Eric Trump suggests he could run for president when his father's term ends

[groundloop]

Source: The Guardian

Eric Trump has hinted that he or another of the Trump family could run for president when his father’s second term in the White House comes to an end.

Eric, who is co-executive vice-president of the Trump Organization, said, the road to the White House “would be an easy one” if he decided to follow in his father’s footsteps.

In an interview with the Financial Times, he said: “The real question is: ‘Do you want to drag other members of your family into it?… Would I want my kids to live the same experience over the last decade that I’ve lived?

“You know, if the answer was yes, I think the political path would be an easy one, meaning, I think I could do it,” he added. “And by the way, I think other members of our family could do it too.”

1. Dumb and Dumber

I think Americans will be more than happy to see the end of any trump in office.

[AntiFascist]

41. Exactly! n/t

[brush]

53. Yep, Gums is an idiot, and so is his brother Jr.

The nation has had enough of any trump anywhere near the WH.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. This might turn into a pissing contest.

I was under the distinct impression that his brother, Donnie Jr., wanted to run for President after TSF.

[surfered]

3. Delusions of a nepo baby

[karynnj]

4. So a man who is not allowed to be on the board of a foundation wants to be President

Stealing money given for kids with cancer is not a political plus.

[republianmushroom]

7. Well the GOP is not to fussy about character.

As we have seen and are experiencing with the convicted felon. They have dropped their family values, law and order party and fiscal responsibility, to a new low, so yes it could happen, I guess.

[3catwoman3]

35. "Well the GOP is not too fussy about character."

Or skill set. Or relevant experience.

[Kali999]

46. It worked for Frisk

Millions in medicare theft. Oh Rick Scott too

[Journeyman]

5. He should compare notes with George P. Bush about familial political dynasties . . .

[Dan]

6. A monkey plans to run for President

He’s not the first, you see,
His Daddy is a monkey,
Same as he will be.

[Nigrum Cattus]

8. Sure he could but -

it's Eric !

[ForgoTheConsequence]

9. Your dad wouldn't vote for you Eric.

You're the biggest dipshit in a genepool of dipshits.

[not fooled]

10. Oh, but think of what the late-night comics and SNL

could do with an ET candidacy. Hilarity ensues.

[FailureToCommunicate]

11. Here's his first campaign poster...

29. I think it's both of them. Nt

[BonnieJW]

50. It is

[rsdsharp]

54. It is now. The original photo was of Junior holding an elephant tail.

[mdbl]

49. Great - kill an endangered animal

Shitheads.

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. ...

[NEOBuckeye]

13. FUCK THAT

And fuck him too. Fuck his dad, and fuck that entire family of degenerates.

[northoftheborder]

14. NO NO A MILLION TIMES NO

[hay rick]

15. If feeling sorry for yourself is a qualification, Eric qualifies.

He appears to be 2 or 3 IQ points north of the Stable Genius and that' could be a problem for him.

[Cheezoholic]

17. We need to call Trumpinex ;) n/t

[GB_RN]

18. Bwahahahahahahahahaha!

And Mary Trump says Junior is the dumbest one! 😂🤣😂🤣

[lastlib]

19. I suggest he should run for something else....

...his life!

[JoseBalow]

20. Well, if the current dipshit could do it, anything is possible

[electric_blue68]

21. -ahem- BAAAAHAHAHAAAAAAaaaaa....

Oh, just shut up, gums!

[twodogsbarking]

22. He's definitely stupid enough. Should fit right in.

[3Hotdogs]

23. I thought they were gonna send Fredo to Iran to take over when the regime change happens.

Kinda when the original Fredo was sent to Lost Wages where he couldn't fuck up too much.

[Marie Marie]

25. I want to ROFLMAO but then I remembered that

I did just that when Daddy announced on the escalator. And here we are. So I guess I will just shudder in abject fear of the stupidity of the
American voters.

[wcmagumba]

26. Only one thing to say, Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

[marble falls]

27. I hope he blows his entire allowence of his "run". Hopefully he gets on the up escalator when he declares.

[Dave Bowman]

28. Dream on, moron.

[riversedge]

30. The Trumpsters such have hight opinions of themselves!!

.........“You know, if the answer was yes, I think the political path would be an easy one, meaning, I think I could do it,” he added. “And by the way, I think other members of our family could do it too.”

[Hey Joe]

31. Not a chance gums

Not a chance in hell does this fuckwit have of being president.
The high expectations of a low IQ nepo-baby .

[Paladin]

32. You know, there was a time when I would have laughed at this news.

There was a time when I would have thought that this nation, for all its flaws, would never dream of putting the likes of Eric Trump in the White House.

But consider where things stand, right now.

donald trump managed to secure the presidency for a second time, and he and his designated goons are busy shitting on virtually every decent aspect of this country. God help us---anything is possible.

[CloudWatcher]

37. Re the nation "putting" Eric into office ....

Note the difference between the nation putting Eric into office and Eric being put into office.

The way things are going, TSF could install any random chimp as his successor. Actually the oligarchs might prefer someone that doesn't even pretend to think or be able to speak English and just scribbles on the executive orders put in front of him.

[Sailingdiver]

33. Of course he can run

Goofy bastard will get a few cult votes but nothing close to elected.

It'll be fun to watch the delusional support this clown.

[LittleGirl]

34. Please do run!

I will revel in the enormous defeat.

[Turbineguy]

36. It would be a reasonable expectation

But what if he's not dumb enough to qualify?

[truthisfreedom]

38. Calling Stephen Colbert!

This is comedy writing itself!

[BHDem53]

39. Gum and gummer.

[nwduke]

40. Bwaaahaaahaaa

(Catching my breath) Bwaaahaaahaaa🤪😂🤣🤪

[DavidDvorkin]

42. Of course he could

Anyone can run for president.

Hell, I could run for president, even though no one knows who I am, no one would notice that I was running, and I'm a naturalized citizen and therefore can't serve as president anyway. But I could still run.

So could you!

No, not you. I meant you. The other you.

[Dem2theMax]

43. The only correct response to this -

[ificandream]

44. You think we have a dumbass president now wait until Eric or Junior run ....

Dumb And Dumber ...

[ificandream]

45. I hope some future Congress ...

... will require passing an intelligence test to run for president. You know this one won't (and the repubs couldn't pass it anyway). But certainly Eric or Junior wouldn't pass (unless they cheat).

[lucca18]

47. That's the funniest thing I heard all day!

I needed a laugh today.
Thanks Eric, you really believe your own BS!
😀🤮

[Rebl2]

48. 🙄😂🤣😂

🙄🙄🙄

[marble falls]

51. Like he could even get a job at a McDonalds TACO didn't own.

[BOSSHOG]

52. Co Executive Vice President

Dude!

As I remember a grizzly old Master Chief telling this Boot Chief, “give yourself a title.” Man I never thought of that one..

[sakabatou]

55. AFAIK, there's nothing stopping him from running

[Faux pas]

56. Yeah Sure Ya Betcha

Beavis

[Norrrm]

57. Oh, absolutely! Please do! Please do! I'll even buy some Trump dollars to donate to you.

I recommend Pillow Guy for your VP.

[Vogon_Glory]

58. Doubt it, Eric role-playing Ferdinand Marco won't work

Ferdinand Marcos the elder had a prosperous growing economy Philippines remembered.

Orange Julius is not like to bequeath such a legacy. Eric’s attempt to play Bong-Bong will run into the memory of his Dad’s chaos

[LudwigPastorius]

59. Eric needs some TP.

[Karasu]

60. I really, really want to laugh my ass off at this. But I can't. Nothing is too stupid for this country anymore.

61. Let him try.

He has none of his father's salesmanship or ability to sway a crowd. He's creepy and gross!
