Trumps are seriously demented

Eric Trump

The War on Christmas is back, and it's more strained than ever!

While listing the reasons why his father ran for president in an interview published Thursday, Eric Trump pointed to the tree on the White House lawn and claimed it was renamed the "Holiday tree."

However, in his attempt to explain his father's commitment to combating political correctness and the "War on Christmas," Eric Trump incorrectly accused the White House of renaming the Christmas tree.

"He opens up the paper each morning and sees our nation’s leaders giving a hundred billion dollars to Iran, or he opens the paper and some new school district has just eliminated the ability for its students to say the pledge of allegiance, or some fire department in some town is ordered by the mayor to no longer fly the American flag on the back of a fire truck," Eric Trump told The Stream's James Robinson. "Or, he sees the tree on the White House lawn has been renamed 'Holiday tree' instead of 'Christmas tree.' I could go on and on for hours. Those are the very things that made my father run, and those are the very things he cares about."

The tree that stands near the White House (on the Ellipse) each winter is still called the National Christmas Tree and has never been renamed, as Buzzfeed News noted. And the White House blog also referred to the tree kept inside the residence as a Christmas tree just last year.

It's like there is nothing going on there behind those beady, creepy little eyes.

[catbyte]

5. Go murder another creature more noble and valuable to the planet than you'll ever be, you

slimy, sleazy, zombie eyed serial killer looking pos. I think he and his brother may actually be even more vile than the con man who spawned them.

[sorefeet]

6. Thats the first thing

I thought. Dishonest little creep. Daddy will protect me. No real life experiences. EVERYTHING on a silver platter spoiled.

[Divine Discontent]

[edhopper]

7. And I hear they are feeding white babies

[Person 2713]

8. Trump Jr. heard it's the Mexicans who are stealing the white babies and selling them to eat

[PCIntern]

9. Why do I think of Dueling banjos? Nt

[Aristus]

10. If he loves America so much, why doesn't he enlist in the military?

Rhetorical question.

13. Geez Louise!

"He opens up the paper each morning and sees our nation’s leaders giving a hundred billion dollars to Iran, or he opens the paper and some new school district has just eliminated the ability for its students to say the pledge of allegiance, or some fire department in some town is ordered by the mayor to no longer fly the American flag on the back of a fire truck"

Is there a single grain of truth in ANY of that baloney?? I have never heard of a single instance of any of those things happening. The "school eliminating the pledge of allegiance" seems to be a popular one, and a meme I've seen on FB. But I've never seen any story that actually reported that this happened. Fire departments can't fly the flag? Where? Which ones??

And of course, the $100 billion to Iran thing has been debunked numerous times. What "paper" did he read that in? One of those that Sarah Palin reads?!?

[sarae]

28. Right?

He's saying his father is more concerned with really important issues (nonexistent issues) like whether a school makes kids recite the pledge of allegiance, or whether people call a holiday tree a "christmas tree".

Where's his outrage for Flint, Michigan?!! Where's his outrage about mass shootings?

[safeinOhio]

14. ATM........

All Trees Matter.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

16. Christmas trees has got to be one of the dumbest reasons ever to run for president.

The Trumps are oblivious to the real problems regular Americans face.

[RapSoDee]

18. Yup. Everyone knows daddy #ComradeTrump (R) secretly calls it a Tannebaum*

* Isn't that some kind of godforsaken Commie-Republican term?

[DFW]

17. Donald may be losing it. His kids less so

They come across, to me at least, as smart, calculating, soulless Machiaveiian manipulators who are looking to see how they can gain a maximum financial advantage from the coming electoral debacle.

[smirkymonkey]

21. Well, smart might be a stretch, but the rest is on point.

Ivanka seems to have a brain, but not so sure about Uday and Qusay.

[DFW]

22. The pseudo Sons Of Saddam are smart enough to have recognized three things

1.) Daddy ain't gonna be president
2.) They knew they had one big chance to make national names for themselves at the convention, and they did
3.) There was money in this gig for them if they played it right and had good PR agents

[Fred Sanders]

23. No doubt, and the known financial connection of Breitbart to an Egyptian general is also known also.

[Fred Sanders]

25. The Brain behind this is Breitbart News, and its trolling of us ALL now.

[Fred Sanders]

24. Not to mention that even a 20 %!. Chance of moving into THE White House is a good gamble.

[JHB]

19. ...whch makes me doubt he opens up a paper in the morning...

...and more likely just reads Breitbat, The Blaze, and dozens of other RW perpetual-outrage sites.
