BREAKING: Eric Trump Is Staggeringly Stupid

"Eric Trump on Sunday denied the claim of one well-known golf writer who recalled Trump had told him three years earlier that he and his father “have all the funding we need out of Russia” for a $100 million golf course project.

That golf writer, James Dodson, recalled to WBUR on Friday that the remark came during a tour of the recently renamed Trump National Golf Club Charlotte. By then, the Trumps had been given the cold shoulder for years by American banks wary of their record.

Dodson asked Eric Trump and his father, now President Donald Trump, where they got funding for the North Carolina property. “Well, we don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia,” Dodson recalled Eric Trump saying. Trump added, according to Dodson: “We’ve got some guys that really, really love golf, and they’re really invested in our programs. We just go there all the time.”

Eric Trump denied saying that in a comment to the New York Post on Sunday.

“It’s a recollection from some guy three years ago through a third person,” he said.

“We own our courses free and clear,” Eric Trump said, calling the story “categorically untrue” and “complete garbage.”

“We have zero ties to Russian investors,” he said.”*

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO BELIEVE THE TRUTH.WHEN THEY ACCIDENTALLY TELL IT?

[mikedaflexta]

We don't deal with the Russians, we just deal with the Russians.

[neverokay]

the beautiful thing about the trump family is that there is always an interview, or usually a tweet, that completely debunks or contradicts any of their more recent lies

[ALFiordita]

Re-watching this again in March 2024. It's like we are in the worst, mind-boggling time loop ever.

[kayshipman]

Donald did an interview with Letterman in 2013 and openly admitted he had many deals with the Russians. lol

[mikev]

Why is the FBI not investigating this? Seriously!

[millieo]

I remembered these from ages ago so was shocked to hear them say during the campaign they didn't. I'm still surprised to see how they deny any ties with Russia

[yaumelepire]

Gotta hand it to the Russians, they know how to play the long game.

[carrotjuse]

Eric makes Reagan and Dan Quayle look like intellectuals.

[alexoelkers]

Think maybe this is why Trump won't release his tax returns?

[snugbug]

Just looking at their pictures gives me the sick chills 😖.

[buckflowens]

I've never seen someone who says they're innocent do everything in their power to look 100% guilty. No kind of poker face.

[VibhorWase]

Eric: we deal with Russia
Trump: *IDK THIS KID* 😂

[sweetbabyray]

"From Russia With Loans". TYT, you can use this title. You're Welcome!

[PinnacleWindPower]

Why did this get swept under the table in 2023. Why is it not being looked at?

[The_Death_Owl]

It's like if Biff from back to the future had an even stupider son!

[ger]

SNL does the best portrayal of Eric and Junior.

[Soul]

Stupidity DNA unfortunately runs rampant in the Trumps.

[sixstanger]

How shitty of a businessman do you have to be to be deep in debt with Russia? I

[soulpiercer]

Like father, children.... Forked tongues, without grey matter or a soul, absolutely astonishing !!!
