Trust baby Eric Trump says Pelosi and Schumer "never signed checks and live lavish lives."

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/08/they-never-worked-a-job-eric-trump-s-pelosi-and-schumer-for-leading-lavish-lives/

Irony is so dead. Also manages a lame attack on Kamala Harris, calling her a "unicorn." Whoa, got more Eric?

Eric Trump, the son of President Donald Trump, on Thursday slammed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for leading “lavish” lives.

During a Fox & Friends segment, host Brian Kilmeade suggested that weekly unemployment claims had fallen below 1 million for the first time in five months because the federal government was not able to extend jobless benefits for those impacted by COVID-19.

Eric Trump suggested that Pelosi is a hypocrite because she supported a temporary payroll tax deferment in 2012 but opposes similar action taken by the president in 2020.

“She’s a phony,” Eric Trump opined. “Chuck Schumer’s a phony. And you know, Brian, these people have never actually signed checks in their life. They’ve been dependent on the U.S. government their entire adults life.”

He added: “And by the way, look at the lives that they live. I mean, they’re pretty lavish.”

Eric Trump also remarked on Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden picking Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) as his running mate.

“I don’t know why magically she’s going to become this unicorn that somehow rejuvenates Joe Biden,” Eric Trump said. “I really believe she was kind of a Christmas present in August for my father and for the campaign. And we’re really excited that she’s on the ticket.”

They'd be a smidgen more believable if they didn't sound so pant-pissingly scared when they said it.

Then, if such a sad sack of shit DOES exist, THAT is the true unicorn....someone so stunningly stupid that they would look to a cartoon buffoon like ERIC TRUMP for any kind of wisdom that is not right out of Beavis and Butthead.

Hey Eric? Daddy is embarrassed as fuck by you too pal...

They both are. And more than that. I just don't know why they don't keep their fat mouths shut. Every time they open them they prove how stupid they are.

he was going to sell his (only) home to pay for his son Beau's cancer treatment. President Obama begged him not to do it, offering to give him the money himself. Quite the lavish lifestyle.

Was legislatively enacted, was temporary, was a partial cut (2%), and increased for those making over the cap.

Nobody loves him and he is as stupid as fuck. Also, he looks like a golf cart ran over his face and then backed up and ran over it again, unfortunately leaving his gaping gums intact. The guy has nothing going for him.

Even his bimbo, hideously unattractive wife is a detraction with her $180,000 taxpayer salary for doing absolutely nothing except for slamming Democrats on video at every opportunity with her woefully limited wit and knowledge.

I am so tired of these losers being in the public eye degrading everything and everyone decent in this country. They are a stain on this nation and deserve to be in prison. One of the best things about voting Trump out of office is never having to see the rest of his horrible family again.

24. Never signed a check???

I'm betting Biden did in Dec of 72 while paying for the funerals of his wife and daughter. I'll bet he signed plenty to the hospital that healed the injuries of his two sons from the crash that took his wife and daughter. Then the very next month he jumped on the gravy train as a US Senator for the Princely sum of $42,500 per year-plenty enough to pay for a home and childcare for his two motherless children and you know (actually you probably don't) normal expenses like a mortgage, utilities, insurance, food and stuff-that all took checks too. I assure you there were no butlers or domestic staff in the Biden house other than that part time nanny for the boys-whom I'm sure he also wrote checks to. You Eric are a pluperfect ass and I would ask you not to speak until you had something that deserved being heard, except muting even someone like you for life seems cruel...
