Eric Trump reminds us he is still an idiot (actually, lazy idiot)

Eric Trump on Saturday tweeted an image of an imposing property he claims Joe Biden owns and is possible evidence of corruption by the Democratic presidential nominee, Business Insider reports.

Said Trump: “The salary of a US Senator is $174,000 per year. This is Joe Biden’s house…. seems legit.”

“But fact-checking site Snopes pointed out that Biden hasn’t owned the property for 24 years, and had bought it for a bargain price of $185,000 in 1974 when it was derelict.”

***************

Hasn't owned it in 24 years.
Even a cursory check would have shown that it no longer belonged to Biden

When these people lie, it does not mean they are stupid.

It means they think the people they are addressing are stupid.

But that's incorrect; some parts are missing.

Lifted from the "Minions" movie, but origin uncertain.
