In reply to the discussion: Oh my! Eric trump... another foot in mouth.... [View all]sheshe2
(97,654 posts)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.

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

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

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

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