A growing number of businesses have severed ties with the Trump Organization since last week’s insurrection, which many say Donald Trump is responsible for, and perhaps nobody’s more upset about the whole thing than Eric Frederick Trump.
Not only have all the major tech companies banned Donald Trump from their platforms, but Deutsche Bank announced it would cease doing business with him, and PGA of America announced it would no longer hold its namesake championship at any of his golf courses.
According to The New York Times‘ Maggie Haberman, losing the PGA tournament left the outgoing one-term president “gutted,” upsetting him even more than his impending second impeachment and possible removal from office.
He’s angry about impeachment, people who have spoken to him say. But the reaction to the PGA decision was different order of magnitude.

Now, Eric Trump is speaking out about the whole thing and–surprise!–he’s playing the victim.
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.
“We live in the age of cancel culture, but this isn’t something that started this week,” he told the Associated Press yesterday. “It is something that they have been doing to us and others for years.”
“If you disagree with them, if they don’t like you, they try and cancel you.”

In this case, we’d say people aren’t “trying” to cancel the Trumps. They are canceling the Trumps. The Trumps have officially been #canceled.
Unfortunately, Eric doesn’t seem to have gotten that memo yet. He still believes that, after all is said and done, his father will come out victorious.
“You have a man who would get followed to the ends of the Earth by a hundred million Americans,” he continued. “He created the greatest political movement in American history and his opportunities are endless!”
When the AP asked Eric whether he believed his dad might be at least partially responsible for inciting last week’s attack on the U.S. Capitol, he hung up.
One week to Inauguration Day, folx!

Every business the Trump family has run has failed. Trump burned through his hundreds of millions of dollar inheritance to keep his businesses afloat and they STILL failed.
After that he went into massive debt. They should be used to failing by now.
As for the businesses he still has, Scotland is looking into his Turnberry golf club because they said it looks like a business that was created to lose money (Money Laundering).
If Eric thinks things are bad now, just wait until the next few years.

Facts are of little interest to the Republican rank and file, of even less to the prime manipulators.

So when again can we not have to worry about The Jabba the Hut of Privilege or any of his spawn being part of the news cycle?

I love how every time they talk about how many loyal devoted followers they have, the number gets bigger…never mind that Trump had around 88 million Twitter followers (many of whom were probably NOT die-hard fanatical insurrectionists), no, today its’ 100 million. By the inauguration it will be 300 million at this rate (or about 90% of the population of this country!).
As for the greatest movement in American political history? I believe history will actually judge Trump rather poorly. Myself, I remain devoted to the politics of the late Paul Wellstone.

Don the Con could not even win a majority of votes in either of his two presidential elections! Among Republicans over the last 100 years, several–Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, George H. W. Bush–at least won a majority of voters during their runs (HW the first time, that is).
So did Democrats like Clinton (a plurality the first time) and Obama (twice). Democrat FDR won four straight elections and completely turned this country around, created legislation that still ensures fairness for millions of Americans, and won a war! I mean, the Con family is so deluded it’s not even funny. If he had won this election fairly, he’d still be president. But he lost, fair and square, despite all of his dirty tricks (and Russian help, AGAIN, if you believe Don the Con’s FBI, Justice Dept, NSA, etc.), to Joe Biden by 7 million votes. That is more than a number of GOP-voting states combined.
Accept the verdict of the voters and stop trying to rationalize a failed presidency and a fascist coup attempt! Please!

Hmmm… people being held accountable for their words and actions… and THAT is cancel-culture?
I guess it depends on your perspective…
If you’ve NEVER BEFORE been held accountable for your words and actions (and Daddy has ALWAYS been there to make sure your every fart is GOLDEN), then I guess you could possibly think so…
But I have a message for the Trump family – karma is a BITCH!
I’m not a partisan – plenty wrong with the Democratic Party – but while the Republicans like to tout themselves as the “Party of Lincoln”, we shouldn’t forget that they are ALSO the party of Joe McCarthy and Richard Nixon…. and for a few decades to come, I fear they will also have to bear the mantle of being the Party of Trump (which, I fear, will be just as derided in the future as the names McCarthy and Nixon).

Trump was canceled at the ballot box. He is not a victim by any means.
AxelDC
Someone’s not happy he’s going to prison.
frenchjr25
The definition of dirt bag. One thing I wonder about is his father’s hatred for LGBTQ peoples. Let’s just think about the fact that he was a domineering leader at an all-boys military school.
douglen221
I can not wait until January 20, 2021 when Trump and his disgusting family depart the White House for GOOD! The most whiny, failed family ever to live there. They are professionals at only one thing,and one thing only…playing the victim. Even that failed porn star slut of a wife of his in her little blurb about the terrorists invading our Capitol, had to make it about the “salacious gossip” being said about her. A useless, lazy, uneducated,stupid, vapid and tacky family. Hopefully history will not be kind to any of them. And that failed handbag “designer” Ivanka still has hopes for a Presidential run in 2024?Please,give me a break!

Amen to that

The Trumps and their cult are idiots

I know, ErICK. It’s SO unfair. Like the way we cancelled Al Capone or the way we cancelled all those other crooks…he’s just worked up because Daddy told him he will have to stop his allowance.

“You have a man who would get followed to the ends of the Earth by a hundred million Americans,” he continued. “He created the greatest political movement in American history and his opportunities are endless!”
The greatest political movements in American History were the revolution, and the Civil Rights movement. There is really no way to argue against that. By contrast, the MAGA movement will rank with the Know Nothings, The failed “Tea Party”, Shay’s Rebellion, The Wilmington Insurrection and other movements of people with little understanding of civics and civilization.
As for who might follow him to the “ends of the earth”, even 40 million Americans would be a high estimate given how many of his 74 million voters were voting for PARTY and not specifically for him.

The Trumps ruin everything they touch and soon they’ll all be spending all their time in court fighting criminal charges and lawsuits.
Fname Optional Lname
LOL Is he really crying about “cancel culture” ? Has he met his father? Trump invented cancel culture, ie: “You’re Fired!” For the past 5 years it has been quite apparent that if you do not support Trump or even disagree with him he will fire you and do everything in his power to ruin your career. That is exactly why so many Republicans did not speak out against him when they knew he was wrong, they were afraid of losing their positions and not be re-elected. How many people has he fired in the past 4 years? Someone should have an adult explain some of this to Eric and then give him a warm glass of milk
seadrian
Is he seriously complaining about “cancel culture” after his dad encouraged insurrectionists to cancel democracy?
They’re always the victim ?

Eric”s mouth looks like a dilated sphincter with teeth. He has his same father”s mouth.
JromeGervais09
That mouth of Eric’s looks like his dad’s mouth which I’ve likened to the anus. And we all no what comes of an anus. I’m always stunned by the gall of this family. They actually wonder why most of America hates them? Are they in la la land and that is not the movie either.
SaintRock
Free Speech????? Trump administration banned words from Federal Gov. Websites: fetus, transgender, vulnerable, entitlement, diversity, evidence based, science based, climate change, reduce greenhouse gasses, sequester carbon. ……. Where is the free speech when it comes to truth and science being silenced by Trump and his appeal to his cult… there is none. So do not cry about free speech when you cannot even have a father who stifles it. Big Brother 1984 Animal Farm GOP same ol same ol

I’m sorry but it’s about time that legislation was changed ‘in any country’ that prevents anyone who was declared bankrupt, their businesses folded/ went bankrupt or any criminal convictions baring them from holding office/ become involved in politics.
If you can’t keep you own affairs in order, you should not be allowed to represent the countries in which you live. That family are the prime example! They’ve tanked countless business, left thousands of people out of pocket across the globe and skipped away in a deluded bubble they are ‘the greatest’

What happened to that children’s charity money anyway, Eric?

Right… wait is that SDNY knocking at the kids’ doors? Certainly hope so!

The best analogy I can come up with, is this family is like repeatedly flushing a clogged toilet.

This is what the “Adult “ CHILDREN we raised to believe they were WINNERS everyone else were the losers. This is one more example of the rules are for everyone else, much like a Monarchy or Dictatorship. Donald Trump viewed himself as such (certainly the latter) and as such conveyed that to his family, and being accustomed to his musings fell in line with his beliefs. The two older boys financially are still tied to their father…So any loss he suffers they suffer. The evil princess daughter has to a great degree divested herself from those financial shackles yet still wants to feel entitled and she gets that from the Donald.
Let’s be clear long before his failed presidential stint Donald J Trump was a bad person who lied and stole from anyone including his own family.
He has squandered hundreds of millions of dollars in failing business deals, mainly bud them being ill conceived and as the courts have bore out basic cons. His children do not know any better, this is one more expression of that through Eric’s crying the family is a Victim. It’s time for them and a number of their wealthy followers to see what it’s like to live the other way….

Queerty tagline “no agenda except gay one”. Wht this article gotta to do with gay one.. Stay out of politics except it talk about policy on LGBT.
Tombear
Well, if Eric and that whole grifter clan are canceled I’m all for it! Where do I sign up?
Tombear
@jon_jon, you need to pay better attention in class! Politics affects every member of the LGBTQ community. If you don’t like this blog why do you continue to read Queerty. Now be off before a house gets dropped on you too!
OhHellNo
Is it just a coincidence that in most of the pix you see of LilDaddy or AirWick, they look like they’re about to blow someone?
Oh, wait…Putin.
