Eric Trump under fire for 'particularly disgusting' statement on Memorial Day weekend

[Tom of Temecula]

Donald Trump's son, Eric, is catching some heat this Memorial Day weekend after a "particularly disgusting" statement he posted on social media. Eric Trump, who made headlines due to his defendant status in a civil fraud lawsuit in New York as well as his appearances at his father's criminal trial, caused the firestorm when he responded to a photo posted of his family on X, formerly called Twitter. In addition to Eric, Donald Trump Jr. and Melania are in the picture.

"The family that gave up everything to Save America," the caption reads. "Thank You!" Eric shared that image on Saturday, writing, "And we will do it again!" Conservative Bill Kristol said it was "Particularly disgusting to post this on Memorial Day weekend."

@mamajello replied, "I’m with you. Tasteless to post that this weekend…or any day. They have sacrificed *nothing*." @IvanasStairCam chimed in: "You’ll do what again? Steal from children with cancer? Sell top secret classified documents? Incite an insurrection? Get your followers to smear shit on the walls? Bury your mom on a golf course? Ignore your father’s list for your sister? Commit fraud? Run a scam university? Bankrupt casinos?"

@Leslieoo7 also replied, "The families that gave up everything for this country have family members buried at Arlington. How tone deaf can you be? It's Memorial Day weekend, FFS!!" the account wrote. "We are remembering those who actually did give it all. Even for a Trump, this is shockingly awful."

1. Their victimization and arrogance is non stop.

[EddieOnTheMesa]

95. Family History

5 Generations and no veterans tells you all you need to know.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. And doesn't Junior have a wife and children somewhere??

[jimfields33]

5. She running the RNC.

The kids are with the nanny as all wealthy kids are.

[PJMcK]

6. Wrong one

Lara Trump is married to Eric. She was recently elected co-chair of the RNC.

Junior is divorced from his first wife, Vanessa. They had five kids together. Junior is engaged, I think, to Kimberly Gilfoyle who is the woman on the left in the photo.

They’re all disgusting. What a family…

[jimfields33]

8. Oops. You are right. Ugh. Both weird. But indistinguishable.

[North Shore Chicago]

27. Geeez

How long have they been engaged? Seems like years and years.

[Hekate]

79. They are a seriously sick family

[wnylib]

90. They put the "dys" in dysfunctional.

[Rhiannon12866]

7. Not Eric, that's his RNC wife there. I meant Junior. He's with that creepy screaming woman, not his wife.

[jimfields33]

9. So confusing. The entire family is weird.

Thank you for correcting me.

[Rhiannon12866]

11. I remember seeing a photo of Junior here ages ago with a couple of his young kids who looked all weepy

And I agree, that photo makes my skin crawl, how long will it take before we never hear about them again? I expected that to happen after the 2016 election.

[3Hotdogs]

13. Junior has a squeeze. He is not married.

[Rhiannon12866]

14. He used to be - with several kids.

[oldsoftie]

17. Jr's ex Vanessa is apparently dating a former Secret Service agent.

Wouldnt surprise me if one was "protecting" the hell out of Melania too

[Rhiannon12866]

20. Thanks. I'd feel bad for the kids, but they're likely better off.

[oldsoftie]

52. Much like their grandfather, JR probably never visits.

Good for the kids.

[onecaliberal]

55. Yes. I'm sure she threatened to go public with his behavior and drug habit.

[Irish_Dem]

3. The Trumps damaged our national security and put the military at risk.

By stealing and selling classified documents and whatever else they did to make billons of dollars.

They align with our enemies, the world's dictators.
This weakens the US and puts our military at risk.

Really aggravates me to hear them pretend to have made sacrifices.

[keithbvadu2]

82. Jared felt that a security clearance was a license to sell our country's secrets.

He could not get a security clearance on his own trustworthiness.
Dotard had to order it for him.

[Irish_Dem]

83. Kushner was Trump's bagman and of course had to have access to all the merchandise.

So Trump had to order top secret security clearance for Kushner who yes could not get it on his own.

I believe Kushner was the one who organized the procuring, planning and sale of the classified docs.
Trump would have no idea which country wanted what secret plans.
What they were worth and how to deliver them to the customers, etc.

Kushner would make it his business to work out the details.

[keithbvadu2]

84. "business" --- Good choice of word.

[Irish_Dem]

86. Kushner sees the world as a giant monetizing opportunity.

[keithbvadu2]

85. OOPS! Duplicate.... delete

[brer cat]

4. That is way beyond tone-deaf even for bone-spur's family.

Disgusting, deplorable, and deranged!

[forgotmylogin]

80. They didn't even give up what they were "supposed to" due to the emoluments clause.

Jimmy Carter gave up his farm/business.

[bucolic_frolic]

10. Like father, like son. Eric Trump is truly a chip off the old Bone Spurs /nt

[lastlib]

48. Turd doesn't go splat far from the asshole.

Good effing god, the arrogance/stupidity of this clan is jaw-dropping some days.

The only way they could ever "save" this country is to flee to Russia and never be heard from again.

[Bundbuster]

91. Gums & Von Shitzenpants

Shitler cannot smile - always a derisive smirk.

[TheRickles]

12. I'd be interested to know what he thinks his family has given up in order to save America.

[duncang]

28. Some of the family scams?

Just like donnie they believe they are the only ones who really count. When you have gotten away with decades of scams and fraud you might believe you’re entitled to them.

[Irish_Dem]

29. Their cheating, lying and grifting came under scrutiny.

So they had to become more devious to run their crime operation.

The injustice of it all.

[3825-87867]

15. BS Trump

Bone Spurs Trump.

Runs in the family.

[Biophilic]

16. Just plain classy. Nothing but class from them. Nt

[oldsoftie]

18. Said by the same idiot who said "This family has never done anything wrong"

Trump rips off the taxpayers EVERY SINGLE DAY

[Paladin]

19. Fuck you, gummy. Where you breathe. (nt)

[Lonestarblue]

21. The family that stole from US taxpayers every single day for four years and sold intelligence to our enemies.

[Irish_Dem]

30. And made billions of dollars doing it.

Such a sacrifice.

[twodogsbarking]

22. Yuk.

[sarge43]

23. It's a family habit

Anyone else remember Ivanka's twit about 'celebrating' Memorial Day with champagne pop cycles?

Heart slobs

[niyad]

25. To be fair, I think that was 4th of July. But. . wasting good bubbly??

Also, notice that princess sparkle pony and plastic man are not in that image. Nor is Barron.

[marble falls]

34. Jarod has managed to leverage someone elses billions into a fortune for himself and the princess ...

... and Barron seems to have benefited from some new genes in the pool.

[sarge43]

37. It was Memorial Day, 2017

The 4th would have been slightly less gross, but today is a day to remember, not celebrate.

[ShazzieB]

68. I noticed the Kushners' absence right away.

Didn't think about Barron, though, I guess because I don't think of him or Tiffany as being a real part of the family unit consisting of Dad, Jr, Eric, Ivanka, and their respective partners. The old man seems to have a different kind of relationship with his 3 oldest kids and treat the other two as afterthoughts.

[sop]

72. That $2B Saudi "investment" gives Jared the courage to tell his father-in-law to go f**k himself when he calls.

[ShazzieB]

88. Good point!

I never thought of it that way, but obviously he and Ivanka don't need a damned thing from her leering, lustful Daddy Dearest at this point. I think they're very wise to keep their distance.

[Hekate]

81. No Tiffany, either

[niyad]

24. What everybody else has said. Plus, oh, look, coke jr and gums are wearing

daddy's shoes.

[anti stupid]

26. a family of cockroaches... no wait

Cockroaches bring more value to our world. Where is my Cockroach sticky trap though?. I would love to see them all get stuck then toss it into the hazardous waste dump.

[Wuddles440]

31. What a POS!

Even more despicable considering his family's history of avoiding military service and disparaging those who do make that commitment and actual sacrifice.

[PatSeg]

50. Yes, you'd have a hard time finding any

Trump who ever served in the military. Even Gramps left Germany to avoid the draft. This is a family of leeches and losers. They are there to take after others do the giving.

[marble falls]

32. Well, you've got to consider his upbringing. And his genes. Defective brain. His .......

It's a long list from someone who never had to or even wanted to give up a fucking thing in his life. Other than being a Drumph, what else is qualified to do? Manage a Berder King?

[sop]

33. Best word to describe Trump's son: "Mammothrept" (a weak, spoiled child, a mollycoddled young man).

From Late Latin, mammothreptus: "kept at the breast too long."

[niyad]

36. Thank you for the addition to my vocabulary.

[Kid Berwyn]

35. The Scumpfsters

TV’s Most Rapacious Fascist Family

[BoRaGard]

38. We are not "suckers and losers" like you republican shirkers say

We served America. So shut with your vile republican insults of our nation's veterans, war dead, and Armed Forces. Sit the f*ck down.

[Mike Nelson]

39. Simply...

... deplorable.

[Ziggysmom]

40. Memorial Day is a day to visit cemeteries, hold memorial parades and honor the

military personnel who died in the line of duty.

No trumpster has ever been brave enough to serve anyone but themselves.

[sop]

46. I will never understand why so many military/ex-military people support Trump.

It's almost like all their stuff about "patriotism, service, flag, country" was just for show.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

70. I can't figure it out, either.

Especially since Trump is a traitorous seditionist who stole documents and likely sold some of them. And he tried to incite an overthrow of our government because he couldn’t handle the fact that he lost an election.

I used to be a member of our local Amvets and American Legion but I let my membership expire in both organizations. The main reason was both of those places were full of members who supported Trump and thought he could do no wrong.

[mwb970]

41. This family is beneath contempt. What horrible people.

[mn9driver]

42. Malignant narcissism and amazing stupidity, brought to you by the Trump family.

[musclecar6]

43. The audacity

Of our favorite would be totalitarian megalomaniac and his family knows no bounds

[Joinfortmill]

44. The reckoning is coming. After November they will be scurrying away like the vermin they are. VOTE.

[bucolic_frolic]

45. This is an alt-logic rendition of 'Trump is crucified for you!'

[SarahD]

47. I appreciate their sacrifice.

They put on nice clothes and stood still for a minute. Even smiled when the photographer told them to. Hope they didn't get PTSD or anything.

[Bluethroughu]

49. It's not Halloween.

It's Memorial Day. The day the freed Slaves in South Carolina gave a proper burial to the Union soldiers that liberated them from sadistic slave holders. While the newly un-enslaved children held a parade in their honor.

It commemorates all the fallen soldiers that died fighting for freedom and Democracy FOR ALL.

NOT SUCKERS AND LOSERS THAT DIDN'T DEFEND OUR COUNTRY BECAUSE THEY AVOIDED THE DRAFT OVER BONE SPURS, YET THEY WERE ABLE TO TROT OVER TO EVERY ORGY AND DANCE PARTY THEY COULD FIND, AND BRAG ABOUT AVOIDING AN STD. TO THEM IT WAS LIKE COMBAT.

[58Sunliner]

51. The only thing they sacrificed is other people.

Literally.

[dlk]

53. Not a single member of the Trump family has ever served

Granddad Trump was kicked out of Germany for refusing to serve, so he emigrated to Canada and opened a brothel.

[marble falls]

63. Orange Jebus did sacrifice something over the Viet Nam war. As soon as it was over, he gave up his bome spurs.

[UTUSN]

54. And yet, living military, veterans, and their families will rush to vote for the a-holes.

[Ocelot II]

56. "Particularly disgusting" is the way the Trump family rolls.

Nice job keeping the family tradition going, Eric...

[myohmy2]

57. wow...

...

[Blue Owl]

58. Gums Disease

[dalton99a]

59. The Trump crime family lied, stole, robbed and pillaged

and will do it again

[usaf-vet]

60. You have given up nothing! In fact, you have stolen top-secret documents and enriched yourself with illegal gifts from..

.... foreign agents. You've lied repeatedly to the American people and your cult followers, and you have formed a parasitic relationship between yourselves and cult members.

It is a parasitic relationship in which you and you alone benefit from the relationship. At the same time, the ill-informed "host" (aka cult members) receives no benefit other than more lies while you drain their meager finances to enrich yourselves further.

[Scalded Nun]

61. These people do not care about outrage, they embrace it

They'll create a shitstorm, then profit off of it as self-proclaimed victims of that same shitstorm.

[roscoeroscoe]

62. It would have been so easy for these two sons to have served

They could have put in their time, Army or whatever, Active or Reserve. They could have waltzed through with an easy BOS/billet or gone a little harder, like the royal family sons in Britain. Helicopter pilot, amIright?

Not that I support the Trumps or their madness, narcissism, greed or cruelty, but it seems like the most obvious move a wealthy/political family could make. The fact this dumbass posts this clueless shit on Memorial Day... bless your heart.

[Hekate]

64. What a sick, sick family

[Qutzupalotl]

65. Oh, they'll give up everything

when the Trump Org and TS go belly up. And Donald's in prison, far from power.

That will save America, just not in the way they think.

[LudwigPastorius]

66. Grifting, traitorous scum...

The only thing that family has done for this country is grease the skids for its quick slide into fascism.

[DFW]

67. You'll do it again?

Ya know what, Eric?

Take the weekend off. I think we’ll manage on our own, this time.

[Woodwizard]

69. They really are the definition of trailer trash.

And my first house I bought was a trailer.

Gaudy gold crap everywhere and over carved woodwork.

All appearance.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

71. What has the TFG family sacrificed?

94. I have a problem with "happy" Memorial Day. Happy? Seriously?

73. not so great expectations

if anybody is expecting something decent, dignified, and graceful from these bandits on the run, they most certainly have not been paying attention. they are a real grift from god.

[calimary]

75. Doesn't look like they gave up ANYTHING.

But they sure did TAKE everything they could grab - including America’s honor, integrity, and self-respect.

[Pinback]

76. @IvanasStairCam - excellent username and comments

You’ll do what again? Steal from children with cancer? Sell top secret classified documents? Incite an insurrection? Get your followers to smear shit on the walls? Bury your mom on a golf course? Ignore your father’s list for your sister? Commit fraud? Run a scam university? Bankrupt casinos?

[Grins]

77. A line of draft dodgers going back to the great grandfather brothel keeper.

It’s in their DNA to avoid service no matter the military. For 139 years, since the birth of Fred Trump in 1869, no Trump ever served.

[Shermann]

78. I'd like to memorialize MEEEEEEE on Memorial Day! nt

[Bayard]

87. I just ate a bowl of chili

I made it today by husband's request.

I think its going to come back up.....

[Skittles]

89. no one in that family EVER served

fucking tasteless
