As Charlie Pierce said, what the fck is wrong with this ghoul?

Eric Trump has been an endless source of stupidity since he arrived on the scene. He regularly posts idiotic tweets that do nothing more than prove that he has no self-awareness, no savvy instincts, and everything he does bursts with pureed entitlement. Did we mention he is dumb as grass? Yes, we did, but it bears repeating.

Admittedly, Eric has to keep up with his older brother, who seems to carry himself with a bit more confidence than Eric, though god only knows why. Thankfully, we’ll never be in a position where we have to name which of these two is the bigger idiot. They sort of wash out any scale.

For what purpose would Eric Trump post this tweet? How does this promote or serve Trump’s political needs?

Note: Eric Trump has deleted the tweet, here is a screenshot:

Is Eric aware of the fact that his father is not running against a Clinton this time, and that the man in that picture was in the White House three presidents ago? These questions seem relevant to the decision to post the picture.

Why does Eric need to weigh the cost-benefit to posting a prominent Democrat with Ms. Maxwell, child abuser/Epstein fixer? Oh, maybe because there are about one hundred pictures of his father WITH EPSTEIN HIMSELF! And unlike Bill Clinton, Eric’s father happens to actually be in the race for president in 2020, which makes those pictures with Jeffery Epstein a bit more relevant, especially if we’re going to get some information on the men that utilized Epstein and Maxwell’s criminal services.

In case Eric forgot to weigh whether the tweet would be worth it, the internet responded with a tsunami of humiliating pictures and … as a bonus to our loyal readers, links to articles that further humiliate Trump.

We shall begin with some obvious responses we have all seen before.

Ouch, pictures with Epstein, Maxwell, and two murdering dictators? That would seem to be a “trump card” right there.

The video with the “white man overbite dance,” and the “blonde ass slap.” We have all seen it, and the most disgusting part is the Epstein self-satisfied laugh, as though this is all too cool, but a bit embarrassing.

We have never seen the above pictures before, but that’s what happens when Eric Trump thinks he’s got a hot advantage, new incriminating stuff comes out.

Sure, let's go there, Eric. pic.twitter.com/gNfK3J5rnO

That couple looks rather comfortable with each other, almost as if they’ve worked together for quite some time on various projects.

We have excerpts from an article that discusses the fact that Trump was the only person to offer to help Epstein when he was originally charged in 2009.

Gateway Pundit

Question from reporter: Our current President has had relationships with Epstein in the past and there are those, Katy Johnson and maybe other victims who’ve accused Trump of being involved in things like this.

In my experience, Trump supporters will not listen to anything along those lines.  Obviously we’re not in the court of law here right now, but are those claims, although that case was dropped, it was dropped before it went to court.  In your opinion as a lawyer, in your experience is there anything you can say as to the validity of those claims and whether there will be anything more about that?

Edwards: Nothing at all.  The only thing that I can say about President Trump is that he is the only person who, in 2009 when I served a lot of subpoenas on a lot of people, or at least gave notice to some pretty connected people, that I want to talk to them, is the only person who picked up the phone and said, let’s just talk.  I’ll give you as much time as you want.  I’ll tell you what you need to know, and was very helpful, in the information that he gave, and gave no indication whatsoever that he was involved in anything untoward whatsoever, but had good information.  That checked out and that helped us and we didn’t have to take a deposition of him in 2009.

How very interesting. That would seem to be relevant as to the extent of their relationship.

We also found something else interesting. Eric seemed to think it was relevant that Maxwell attending Chelsea Clinton’s wedding – where “birds of a feather flock together,” and yet Vanity Fair reported that Donald Trump practically invited himself to Chelsea’s wedding – unsuccessfully!

 “Having given Bill Clinton free access to his northern Westchester golf club, Trump National, where he proudly hung photos of the former president-and had even cleared the links once for the Clintons to play on Bill’s birthday, Trump may well have felt they owed him.”

Trump was reportedly so convinced that he deserved to be there that he called Clinton advisor Doug Band seeking advice. “I’m supposed to be at the wedding, Doug,” Trump said, according to Conason. “But I didn’t receive the invitation, and I need to know where to go.” He writes that Band told him to reach out to Chelsea herself for directions—something the billionaire apparently didn’t go so far as to do.

Oh, wow. Trying to get yourself invited to a wedding like a weasel is not a felony – the things he did with Epstein are felonies – but this bit of information is pathetic on a galactic scale.

So all of this humiliating stuff, and some of it requires a real explanation, given the circumstances, all came about because Eric Trump believed he was clever in finding that picture and posting something from a wedding, that tangentially involved a man not even running while reminding the public of his father’s history with this criminal, and his father is running in 2020.

Nice job, Ace. Keep up the great work.

Peace, y’all
