Well, this is awkward.
While campaigning for his father’s reelection, Eric Trump swung by Fox & Friends this morning to pander to LGBTQ voters and… come out? Wait… what?!
It all started when co-host Ainsley Earhardt asked, “There are a lot of people that might be voting for your dad that might be admitting it. So are you counting on this person? The ‘secret voter?'”
To which Eric responded, “Ainsley that person’s there, I’m telling you I see it every day. The LGBT community, they are incredible. You should see how they come out for my father, every single day. I’m part of that community and we love the man. Thank you for protecting our neighborhood, thank you for protecting our cities.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

OK, OK, so maybe Eric didn’t come out exactly. He was sloppily quoting what supposed LGBTQ Trump supporters have allegedly told him on the campaign trail, but Twitter still had a field day with his official “coming out.”

Is Eric Trump announcing himself a member of the LGBT Community the “October surprise” Republican’s promised?

Eric Trump is a part of the LGBT community the same way Kevin Spacey is. Against our will.

In other Eric Trump news, a New York state judge recently ordered that he must submit testimony to investigators who are looking into the Trump family’s real estate transactions by October 7. Eric has been fighting a subpoena for his testimony since May.

How sad, he knows the Trump clan really doesn’t want him and he see’s how people in the LGBTQ community have the ability to form their own family units and he longs for the possibility of sharing his life with others. How incredibly sad and delusional. Heck if he was actually queer and admitted it I might gain an ounce of respect for him but as usual he just doesn’t think before he speaks.
jayceecook
So he’s the Jeb Bush of the Trumps?
Cato
Eric is the Rosemary Kennedy of Trumps.
jayceecook
@Cato So like I said, the Jeb Bush of the Trumps. LOL

UGH!!! More homophobic hate speech from the gay-hating Trumps. How long before they start rounding us up and sending us to the gas chamber? Nazis!!
Cam
Trump stated he would appoint judges to reverse those “Awful” gay rights decisions.
And has done that. But here you right wing trolls are, continually trying to defend their bigotry.
You’re still bad at this, no matter what screename you use.
jayceecook
@CamCam Are you even bothering to read the comments you are oddly compelled to scream “TROLL!!!” at anymore? Or has it just become like a Tourette’s tick? Nothing Kieran said was pro Trump. Like, WTF?!
Cam
@jayceecook
That same screename has been all over Queerty today defending Republican. And the last line was sarcastic. I will return your accusation back at you. Are you so desperate to comment on me that you purposely missed that?
dave1000
How can that remotely qualify as hate speech? News flash, not all LGBTQ are leftist fools.
Apparently, at least one poster here thinks the man is subhuman. Time to shove him into an oven (just like German queers were, two wrongs make a right). Or, he is just plain dumb. I suppose that poster was trying to be charitable.
The amount of hate I have witnessed here in these threads is quite disgusting.
Liquid Silver
Eric, honey, if you were coming out, you’re the one person who should just stay in.
And nobody believes that statement anyway.
Third, hail Mary passes are thrown at the last second. That would be in late October.
dave1000
Then, obviously, it was not a Hail Mary pass.
Mister P
Eric applied for the LGBTQ club but everyone voted no.
ZUMMY
Gross.
fur_hunter
He is nothing but a LYING, F uckTard, A SS HOLE, Scumbag, Piece of S HIT!!! And those are just some of the nicer words I have for him.
dave1000
Nice. Put yourself on the same level as the Nazis.

Eric wears his father’s shit stain on his ugly monkey face. If Eric is straight, then I must feel compelled to turn in my gay card can become totally asexual. “Thems are some dumb apples” from the Dumb Apple Tree in Chief.
ShiningSex
If any gays support Trump, then they’re just racist POS.
leecee
Well I know I will be read for filth for this, but Eric is kind of attractive, more so than Junior…
nastypig
No, I agree. There’s a touch of sweet meekness in his face, his milieu that makes him rather attractive. He did finish up his academics at a different post graduate school. That’s a statement in itself, I’m thinking a declaration of separation. But he’s still infested with Drumpf blood so it will be a a long hard fight to gain his homosapiens sapiens status.
MISTERJETT
i wouldn’t read you. people have no control over who they find attractive. he is dumb, though – just like the rest of his family.
vinnieboiblue
I cannot wait until Ousay and Uday Trump are in prison like their that Saddam Trump.
amanwithanedge
yuck.
marcbruer777
Ok, I’m done, if E. T-rump joins the gays.
Bob Amsel
Eric didn’t come out. The verbal comment should be punctuated as follows:
Eric Trump: “The LGBT community, they are incredible. And you should see how they come out in full force for my father every single day:
‘I’m part of that community, and we love the man.’ ”
Get it?
radiooutmike
Correct!
yup5hioop
I’m just glad he has the capacity to not interrupt every other sentence with a juvenile insult like his father has to. I’ll give him this I’m sure Dave Rubin is a good bodyguard. Would make for a good remake of that movie too.
Den
In the last presidential election, significantly fewer LGBT people voted for Trump than usually vote Republican.
There is no indication that has changed in any way. Twelve percent of us voted for him as opposed to the usual 20% who vote right wing.
As usual, the Trump people are simply lying and pandering.
Georgeiv2
Eric Trump gay ? where do I send my letter of resignation ? I quit . I would rather be celibate that be associated with any Trump !
radiooutmike
Well, I must be in the minority here that does not think Eric Trump “came out”. However clumsily he spoke, he was obviously referring about the group that loved Trump… Eeesh.
