Why would any self-respecting television show interview Eric Trump?

Ha, trick question, no self-respecting television show interviews Eric Trump, only Maria Bartiromo, occasionally Hannity, maybe Fox and Friends, you get the picture. If self-respect were important, they wouldn’t be on the air, they would instead have an “okay” dental practice in St. Louis. So, lacking respect, they interview Eric Trump. This morning it was Maria’s turn and Eric had a load to get off his chest. He doesn’t like being sued and sees weapons everywhere:

“The problem with the Democrats is they dig so deep that they always find themselves. And the reason I’m frustrated about this is every single day since my father ran for president, my father and our entire family and our company has been under investigation.”

Please, do not ask us what “dig so deep they find themselves” means. If he means going through the center of the earth and thinks we’re right on the other side, someone in India will point out that he missed the mark and doesn’t understand how globes work. His business is under investigation because it’s a criminal enterprise. Sorry.

“Every single day, Maria, we get subpoena after subpoena after subpoena. But, I mean, they weaponized the entire system in this country.

“They’ve weaponized the DOJ. They’ve weaponized our military. They weaponized the educational system in this country. They’ve weaponized the medical system in this country.

“The Democrats weaponize absolutely everything they can to use again their political opponents.”

Who knew we were that good? In the span of only nine months, we’ve managed to weaponize everything that could be called on to persecute Eric because Eric is a very important person.

Actually, this is one of the most ironic statements ever made. Weaponized DOJ? Who was the last Attorney General again, Bill Barr? The man who protected Trump at all costs and then, after Bill Barr quit, Trump asked for a letter finding fraud in the election. Speaking of weaponizing, pardoning all your friends that might be able to testify against you sounds like a pretty powerful weapon to us.

Weaponized the educational system? One is in a pretty bad place when educating people, young and old, works against you politically. Is it Democrats’ fault that more education means fewer MAGAs? Weaponized the medical system? Actually, it is when you entirely ignore the medical system and run all information through the White House that medical advice becomes a weapon.

This is Donald Trump’s son, saying that Democrats weaponize absolutely everything to use against their political opponents. Was he on glue on January 6th? It sure looked like the MAGAs weaponized their movement in an effort to steal an election.

But this is Eric on television, perhaps on glue while on television. He comes to whine about the unfairness of it all. They should be allowed to grift without interference or meddling by little people. They should be allowed to rule at the highest levels and not be bothered. These subpoenas are so burdensome (And, we seriously doubt that Eric gets one a week, never mind every day).

STFU, Eric. Go away, get off television. Say that you are done with politics and want to focus on your personal life and children, see what happens. Seriously, see if the subpoenas go down to once a month. Give it a shot. Except you love the attention, feeling important. Enjoy the accompanying lawsuits.
