Eric Trump has once again lived up to his reputation for being a few watts short of a light bulb.
Last Saturday, the Senate voted 57 to 43 to convict ex-president Donald Trump of the one article of impeachment for incitement of insurrection. The historic vote fell just short of the two thirds needed for conviction, with only seven Republican senators voting with the Democrats, ten short of what was needed.
Still, it was the most bipartisan vote to convict an elected official in an impeachment trial in American history. On top of that, Trump also holds the unique distinction of being the only U.S. President to be impeached twice by the House of Representatives.
Now, most people would look at this as something to be ashamed of. Or, at the very least, not something to brag about. But not Eric Trump! Shortly after the majority of the Senate declared his father was, indeed, guilty, the 37-year-old took to Twitter to crow about his dad’s victory.
How about we take this to the next level?

“2-0,” Eric tweeted, once again demonstrating that he has absolutely no idea how this whole impeachment thing works.
2-0

Imagine bragging about being the only twice-impeached President in history.

As opposed to other presidents who actually served TWO terms and didn’t have even 1 impeachment… yep, the only president EVER to only serve 1 term and get impeached twice…wonderful record.

Of course, this is hardly the first (or second… or third… or fourth) time Eric has made a fool of himself on Twitter.
In December, he was widely ridiculed after he tweeted a meme “proving” his father won the election. And in November, he urged people in Minnesota to vote for his dad… one week after the polls had closed.

It’s bizarre, it’s as if the entire family never progressed much beyond their early teens.

I think you are being a little hard on early teens.
jcool
anyone else out there think maybe they had eric just to give junior the chance to look smarter? i don’t think it worked out.

They’re still at finger paint level. Gimme a break.

They never matured beyond their teens because they never needed to. When you’re a pampered “elite” you’re never told no, nothing is ever required of you, everything you need or want is instantly yours. I’m more surprised they’ve managed to mature much more past the toddler phase.
I still say round up all of them (the Trump’s and all their spouses), dump them on an island, and use it for nuclear tests.

Here’s a couple of other Trump 2-0 scores:
Adult Sons – Smart
Adult Daughters – Popular
Ex Wives – Not Paying money to
Payments to Mistresses – Not being Investigated
and lastly
Times he said something nice about Eric publicly – times it wasn’t complete BS
JimmyM
Two Impeachments and no B10w J*b

Eric is a few bricks shy of a load. Then again, they pretty much all are. Donald Chump will go down as the worst prez ever, except to the KKK, who now run the GOP, uh I mean the GQP

On the Apprentice when the “board” couldn’t decide who to eliminate each week Trump would always say it falls on the group leader if you can’t decide who to vote off— well he certainly has changed his tune— he doesn’t take responsibility for anything he does anymore and he takes credit for accomplishments he didn’t do!!!
The whole Trump bunch is trash and all their associates.
