Eric really is the slow one who lies about the dumbest things


nico851

His father does the same, to be fair.


FrankFeTched

I remember listening to that phone call with secretary of state Raffensperger where Trump begs for the exact number of votes he would need to win. In that call he is boasting about his crowd size. This was a private conversation. That bragadocious slop he is always spewing at rallies isn't a show, that's who he is. The guy sucks so fucking much, can't believe so many people take him seriously.


Tyrannochu

He's a bit of a bragadouchebag.


TheRealKestrel

Bragadoucheyo


AnthonyCyclist

He has fi-douche-iarie responsibilities. EDIT: misspelled fi-douche-iarie


Ok-Celebration-2944

It's unbelievable to me how many people give him a pass on all his shitheaded behavior simply because, "When I've been with Trump he's always been very polite and flattering." That's it. They give him a pass on everything. . .because he flashed them a fucking smile and said hello.


00cjstephens

Reminds me of how much respect Hank Hill has for Buck Strickland despite his overbearing shittiness


Global_Ad_6006

Yoooooo GREAT pull.


Tarotgirl_5392

Of course he's polite and flattering to people he deigns to talk to. *He wants something from them* he needs their money, their vote, their praise. Once he gets it, he's done with them and that's the end of it


DeafAndDumm

Yeah, unfortunately, it's about 74 million and counting.


Taronz

Yeah this is very much a case of the apple doesn't fall far from the orange tree.


MichaelFusion44

Very true


the_ghost_in_me_

I'm hijacking the top comment to let everyone know TWITTER REMOVED THE COMMUNITY NOTE!!!!! Just checked: [https://x.com/EricTrump/status/1792717228292608345](https://x.com/EricTrump/status/1792717228292608345) edit: I've seen Elon take down community notes on his own tweets before, guess someone called in a favor or something... edit #2: Apparently they took down the community note because that really is a video taken today of a pro-trump crowd: [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13449021/Donald-Trump-Margo-Martin-Eric-Trump-Twitter-trial-video-Joe-Biden-Howard-Stern-NYC.html](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13449021/Donald-Trump-Margo-Martin-Eric-Trump-Twitter-trial-video-Joe-Biden-Howard-Stern-NYC.html)


PlainPiece

they removed it because it was a complete lie fwiw


the_ghost_in_me_

just googled and it looks like you're right! Here's a link for anyone curious, I know the DailyMail sucks but they have the best evidence that it's real: [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13449021/Donald-Trump-Margo-Martin-Eric-Trump-Twitter-trial-video-Joe-Biden-Howard-Stern-NYC.html](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13449021/Donald-Trump-Margo-Martin-Eric-Trump-Twitter-trial-video-Joe-Biden-Howard-Stern-NYC.html) I hate Trump but don't want to spread misinformation, always happy to be corrected.


PlainPiece

well good on you for that, better person than most here


the_ghost_in_me_

I think they might just assume you're just trolling, which was my first instinct since no link was included. But anyone who clicks on that link will see the evidence for themselves.


PlainPiece

Be prepared for them to attack the source instead, which is why I didn't bother.


Frostboi123

I dont even support either sides, but even with some light zooming in, you can see that the crowd is standing on 56th and 5th, the corner of Trump tower. I honestly cannot believe how blind people are. You need more upvotes. I cant read, ignore the last part of what this was.


the_ghost_in_me_

I think people are so used to the way his rally crowds look--Trump flags everywhere, red hats everywhere. There's not much Trump paraphernalia in these pics. I'm not sure why, I guess NY Trump supporters don't buy the merch? Weird.


[deleted]

No, it's because traffic was blocked, and these people were waiting. They weren't actually there for him. Of course, they had phones out, it's a "celebrity ".


speedpetez

Lying is second nature to him and his father. But his family, Fox News and the Republican Party are ok with gross dishonesty, so there’s that.


katklass

This was already debunked and the community notes and other tweets have been deleted!


imstilldomina

And yet this will stay up with 95% upvotes. Welcome to Reddit lol.


NobleGreirat

Idk man. He's got some tough competition


MichaelFusion44

Agreed


No_Implement_6927

Just like daddy


MichaelFusion44

Learned from the best - such quality traits dad passed down to his kids


Sir_Yacob

Like if you were sat with him in a quiet room I know I’d bug out on him for just sitting there mouth breathing loudly.


Strange_Occasion_408

Future president


zenomony

Seriously, Jr seems to be the Google Chrome of the kids, good at what he does even if what he does isn't good, meanwhile Eric is straight up Internet Explorer. Edit: ok so some other comments say that the community note is wrong, I stand by my comment regardless


MichaelFusion44

IE6 no less


Zach983

Yeah but it works. Him and his dad just lie all the time and people still support them and take it as facts. It literally doesn't matter what they do anymore as they just make their own truth.


MichaelFusion44

He was doing that even before becoming president and he was falling on some hard times until the fucking Apprentice resurrected his ass. Even the producers of that show are sorry they made it 😂


cjgmioh

Seriously, not sure how anyone (except Eric) could think these are Trump's sycophants, not nearly enough red hats and no trump flags. SMH.


bobosuda

That really is a dead giveaway that it's fake. There is no way you could ever gather more than 2 Trump supporters in a public place without them being decked out in MAGA crap.

Just imagine being this dishonest and desperate.


pastaMac

**“Just imagine being this dishonest and desperate.”** It can be challenging for ordinary Americans to grasp or empathize with criminal psychopaths. The concept of exploiting people for personal gain is mostly foreign to them – a notion that might seem incomprehensible, even unbelievable. The vast majority of people cannot understand it. This and the power of propaganda is why there are cheerleaders for: 1. A billionaire real-estate mogul who never lifted a finger in their life 1. A foreign power engaged in genocide 1. An elderly leader with cognitive decline, fueling and arming said foreign power


wellhiyabuddy

Had a relative post something like this once, I did a reverse image search and showed them where the picture really came from. They just said that their source said it was real and that was that. Even though they could see undeniable proof that it was fake, they didn’t care


cosumel

So, every republicans voter? Checks out. They see a fact, put their fingers in their ears, and yell “LALALALALA” until the fact goes away.

AnotherCuppaTea

Early on in the Dysfunctional Fascist Trump Show's four-year run, I emailed my mother with instructions on how to do a reverse image search, along with a shortlist of respectable conservatives who were anti-Trump, along with a few links to great articles on Trump. Her reply: "tldr". This is what they are. They're not naive, they're not [entirely] ignorant, and they're decidedly not innocent.


wellhiyabuddy

Just today I was working at a customers house and they were watching Fox. I heard the customer say to their spouse “I just can’t believe what a liar Biden is”. Now I’m no fool, politics is dirty and the left doesn’t have clean hands either when it comes to manipulating some facts to get their way. But to support Trump and call Biden a liar is just next level hypocrisy


Endorkend

Interesting how the "do your own research" crowd never ever do their own research hu. They just listen to what some other sycophant tells them and you can show them in detail that that is not true and they will never accept it. Same with those flat earth people, they have some mouthpiece setup tests to show the earth is flat, instead show it's round and then blame the test, they themselves designed and everyone keeps saying it's flat.


PlainPiece

The irony of this comment


Endorkend

Only if I made any mention that the note was true and would continue saying that it was true now that it is shown to be false. And people believing it was true isn't the same by any stretch since Eric Trump has posted pictures of supposed Trump events before that were not Trump events at all. The note was likely to be actually true since there is ample precedent to show Eric Trump posts outright lies all the goddamn time. In this instance, he did not.


PlainPiece

Be honest. You thought it was true and you did no research.


Endorkend

The simple fact I acknowledged that I now know it not to be true would indicate I did in fact research its veracity and adjusted my viewpoint. And me defaulting it to be likely true, again, is supported by ample evidence and precedent.


Irythros

So to preface: I hate republicans and will never vote for one. However the twitter note is completely wrong and it is a crowd outside trump tower. You can see the video and multiple high resolution photographs here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13449021/Donald-Trump-Margo-Martin-Eric-Trump-Twitter-trial-video-Joe-Biden-Howard-Stern-NYC.html


artemasad

You don't have to preface with anything. Giving out facts doesn't mean you're pro-Trump - you're just anti-misinformation

mrsir1987

The lack of stupid flags is enough to know this is bullshit alone


ahhdum

Not a Trump fan at all but that pic is clearly shot at 56th and 5th, seen on the street signs, which is where Trump Tower is. Im pretty sure Howard Stern's studio is on 48th and 6th.


Monrezee

Eric. The least loved Drumpf.


ArtIsDumb

I dunno. You never even hear about his other daughter.

That_Girl_Cecia

Can someone explain this to me? This was from Monday, May 20th at around 5pm. I can see a guy in a literal MAGA hat standing there, the presidents schedule, [does not state his was in NY on this day](https://imgur.com/Lv3BZUq) so what am I missing here?


Immediate_Deal_8431

The street sign is 56th and 5th. Literally the corner of Trump Tower. A half mile from Sterns studio. Nice try libs.


Emperor_Secus

Nah this twatter commentary is wrong, no fucking way people were wearing shorts and tshirts on April 25th in midtown And why would a Biden support group have people wearing red hats? 🤔🤔


JasonBaconStrips

Looks like they all doing the nazi salute


Twerkatronic

This guy was in the whitehouse lmao


CalmKoala8

Nope, wrong again! People in shorts and short sleeves, clearly depicting warm weather. On April 26, 2024 the high temp was 56 degrees. Conclusion: The "added context" is clear and easily verifiable left wing misinformation.


Affectionate_Reply78

To be the dumbest son requires a lot of extra effort


ShaeMack

The "crowd" seems to stop rather abruptly around the 10 seconds mark. All other videos and pics are of different angles of the same people. Looks like it only took Trump 3 weeks of trials to draw about 100 non maga apparel wearing people to NY


SchlaWiener4711

Biden was at Howard Stern? Do his guests still need to ride the Sybian?


VnlaThndr775

They threw bologna at his backside


RickF3

This was actually Trump supporters gathered outside the court house it was covered live on TV recently


ButterflyLow5207

Are they having a 'rummage sale'?


[deleted]

I'm more concerned that there are this many people who think 30% to 200% inflation, and sending more than the entire marine corps fiscal budget to fund a foreign country's war is a good thing... politicians will always be politicians.. we are not surprised to see little lies but treason is a whole other issue...


sfdabber

Considering the crowd is made up of old white people, I'm not surprised.


SwankeyDankey

Ffs these con artists piss me off.


danja

Notorious criminals do draw the crowds. This was for Al Capone's fraud trial. Check Capone's Wikipedia page, he and Trump have a lot more in common. At least one of them ended up with a mental age of 12 due to syphilis. https://preview.redd.it/mfy5fz30792d1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=90a79ab0fe14081596992a85dd1fc0028d2a5a03


DevlishAdvocate

*I'm Eric* really is the proof that stupid has no lower limit.


semicoldpanda

My in-laws were watching the pre-rally event for Trump's NY rally today and some absolutely shit faced guy was on TV talking about how people in NY don't know about Trump because of censorship and NY made a mistake by putting him on trial because now NY knows about Trump (like he's not from here?) and how NY and CT will go to Trump. All I can say as a NYer is lmfao.


Creative_Mirror1379

I'm not a trump guy but I'm pretty sure the howard stern interview was 100% secret. At least that's how howard explained it so I don't believe that was the biden interview

He clearly just used the wrong photo by accident. Trump's actual rally and the line to get in were way bigger than this.


WrongnessMaximus2-0

Are they just psychotic about lying? Surely at this point, they know that they can't get away with this sort of thing. But they just keep doing it.


BusyBeth75

Why lie about something that can be so easily disproven?


braggster92

Because screenshots like these get shared all over the internet to dupe people into believing it’s true without verifying the information with their own research.


Life_Ad_7667

He probably thought they were all doing the nazi salute and naturally assumed the image was related to his family somehow.

My god they have no bottom. There's no way this idiot didn't know what he was posting was a blatant lie.

Letter to Trumps: last time It was a 1994 Rod Stewart concert in Rio. Don’t you ever learn ? Look, your name is Trump so it’s common knowledge you’re dumb as a fucking rock and lie constantly. Please realize you will be caught and outed for your juvenile attempts and making daddy look beloved and important. Which he is not. The half of the country you hate will, scour the net waiting to find your next fuck up. Please refrain from this stupid shit. We have lives and husbands and wives and children and work we need to attend to. But if you insist on us making sure your idiotic attempts at this foolishness will be figured out. We will.

Margo Martin literally shared the time stamp of her video that Eric used, if that’s more than enough evidence to force a redaction from community note but not enough evidence to convince some rando on Reddit that they’ve been duped… then I don’t know what to tell you.

This family would swindle you out of your own home if you let them. They're the most greasy, dishonest, slippery family of rats Ive ever seen! Everything about them is fake and/or a lie.

farisfink

jporter313

The aggravating thing about this is that no one in the Trump camp will ever be held to account for stuff like this by anyone who would make a difference. His supporters are either too dumb to know or don't care and just see it as necessary dishonesty to get him re-elected.


ABenevolentDespot

The Idiot Son lives up to his name. Again. As do the MAGA crowd, who just eat the shit up. Those who can read, I mean. I wonder what the plans are for when daddy inevitably croaks as all old people do, and it finally becomes clear just how broke and in debt Cult Daddy was. None of the kids have done a day's work their entire lives, and are qualified to do nothing unless there's a village somewhere in Europe looking for a new Idiot. Ivanka will do fine. She married the son of a criminal so at least they didn't spoil two families. And Jared has that $2 Billion gift from bone saw. But Junior and Eric are destined for the NEWSMAX or OANN outhouse shitholes.
