Donald Trump’s second son Eric Trump has weighed in on many issues related to his father more than before. Taking to Twitter to boast about the president’s results in the latest Michigan primary, he was mocked by users as a response.
As the results of the Democratic primaries roll in, all of which seem to lean towards former vice president Joe Biden’s favor, Eric took to Twitter to boast his father’s numbers during the Republican primaries as well. Eric also drew comparisons to former President Barack Obama regarding the numbers in the Michigan primary during their respective campaign years. “With 99% reporting in Michigan, Donald Trump has 637,000+ votes, absolutely crushing previous Republican and Democrat incumbents...By comparison, Obama had 174K votes in 2012,” tweeted Eric.
Many users were quick to comment on his tweet. One user pointed out that the Democrats voted 2:1 over Trump. “Democrats cast more than 1,500,000 votes … dud that’s 2:1” they tweeted. Other users said that Trump can never live up to his predecessor while another said that Trump only won because he was running unopposed.
It was recently reported by the New York Times that Donald Trump’s campaign manager Brad Parscale, was quietly making payments to Eric’s wife, Lara Trump, and Donald Trump Jr.’s girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle. These payments to Lara and Kimberly were hidden from public knowledge until today because the payments were made through Parscale’s San Antonio-based company, Parscale Strategy. Payments like these usually were documented and filed as mandated by the Federal Election Commission so donors from the fundraisers will know where the money is going and in this instance, it is going to Donald’s daughter-in-law and Don Jr.’s girlfriend.
This is linked to a network of private companies that are all politically-connected with the help of Trump’s son-in-law and White House advisor Jared Kushner. These companies have charged the Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee, and other Republican clients around $75 million since Trump took over office in 2017.
Although Parscale declined to comment on any of the details, he has previously stated that private companies are more flexible when it comes to campaigns.
