Eric Trump, who will apparently now come on your show in exchange for a couple of Scooby Snacks and a quiet place to nap after, is back at it. Trump’s middle son, who is already known for saying just monumentally stupid things in public, really outdid himself this time.

Appearing on “prophet” Julie Green’s podcast this week and promptly compared his dad to basically Martin Luther King, Jr. Well, not exactly Dr. King, but definitely to the systemic racism that Republicans usually don’t even acknowledge the existence of. Except in the case of Trump, of course.

“And now you’re seeing certain segments of the population, like the African American segment of the population, who are coming out and saying, ‘they’ve done the same crap that they’re doing to Donald Trump, they’ve done it to us. For years, they’ve indicted us for nonsense. They’ve thrown the legal system at us, they haven’t given us a chance in hell, it’s been a rigged system.’ They’ve literally made my father a martyr with certain segments of the population.”

Okay, that’s ridiculous. Trump wasn’t indicted four times for selling loose cigarettes. He’s not facing 91 felony charges because he bought an iced tea and some candy and dared to try and walk home. Trump is in no danger of being tased for failure to signal a lane change.

Eric Trump knows all of this. Trump is a rich white man who wasn’t even officially booked out of respect in three of his four pending cases. He certainly isn’t the victim of something that has spanned centuries in America, so ingrained in the fabric of our society that KKK members regularly infiltrate police departments in order to keep nonwhites “in line.”

Trying to draw an equals sign between systemic injustice and Trump being prosecuted for specific crimes is so dumb, we can hardly believe that even Eric could say it. But then, maybe he was on just the right show to set the circumstances for something this hilariously stupid. After all, the host said that God told her that Trump has been “anointed as his appointed one” and that nothing is going to stick because God “called him his David.”

Eric Trump went on ‘Prophet’ Julie Green’s podcast and said that black people are now with Trump because they see that the justice system is treating him just like them. Green says God told her many times that he won’t let these indictments stand because Trump is his new David. pic.twitter.com/erWtt60J7U
