Eric Trump Says Daddy Was FIRST President in American History to Not Start a War — Twitter Has Some Thoughts

Evidently, Eric Trump truly believes he is smart and the American people are dumb, or he assumes that the typical MAGA is dumber than he is (which, sadly, is possible). A week ago, Eric said something about his family being the first “honest” family in history to come to the White House because they left all business interests behind.

We immediately put up about a dozen posts proving that they were doing business during the presidency, and the presidency itself became a business, selling MAGA merchandise everywhere. So the question becomes, does he actually believe himself, or does he believe that the MAGAs are stupid enough to believe him? Close call. But if you really think about it, his dad’s lies become twisted into truths in his mind, and that’s likely what happens with Eric.

Today, Eric is saying that his dad was the first president in United States history to not start a war. The president right before Trump didn’t “start” a war. And yet:

People can quibble about definitions, but it seems to us that the three greatest presidents, Washington, Lincoln, and FDR didn’t “start” wars (They defended the United States):

Forty? As you know, there have only been 46 presidents. It would seem that Eric is off a little. What are the odds?

So Twitter had some things it wanted to discuss with Eric.
