Deleted Tweet From Eric Trump Hints He May Have Known About Strike Against Iranian Military Leader Days Ahead Of Time
BY CHRIS WALKER January 3, 2020


Eric Trump is not a member of the Trump administration, and helps his brother, Donald Trump Jr., with operations of the Trump Organization. His knowledge of an impending attack against a foreign leader would be a breach of security protocols, and highly unusual.

with it's regulations. He uses a non-gov. cell phone to call his buds in Ukraine! They talk at the table where several others are hesaring the phone call. DT discusses confidential info with Russian visitor by talking about the location of our submarines! I'm sure his kids know all kind of confidential info. The entire security group has to be insane over his lack of responsiblilty!

I wonder if this was a topic of conversation at the New Years Eve party. (The time on the tweet is 3:44pm, so afternoon, but I can't believe that family would keep their mouths shut at a party of their friends. I can see them wanting to impress with some 'inside secrets')

is against defenseless animals, preferably endangered.


Just when I thought this POS family couldn't go any lower. He couldn't hold it in that he knew a big secret.

Talk about a security risk.

Iran can, and probably will, close the Strait of Hormuz. Then what moron? Trump can't think clearly one level let alone 3 or 4 levels. Even the Pentagon is distancing themselves from this attack by pointedly saying it was carried out at the direction of President Trump. That sounds like pushback that failed to convince the dimwitted Trump the consequence of such an action. What an unfortunate way to deflect from impeachment. And you can be sure that impeachment is behind this reckless decision.

Actually, I'm sure that he doesn't. No one in that family should have one, Spanky included.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if damn near everyone at the Mar-a-Lago New Year's Eve party knew as well. It would be totally fitting with the orange turd's character to go around a party of hangers on bragging about what he was about to do.

even though they spent weeks trying to find out who in the State Department liked a Chelsea Clinton tweet: https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumpworlds-wild-hunt-who-liked-a-chelsea-clinton-tweet?ref=home

But since everyone will assume the Bag of Pus boasted about it to his spawn to try and look strong (or as others say, so he could trade on insider knowledge), they won't dare.

The assassination of Soleimani was equivalent in Iran to something like the assassination of Barack Obama or some beloved leader in this country, to help with perspective.
