Oh my! Eric trump... another foot in mouth....

[IcyPeas]

Eric Trump: He's the victim that often times some of their communities were. And you see them swinging. Look at the African-American vote. That’s swinging over to Donald Trump in spades.

2. Anybody remember Baghdad Bob?

He must have moved to the US to give PR lessons to the Trump family. And I wonder whether "Look at the African-American vote. That’s swinging over to Donald Trump in spades" isn't a very unfortunate racist Freudian slip.

8. The reason I always said, "DC Sahra" when Suckabee was TFG spokesperson. n/t

[yellowdogintexas]

13. oh it is a very unfortunate slip. nt

[Grins]

25. ...and at the same time, telling. NM

3. Always "gumming" things up for daddy...nt

[mercuryblues]

4. Foot? Only a foot?

None of them have learned that it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

22. Now, now, let's not assume Eric has a choice!

He's probably under orders from Daddy Dearest to go on TV and spew nonsense whenever D.D. deems it necessary. He and Don Jr are both well-trained to perform on command and will no doubt continue to do so as long as D.D. is still above ground and capable of writing them out of the will.

30. That's only going to last

Until they realize there actually isn't anything left and their felonious father has squandered it all on legal bills.

I wonder if they'll actually figure that out.

[tanyev]

5. That's a foot, ankle and knee in the mouth at least.

Geez.

[Joinfortmill]

6. Despicable grifters

[Disaffected]

7. "See them swinging"? African-American?

"...swinging in spades"?

Seems a poor way of expressing it. But then, he is a Trump...

[keithbvadu2]

9. Better capture that image before it disappears from Twitter (X).

[unblock]

10. Not a gaffe. Totally intentional.

They are far more keen on constantly reminding their bigot supporters that they are the bigots-in-chief. This is especially true when they are positioning themselves as trying to win votes of any minority group.

If their base thinks they've gone soft on railing against minorities, they're whole scam falls apart.

[Think. Again.]

15. This ⬆

[LuckyCharms]

11. He put his entire ass in his mouth.

[Vinca]

12. Did he manage to squeeze 2 slurs into that statement? Amazing.

[sheshe2]

19. He also said they would win the case because the are white.

While former President Donald Trump awaits the jury's verdict in his hush-money trial, his son Eric is out there putting his VERY racist foot in his mouth.

Trump, his MAGA cronies, and even his family members are known for using racist dog whistles and coded language, but on Tuesday, Eric Trump dropped the subtext and was overtly racist when he made a speech outside of the Manhattan courthouse where his father was being tried.

In a speech he gave directly after closing arguments were heard, Eric Trump claimed that Trump will win his criminal case because "we're white." Considering Eric Trump is white privilege personified, it's not surprising. In a clip of the speech currently going viral on x (formerly Twitter), Eric Trump is heard saying, "I cannot wait for the day that we win. We will. We're white. The country knows that this is nonsense."

They're not even trying to hide it anymore. Between this and the speech Trump gave earlier this year, where he asked if the audience would rather have "the Black president or the white president who got $1.7 billion off the price," they've gone from using racist dog whistles to shouting it from the rooftops in plain language.

24. Not disputing Eric's racism and white entitlement, but I think you may be giving him to much credit.

I'm not sure he's smart enough to figure how how to slip racial slurs into his blabber that skillfully and deviously.

Freudian slurs, otoh, happen by accident and the word spades, for example, could easily be supplied by his subconscious when triggered by the mention of black people.

Of course, that's assuming someone else isn't writing his copy, so who knows.

14. Clueless

Much as I despise the Trump spawn, I can’t believe that Eric did that intentionally. He’s really not that clever. But the way in which he phrased that is unintentionally hilarious.

[Think. Again.]

16. It's not that clever. I believe it was intentional.

[brush]

18. No way. It's pure stupidity. Remember, he's the dumb cluck son.

You say it's intentional to insult a nation of Black voters with a racist remark?

Okay, then.

[Think. Again.]

20. Yes, I do believe that eric trump would intentionally insult a nation of Black voters.

[brush]

28. Hah, t doubt the moron even knows what he did.

[Think. Again.]

34. I disagree, I suspect the entire family is very well-versed in racist and bigotted dogwhistling.

[brush]

36. I still don't think he knew what he said until someone told him later.

IMO her was just rattling off an old cliche that came to mind. You give the dumb cluck too much credit.

[Think. Again.]

37. I think maybe you are giving him too little credit for being the absolute racist that he is.

[brush]

38. And how does that make sense since their whole campaign narative is how Black voter are switcing to back trump?

So he just insults Black voters purposely?

Yeah, sure.

[Think. Again.]

39. Yes, and probably gets a laugh out of...

...how many people are saying he's too stupid to be doing it on purpose, making it safe for him to keep doing it.

I suspect his racist followers are hearing every "stupid mistake" though.

[brush]

17. Still a moron. Still the dim son.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. Hey, it happens

It happens if the speaker is ignorant of history, has little or no imagination for metaphors, too stupid to add up connections, and too arrogant to monitor one's own speech.

Any one or more of the above, ... and then wham it happens.

[GiqueCee]

23. Wait... SWINGING?!!?

And "IN SPADES?!!?" Sweet Jesus on a pogo stick, can this fool get any stupider and still tie his own shoes?

[japple]

26. I thought Eric was in training to replace Ivanka who has "mysteriously" disappeared

from the family. Daddy knows he can't count on any of the others to be as valuable to him as Ivanka.

[Warpy]

27. Looks like he swapped feet at least three times in that one

It might be a record, even for him.

[Aussie105]

29. . . . and from a great height of White Boy superiority . . .

This White Boy tells the 'swinging spades' how to think and how to vote!

I'm sure the intended audience will hear and obey.

Reminds me of a long ago slip of the mouth . . . 1980's or thereabouts.

Australian interviewer, talking to Muhammad Ali at the time . . .some verbal banter, Muhammad plays along, white commentator says . . .
"That's my boy!"

Instant rage from Muhammad Ali . . . poor choice of words, interviewer!

[Abstractartist]

31. Hmmmm

Eric, you are a spooge, and your POS father is a 34 count guilty felon, so 🖕🏻

[Bundbuster]

32. Like Daddy like Gums

[Efilroft Sul]

33. Eric's next attempt at persuading Black voters is addressing them as "You people."

[Think. Again.]

35. That one's probably too obvious...

...he'll just keep using dogwhistles that even DUers are willing to excuse as dumb mistakes, but always hit the target with his white supremist followers.
