Eric Trump Goes Off the Rails (again): Like Father like Son and Same Corrupt DNA

Eric Trump on Business Trip to Uruguay at Taxpayers’ Expense 

Eric Trump: The Interrogation Expert (right – wow…)

“Hang in there, Pop. No, no, not hang yourself. Stay on point”

First this series of tidbits re: Trump sons travel on business (not government business) is costly and complicated – here from NPR, and here from CBS, and here from Newsweek.

Highlights:

From Newsweek:  Whereas Obama spent close to $12.1 million annually in travel costs, Trump may have already doubled that benchmark on trips to Mar-A-Lago alone before the close of his first 100 days. But getting the new president from point A to point B isn’t the only expenditure raising eyebrows: the price tag that comes with the new first family is quickly becoming equally concerning to Trump’s opponents and supporters alike.

From CBS:  Eric Trump will have gone to four countries on Trump company business since January 1st, each with Secret Service agents in tow. In early January, it was a trip to Uruguay for a glitzy party to promote a new property, with a reported $100,000 in hotel bills for Secret Service and other U.S. government personnel.

From NPR:  In early January, Eric Trump took a trip to Uruguay to check progress on an unfinished Trump tower. About a month later, he was in the Dominican Republic, seeing whether an earlier resort project could be revived. He joined his brother, Donald Jr., a couple of weeks later at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a Trump-branded golf course in Dubai. Then the two popped up earlier last week in Vancouver, Canada, for the opening of a new Trump hotel.

Since Trump became president, his sons' business travel has become much more complicated and expensive, especially when the travel is overseas, says Brendan Doherty, a U.S. Naval Academy professor who has tracked presidential travel for more than a decade. He says the president's sons are guaranteed round-the-clock Secret Service protection. Overseas trips usually involve coordination with local security forces, and often, U.S. embassies.

Now to the main story for today. Eric Trump gives us a medical assessment about his father here in this story, in part. Stunning to say the least:

Eric fought back criticism of the president's racist behavior by saying the president couldn't possibly be racist, because he hired people of color.

He also espoused the belief that the “government” of the U.S. wants Trump to fail.

The interview went further off the rails as Eric either made a cavalier suicide quip or was informing the world that suicidal ideation (a concept) is a standard response to scrutiny in his family. 

“If they weren’t talking about you, you wouldn’t be doing something right and it’s important to keep it in context. Otherwise, quite frankly, you’d probably end up killing yourself out of depression,” he concluded.

Wow – no, double wow…!!! Amazing stuff, isn’t it?

My B/L for sure: The Trump’s treat government as their personal ATM – that is patently obvious. And suicide as a concept for them due to criticism they do not like? Wow again.

Thanks for stopping by.
