Presidential son and future Russian vaccine test patient Eric Trump (… ’cause, c’mon, you don’t think Dad will risk Ivanka taking it, do you?) went on “Fox & Friends” this morning to tout his father’s booming economy with only 963,000 people applying for first time unemployment claims last week.
Saying that “the economy is raging back as you can see in virtually every economic number,” Eric claimed that Democrats–who passed a coronavirus relief bill back in May only to have it stonewalled by the republican Senate–were holding up aid to families for political reasons.
“Brian, I mean, y’know, tha-, tha-, tha-, that, that’s what it, all Americans can see. I mean, she’s a phony. Chuck Schumer’s a phony and, y’know, Brian, these people have never actually signed checks in their life. They’ve been dependent on the U.S. government their entire adult lives.
“And by the way, look at the lives that they, they live. I mean, they’re, they’re pretty lavish. They’ve never worked a job in real industry. I mean, they don’t, they don’t care,” Eric stated without an ounce of self-awareness.
Eric didn’t address, nor was he asked, about the checks his father signed to silence women he’s had affairs with or the number of contractors his company has failed to pay.
Earlier in the interview, Brian Kilmeade made a point that many economists predicted last week’s first time unemployment claims would top one million, but it came in just short of that. In Kilmeade’s explanation, this means that people are going back, when in fact, it means nearly a million people lost jobs.
