Eric Trump was rightfully called a “snowflake” after he took exception to a gag that MSNBC’s Katie Phang posted on X/Twitter, about his father Donald Trump’s hush money trial in New York.
Eric Trump has attended the trial on multiple days but didn’t on Tuesday when his brother, Donald Trump Jr., showed up for the first time. It prompted Phang to joke: “Don Jr. is here today. I guess we know who lost the rock, paper, scissors battle,” Phang wrote.
Eric Trump strongly objected to the post, which is insane because the joke was actually quite mild. Trust me, there are far worse things people could have said.
“What a cruel and nasty comment by @KatiePhang of @MSNBC,” the dumbest Trump said. “This is the state of the mainstream media — attacking a son for supporting their father — as I have on countless days during this bogus sham of a trial.”
What a cruel and nasty comment by @KatiePhang [1] of @MSNBC [2]. This is the state of the mainstream media – attacking a son for supporting their father – as I have on countless days during this bogus sham of a trial. https://t.co/FMWR52A88j [3]

Critics, though, reminded Eric Trump of the vitriol his father and his other family members have frequently spewed at others.
Phang has not responded to Eric Trump’s post. But many others did, and they had a field day:
It's peak hypocrisy for any member of your insurrectionist grifter family to make a peep about nasty comments. Your brother has a podcast dedicated to attacking people. Your father has attacked people so horribly that a judge had to issue a gag order. You should toughen up.

Cruel? Your father used the presidency as his bully pulpit to target, defame and incite an insurrection. Fuck you! 🖕🏻

We can see Eric is the cry baby of the family. Eric your family attacks anyone who doesn’t agree with them. Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it.

Fani Willis cannot live in her home because of death threats instigated by your father and sycophants. Not once has any member of your family tried to lead your followers to be decent and nonviolent.
Rock Paper Scissors? Really offended by THAT? Dang.— #RandyResistING Authoritarianism (@RandyResist) May 21, 2024 [12]
ROFL…. you all are such soft, primadona fascists it would be hilarious of your daddy didn't just post about a Unified Reich.

Your family knows all about cruel and nasty comments. Especially your Orange Father. @KatiePhang [1] comment is probably pretty close to the truth 🤷🏻♂️
