CHICAGO (AP) President Donald Trump's son Eric Trump says the U.S. Secret Service took an employee of a Chicago cocktail lounge into custody after she spit on him.
Eric Trump told Breitbart News in a telephone interview that it was "purely a disgusting act by somebody who clearly has emotional problems."
His comments came after reports of the alleged spitting incident Tuesday night at The Aviary in Chicago's West Loop area. The Associated Press sent an email Wednesday seeking comment on behalf of the lounge.
Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi (goo-lee-EHL'-mee) said on Twitter that officers assisted the Secret Service with a "law enforcement matter" and deferred inquiries to the agency.

Hope someone sets up a gofundme for her legal fees.
To Erik, welcome to a tiny drop of reality, may you experience many more opportunities to explore this realm. I wonder if his order was a little salty.

(9,426 posts)should stick to attending their tRump hotels. Going out in public results in REAL people voicing their opinions. I hope there is a Go Fund Me account set up for the hard working waitress. Unlike the tRumps, the waitress likely does not have a daddy who pays her bills from donations to his re-election campaign funds.

Welcome to your future buddy. You and your ugly family are going to be subjected to a whole lot more of this for the rest of your life.

The less we see of them, the better.
Thank you to the waitress who did her part to get that message across.

(11,567 posts)I would imagine the same happens for his other family members. No doubt, this is part of the reason for Trumps love of fast food, since its already prepared and visible.

(7,596 posts)Not doing so would, like you said, make him at risk for not only someone contaminating his food with spit or some other disgusting thing, but also of him being murdered as well via the food being poisoned.

I would rather have the money spent on the kids at the border.

(63,221 posts)Because that would really piss me off! In fact, it pisses me off that they get it now. They are ADULT children! Have we ever paid for a president's adult children to have secret service protection?

(180 posts)We need to have the FBI look into this, and investigate carefully to find out who did this. Then we should all buy that person a drink so they can spit more.

(34,111 posts)He ain't seen nothing yet. Does he not worry about every piece of food he eats or every drink he drinks? No wonder Daddy eats like he does. After years of being "the very best" he found out that people don't share those feelings? I wonder how many many meals Daddy had with a coating of spit or other things in his food.
If I were a Trump kid and not out telling the world how cruel and full of shit my old man is I would never leave the house.
How come it is still safer for this ass to be out in public than it is for a brown skinned citizen to be near our border?

(9,118 posts)My nineteenth-century WASP ancestors would have been astonished at how meekly Democrats and progressives would have behaved in the face of habitual right-Wing conduct. They would have gotten rougher at least two years earlier.
EDIT: These were people who tarred and feathered. These were people who burned figures in effigy. These were people who had big parades with band music to show their displeasure. These were people who threw dead cats and rotten vegetables when they were riled up.
Widdle Eric has been extraordinarily lucky this far.
