Crybaby Eric Trump Has a Major MAGA Meltdown Over Challenge to Daddy’s $175M Bond

By

There’s just nothing like a good ol’ MAGA Meltdown, and this time Eric Trump was the purveyor. He was all up in it over New York Attorney General Letitia James raising concerns about his father’s $175 million bond.

The Trump spawn turned all spluttery on X to vent his spleen over James wanting proof that the insurer baking Trump’s $464 million civil fraud ruling is “financially sound.” That’s a good thing to ask when deliberating over financial matters concerning any member of the Trump family, but Eric went all farty and snorty.

“The fact that the New York Attorney General is objecting to a bond that is 100% backed entirely by CASH is just another example of the absurdity and foolishness that have been the underlying theme throughout this circus of a case,” Eric Trump fumed.

James told the New York City civil court she had deep-seated concerns about Knight Speciality Insurance Company’s agreement with the former president, according to court records, Raw Story reports. She has requested in her filing that the company prove they can cover Trump’s massive sum should he lose his appeal to Justice Arthur Engoron’s ruling. Trump’s bond, initially set at $454 million, was lowered to $175 million after he complained it was too much for him to pay.

Unsurprisingly, one of Trump’s attorneys, Chris Kise reportedly described James’ inquiry as a “witch hunt” but Adam Pollock, a former assistant attorney general, told CBS News that the bond appeared “deficient” in several ways, especially since the company didn’t appear to be licensed in New York.

Bruce H. Lederman, an attorney who has filed scores of bonds, told CBS he was surprised by “glaring errors,” and said he believed James’ action was simply “requiring strict compliance with the law.”

All this really means is that James is being cautious to prevent further problems from arising.

And this requirement is what got Eric Trump all feisty. He and his brother Don Jr. were caught up in James’ sprawling complaint as were some of their followers.

“Letitia James is wicked,” wrote Trump supporter @dollydeleon. ” She thinks that everyone else is like her that cannot be trusted!”

“Absolutely outrageous,” added X user Shelley Matheny. “How infuriating and disgraceful.”

Fortunately, there were also those in the “aw shaddap” camp who were tired of Eric Jr.’s bellyaching.

“Quit whining, Eric,” requested Victoria Block.

“Doofus,” added X user John Barron, “the bonding company is not licensed to do business in New York, which is a pretty basically requirement for any legit business.”

Some of the other tweets seemed to hit the nail on the head.
