Eric Trump says the presidency has cost his dad an arm and a leg combating the forces out to get him — and that he doesn’t really need the headache … music to many people’s ears.
The President’s son — who helps heads up at the Trump Organization — was on ABC Sunday morning and asked about a new NYT report suggesting Trump engaged in several alleged pay-for-play deals with private companies, special interest groups and even foreign governments who patronized his hotels and resorts in exchange for lucrative contracts granted by Uncle Sam — supposedly, to return the favor on Trump’s behalf.
Rather than respond to the allegations, Eric went on an off-topic tirade … repeating talking points from his father and accusing ABC, the Dems and the NYT of sabotaging DT. But, he also revealed Trump’s apparently been bleeding money over these 4 years in office.
Eric said something else noteworthy … “the last thing … Donald Trump needs in the world is this job,” going on to say that he sticks it out because it’s the “right” thing to do for America.
When pressed on the actual story he was supposed to be responding to, ET eventually offered an answer … saying millions of people stay at their hotels and properties each year, and that the NYT is “fake news.” The interview was cut short quickly afterward.
On the issue of Trump not needing this gig … a lot of folks might simply reply, “Good, GTFO.” The door’s always open!
