It is just starting to dawn on the Trump “kids” that their call to insurrection from the platform that day will not just act to anchor down any future political aspirations. No, it is much much worse than that. Their little “stunt,” the stunt motivated by thinking “what do we have to lose?” as an attempt to overthrow the United States government, is cutting deeply into the only thing they ever really cared about all along.

Trump’s adult kids have spent every waking day since age fourteen looking forward to that point when they inherited a rich empire. They expected it. It was their due. They were special. They had special gifts, even if they started with nothing they would be just as rich (Almost all who inherit money believe this). But all of it, that entire empire may vanish for just two to three simple reasons.

First and foremost, their “brand” that they associated with the “luxury lifestyle” was their most valuable asset. (Many people would vomit at the thought of defining oneself with “luxury.”) That brand is now associated with the worst president ever, a man who tried to topple the U.S. government. Businesses are diving out of deals associating themselves with Trump before it really hurts. Trump’s brand is worse than meaningless, it’s in the negative. It will cost them money.

Second, there will be investigations into whether that brand ever stood for much of anything even before Trump’s presidency and whether that brand will help them raise money into the future if Trump has no post-presidential future.

Third, someone has to figure out Deutsche Bank, all the Russian friends, and the peculiar relationship with Russia. Someone will. We need to know if the “brand” was more of a “front” in order to launder money.

All of it is coming together to light Eric’s hair on fire because he sees it all slipping away.

Who to blame? Not dad and family for being Trumps. No, blame the left, of course. Make it all about “cancel culture” even if, this time, businesses are canceling sedition.

Hannity’s website has some great Eric quotes:

“We live in the age of cancel culture, but this isn’t something that started this week. It is something that they have been doing to us and others for years,” Trump told The Associated Press in an interview on Tuesday. “If you disagree with them, if they don’t like you, they try and cancel you.

It isn’t about liking you, Eric. It’s about not liking sedition. You think that “they will try and cancel you?” Every reader use Yoda voice, “No, do or not do, there is no try.”

“You have a man who would get followed to the ends of the Earth by a hundred million Americans. He created the greatest political movement in American history and his opportunities are endless,” he added.

First, it is only 74 million and another man had 81 million and so that wouldn’t appear to be the greatest movement. Second, in terms of political movements, we can think of a few that are “greater.” George Washington had a good one. Abraham Lincoln, had a pretty good political movement, freeing everyone and winning a war to do it. Teddy Roosevelt busted up the steel monopoly, oil monopoly, railroad monopoly – pretty good, FDR had a pretty good movement in making the world safe for democracy, Tubman, Susan B. Anthony, Eleanor Roosevelt, there’s that Martin Luther King guy who brought millions to the Mall and didn’t break anything. Hell, even Steve Jobs and Bill Gates put technology in our laps …

Eric’s statement is pretty stupid.

But that’s Eric and Eric is damned scared right now. He must align himself with a group that will not hold sedition against him or their brand is done just like his inheritance. The only thing left is the far right, not the richest people on Earth but they’ll have to do.

Watching it is pretty pathetic. But that’s Eric.

Peace, y’all
