Speaking to Fox News Channel about the mainstream media and Kamala Harris, the middle son of former President Donald Trump, Eric Trump, slammed the media as “disgusting” for how it is rebranding Kamala Harris now that she has been anointed as the replacement of President Joe Biden. Particularly, he pointed to the media’s near-immediately changed opinion on her before and after she was chosen. The interview occurred in late August, as the DNC in Chicago happened.
Beginning, Eric said, “Listen, Jesse, it’s the greatest rebranding of somebody I’ve ever seen. I mean, the media was laughing at her a month ago. They were literally telling her, I mean, in all the biggest publication,’ Kamala, it’s your duty to step aside, you know, let the next generations, you know, come in. Let the next generation of politicians.'”
Continuing, he noted the near-immediate shift inside the media and party regarding Harris. He said, commenting on how the party quickly got in line behind her, “It’s amazing. Joe Biden gets forced out, and 24 hours later, she has 4000 delegates lined up. Tell me that whole thing wasn’t pre-planned, and she wasn’t working that behind the scenes.”
Then, returning to his comments about the media and its role in the matter, he noted that there are quite a few issues about which the American people care, such as the inflation crisis and massive death toll from the fentanyl flowing into America, but the Democrats weren’t speaking about those issues at their convention in Chicago.
Beginning, he said, “But, but, but, Jesse, I mean, it’s actually really disgusting to . . . see the mainstream media. I mean, people in this country, there’s not a single person watching the show right now that’s not hurting, as I said before, wages haven’t caught up in this country, and people are getting crushed under the prices of absolutely everything you go to the grocery store. You can feel it, right?”
Continuing on that point, he added, “I mean, people are seeing people die in this country. 300,000 kids to fentanyl because these people, I mean, they’ll put up three walls around the DNC in Chicago, but they won’t do a damn thing about our southern border, which is letting drugs across and rapid numbers. I’ve been here for four days. I don’t even believe I’ve heard the word fentanyl the entire time. Of course not, you know, and you probably don’t.”
He then noted, hinting at the media’s complicity in not covering what is going on, “You’ve never heard that she chairs the National Space Commission, and yet Boeing can’t get one of the rockets out of . . . I mean, it’s literally docked at the International Space Station with two astronauts stuck up there, and you’re going to have to have Elon Musk go rescue them. I mean, what has this administration done?”
Continuing, and commenting on the Biden-Harris Administration not focusing on the real issues, he said, “You have wars breaking out all over the world. Russia and Ukraine, we’re paying hundreds of billions of dollars so young kids can shoot each other in point-blank ranges, in trenches, and on the Russia-Ukraine border. The Middle East has become a hornet’s nest. We’re not focused on our economy. We’ve spent more time wondering whether or not guys . . . should be able to swim in women’s sports.”
Then, speaking about how the world sees us and the state of the country under inept leadership, he said, “I mean, Jesse people are laughing at us around the world, the greatest country, the greatest country in the world. We’ve got, we’ve got unlimited potential, and we’re being run by a bunch of clowns. And I’m telling you, the country is going to reward Donald Trump. He is the best president this country has ever had, and he’s going to win on November 5 because people feel it in their souls. People know that this country is going in the wrong direction.”
