Eric Trump Tells Fox News Dad Was Having ‘Fun’ Hailing Assault On Reporter
“This is exactly why my father won,” said President Donald Trump’s second son.

“He wasn’t the guy that body-slammed anybody,” the younger Trump said of his dad. “He can have fun. By the way, this is exactly why my father won.”

President Donald Trump, however, praised Gianforte’s actions during a rally in Missoula on Thursday. “Any guy that can do a body slam, he’s my kind of guy,” Trump told the crowd, adding that he’d correctly believed the attack would help Gianforte win the special election to fill Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke’s seat.

Trump’s comments drew condemnation from The Guardian, other journalists, U.S. lawmakers, a spokesman for Britain’s prime minister and people on Twitter. The president was already facing criticism for failing to speak out against the Saudis for their role in Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi’s disappearance. The Saudi government now says that Khashoggi was killed inside its consulate in Istanbul early this month during a physical altercation.

Eric Trump told Fox News his dad became president because of the way he talks. “So many people were so sick and tired of the little caged, the perfect, the perfectly scripted politician who memorized their little sound bite ... they weren’t any fun, and they had no charisma, they had no personality,” he said.

1. Heaven help us all, this Presidency looks more like WWE every day. Charisma, my ass.

[marble falls]

3. Charisma? He meant chutzpah!

[olegramps]

4. The entire family is nothing but trash. Immoral scum of the earth. The dregs of mankind.

They have bought their way through life with payoffs to crooked politicians, judges and prosecutors. Trump even buys his women who are little more than so-called high class whores i.e., expensive better looking sluts. That includes Malaria, the bought and paid for most recent palace resident slut.

2. Your dad has "fun" at others' expense ALL THE TIME, Eric.

I’m sorry that he tortured you and your siblings with his “fun” as you were growing up. We, on the other hand, don’t have to put up with his bullshit. WE’RE COGNIZANT ADULTS.

[yardwork]

5. Attacking journalists is fun. Murdering them is even more fun.

Dismembering journalists while they're still alive is the ultimate in fun for Trump.

[The Animator]

6. I would gladly bodyslam that smug little prick...

... but that would make me trump’s kind of guy (throws up in mouth a little)

[Paladin]

7. Fuck you, fredo.

[BlueStater]

10. Actually, Fredo's the other moron.

Donny Douchebag Jr.

[Paladin]

13. They're interchangeable, as far as I'm concerned.

Just parts of the trump crime empire.

[marble falls]

16. They're both Fredo. There's no Sonny/Sonny's dead. The son in law is Michael as an anemic.

[magicarpet]

8. Do they have action videos on sale at the trDump Nazi Rallies...

... showing Khashoggi getting chopped and diced with a bone saw as he screams and fights for his life while held down by 15 assassins ?

These Fascists are mentally deranged and very sick in the head.

[William Seger]

9. "this is exactly why my father won"

Yes, and that's just one reason why decent people think he's a turd and are appalled at his adoring cult.

[Progressive Jones]

19. The bottom feeders needed a hero. The unimpressive are impressed by Trump. nt

[Ilsa]

26. Exactly. Trump appealled to the base-est of humanity.

They like their personal weapons of violence, too, which they promote at their rallies. They feel represented, finally, by another bully, someone they measure as "strong" based on big talk, nasty words.

[karin_sj]

11. Effing moron

This entire trashy, stupid family is a blight on our country

[forgotmylogin]

12. Bullies consistently have "fun" at the expense of others. (n/t)

[Iggo]

14. Oh, honey. We know.

I know you don't understand because you weren't taught any better, but that's what makes him a bad person.

There there, Eric.

[muriel_volestrangler]

15. Because Trump, Don and Eric, are psychopaths. So are the deplorables who cheered.

What the past three years has shown is that there are a lot more psychopaths in the USA than people realised. Enough to elect one.

[Cha]

17. Yeah, Stupid Ass dad having a bit of fun..

[marble falls]

18. Classic bully.

[D_Master81]

20. What these idiots have never grasped is

It doesnt matter if he was being serious or not! They seem to forget that he's not "Don" some guy hanging out with his drinking buddies on a Saturday night yuking it up at the bar, that he's the President. When you're the President everything you say gets inflated. Listen a majority of people hearing that may realize he was screwing around and having fun, but what about the parts of the cult that think he's being serious? How do they take this? These are the same people that love him trashing the media not realizing that someone has already and will probably get killed because of what he's riling up.

[marble falls]

22. oops. See comment 21!

[marble falls]

21. That's exactly the point: they are culpable because they give permission to ...

the perpetrators.

[riversedge]

23. The Trump family makes me sick.

[marble falls]

24. Its turned into a plague.
