but sometimes reality is a cruel teacher.
Sadly, it's all true. Your dad cheated on your stepmother while pregnant with your little brother.
Then he paid money to a porn star the so voters wouldnt find out.
It's that simple, your father is a creep.

I 100% believe your father is guilty, and WILL be going to prison.
The prosecution has the receipts (with Weisselberg’s handwriting).

Cohen was on retainer, so why else would you submit hush money as “legal expenses”. You truly are the dumb one. Go mow your mom.

It's chilling to realize what's happening to your father today in court could happen to any one of us for making illegal campaign contributions of hush money payments to a porn star.

It's comical you're trying to garner sympathy for your corrupt fraud of a father who's pretty much been an ugly human being his entire adult life and has cheated people from all walks of life for decades, contractors, small businesses, you name it. I hope those people that Trump…

I wonder if Don the Con just happened to use Earache’s account to post it himself (and try to dodge yet another breach of the gag order)
interesting idea but I doubt the word perspective is in his vocabulary.
No one will ever accuse eric “tweedle-dumber” trump of being intelligent.
