The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, and in this case, the apple is trying really hard to roll even closer.
Eric Trump sat down for an interview on Fox News on Tuesday night, where he dusted off a pretty weird line from father Donald’s egomaniacal handbook. It didn’t land well.
As Eric would have everyone believe, people keep approaching him on the street, embracing him while weeping. “Literally, sometimes Sean,” he said, “with tears in their eyes,” as they gush about how much they miss former President Donald Trump.

Folks were quick to recall the former president would often tell the exact same story.
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.
“I don’t think he cried in his life and I don’t think he cried when he was a baby,” Donald Trump said in 2019, after a man supposedly wept in his mere presence. “He was crying. He said, ‘Sir, you give me back my life and my property.’”
In 2018, another similar story: “He was a strong, tough guy, and he was crying. He said, ‘Mr. President, thank you for saving America. I’m telling you, that man, he was tough. I don’t think he cried when he was a baby.”
And in 2017, Trump would often speak of ranchers weeping behind him at an event. Footage of the speech does not show any tears being shed.
Eric’s attempt to rehash the weeping Trumpers story did not go unnoticed:
A) sure
B) did you check for your wallet afterwards @erictrump?
C) the fuq you ever walk on the street past random people pic.twitter.com/DyjT4nszNE— Keith Olbermann (@KeithOlbermann) May 19, 2021

This is such a blatant lie.
1. The only people missing your deadbeat dad are you, Jr., and Rudy.
2. NO ONE would hug you….(not even daddy.) https://t.co/gqcx5bUfrV— Jefferson’s Ghost (@cctigers09) May 19, 2021
Hooey. Was this "mythical" street a walking path in Mar-A-Lago? Also, @EricTrump's own daddy doesn't hug him, let alone random strangers.
Why would your Secret Service detail allow strangers to approach you, Eric? https://t.co/95E9P4d0jG— Paulette Feeney (@PauletteParis1) May 19, 2021
so the secret service let random ppl hug Eric trump. https://t.co/MMjbEcL4wN

Another day, another lame Trump story.
Queerty has TDS to the max. Who cares what this Twerp says.
Of course, you wouldn’t report Biden telling a reporter yesterday to stand in front of his truck and hit the gas. Simply because he didn’t have an answer to the reporter’s question.
And of course, Queerty posts nothing on Chrissy Tiegen.
Among the tweets that have stood as the most offensive across the social media platform were those targeting the LGBTQ community.
In one, penned in 2009, she wrote, “God. Can we just come out and call the freaking show ‘America’s next top tr**ny’ because this s**t has been tr**tastic for the past five years.”
But yes, the bigger issue is Eric Trump. Bunch of political hacks work at Queerty.
Two years later, in 2011, her views on the largely marginalized community apparently didn’t waver as she slammed the bill that passed, allowing gay men and women to legally marry.
“Beautiful day in NYC. Oh wait, no I mean it’s terrible!” she wrote. “Complete anarchy now that gays can marry! Tea party was right!”
Crickets from Queerty. Chrissy has been cancelled. But she aligns with your TDS. So of course, no articles on the site. Cowards.

Another day and another embarrassment for the Trump Family.
Another day, the same anti-LGBTQ right wing troll account comes in to defend the bigoted Trump family.
Another Day, the same anti-LGBTQ troll account makes some random comment attacking Biden.
Another Day, the same right wing troll account tries to deflect from the rac-ist, anti-LGBTQ former president only a random woman of color who is a celebrity and has nothing to do with government.
Doesn’t matter what screename you’re under, your troll game is sad and tired.
GaysForTrump
Can, and the same old tiring response.
I love that you waste time out of your day to respond.
So continue posting the same response. You never have anything of value to add to the conversation.
GaysForTrump
Biden’s failure graduation speech to the Navy cadets today.
Senile President. Calling Navy cadets ‘dull’ because there is lacks enthusiasm, and charisma.
cuteguy
Why is this GaysForChump even on this site. He should head over to the Fox News site where he can be hated then ultimately cancelled there.? Just like they’re trying to cancel Jan 6, they can cancel this waste of space.
Cam
@GaysForTrump
Starting to panic aren’t you? You’re getting really really REALLY desperate to keep deflecting attention off of the Trump Failure family.
Oh, and precious, Biden spoke to the Coast Guard, not the Naval cadets, so if anybody is suffering from dementia, it would seem to be you.
GaysForTrump
It’s so ironic witnessing the ones that preach inclusion are so quick to name call and alienate others with different opinions.
And yes, I would much rather watch Fox News than CNN.
CNN’s ratings have tanked since Trump left office. What makes CNN so credible? Other than their ‘news anchors’ literally ‘acting’ emotional vs reporting the news professionally.
Cam, give It a rest already. I never once said not to report on Trump. Feel free. Doesn’t bother me. Though report on other issues effecting the LGBTQ community also.
Again, crickets about Chrissy. Her tweets were homophobic, and insulting to the whole LGBTQ community. And not one story? Ridiculous journalism.
Cam
@GaysForTrump
1. This story is about Eric Trump recycling the same lie his father told and you keep trying to deflect that.
2. I LOVE a defender of the party that wants to destroy LGBTQ civil rights and is trying to suppress black voters whining about being inclusive.
Sorry precious, nobody wants to “include” rac-ists and bigots. Including them means supporting their attacks on people. But it’s adorable you keep trying to use those same tired old troll phrases.

I’d be curious to know when any of the Trumps were actually walking on a street.

Melania has been a spectacular success as a street walker, so there’s that…

Nothing is funnier than any Trump trying to be capital-S “Sincere.” They just don’t have it in them.

Queerty does love posting about the Don the Con family, probably because the articles often do provoke a response but there are other things involving LGBTQ in the US and globally that I hope Queerty will report on and people will comment on. They probably won’t generate as many page views and clicks, but they are relevant to LGBTQ life.
Such as:
— The Biden administration’s State Department has restored citizenship rights to children born overseas to married same-sex couples, something the anti-gay Don the Con administration had blocked.
— Anti-LGBTQ students attempted to storm the LGBTQ+ House at Bucknell University in Pennsylvania, terrorizing the students inside. Bucknell and the local authorities supposedly are now investigating the incident.
— An openly gay candidate, Antonio Brown, is running for the mayorship of one of the US’s major cities, Atlanta. Brown is the first openly gay person to run for that seat. His record isn’t spotless but it’s a story worth covering.
— Bangor, Wales, elected its first non-binary mayor, Owen Hurcum, who’s actually still a student.
— Openly gay anchor Don Lemon is ending one of his CNN shows and starting another. This might actually generation some page views because there’s a subset on Queerty that dislike him.
Just a few stories to consider alongside the stories about the vile and reviled corrupt Con (Drumpf) crime family.

Some of the twitter replies are pretty funny. My experience is that I keep meeting Republicans who are relieved that Trump and his spawn are less and less in their daily lives. Lots of relief out there. But of course, the minority that is the core Trump base, like the poor and the George Wallace voters, will always be with us.

Is Gaysfortrump, a real thing? or is it a comedian ?
jcool
so here’s eric, walking home with a bucket of popeye’s chicken, because it’s his turn to cook dinner, when some teary eyed drunk comes up and hugs him. the secret service offered to save him for a drumstick and a breast.
Mehki
I just screamed…I got a visual!

The only person Eric bumped into on the street was a street walker and if she had tears in her eyes it was because Eric asked her to play the mean Daddy part and demean him while he slams his junk in a dresser drawer.

HAH !!! I would pay to see that !

This might be plausible had it come from someone who hasn’t been previously publicly interviewed while being drunk or high. Someone pointed out that random people on the street couldn’t have approached him or daddy because the Secret Service would have stopped them. That might have been true while daddy was in office but, and I could wrong, I thought that Secret Service protection remained for the former chief executive and his wife but was dropped for the extended family when they left office. The same thing applies to the VP and spouse. Candidates get it until the election but the also rams lose it after the election is certified by Congress. (Sorry Eric. There has been no voter fraud and the election was NOT “stolen.” Your father LOST his re-election did fair and square. Don’t buy into his delusional fantasies.)
jcool
normally that would be true, but trump extended secret service protection for his adult children and their spouses for an additional six months. at taxpayer expense. like everyone will only hate them for six months.
GayEGO
It is amazing we still have Trumpsters glued to Trump. After 4 years of messing up when Americans gave Trump a chance and he lost the election, verified and certified, to Joe Biden, Trump incited the insurrection and failed again. Geesh! Enough is enough! Convict and Jail Trump, that is all I want to hear about Trump!
mateo
There was a time when I wanted to see him rot in prison for another 20 years. But now I just want to see him dead. Big Mac, KFC, Coke (and “Coke”): do your thing, already!
AxelDC
I weep for America that we ever allowed these criminal clowns to touch power.
mateo
Has anyone else noticed that whenever Trump quotes people talking to him and addressing him as “Sir” (all while he’s using that incredibly condescending tone), it’s ALWAYS a made-up story? More predictable, impossible.
ManCanBemuse
The post-campaign chaos and its possible resolution were foreseen in a shocking book that also understood that these times of angst are fueled by a mostly unconscious but instinctual knowledge that humanity is at the end of its evolution as it has known it. “The Ecstasy of Carbon,” by Charles T. Laffoday, describes the world after Empire and much of Western Civilization collapse in a cacophony of Identity Politics, polarization and fractious subdivisions. It is a story informed by an Anthropological Futurism that is described from the point of view of the survivors that delves into a rarely imagined possible outcome of our current political climate of tribalism and divisiveness. It is a book that builds upon its precursor from 2010 entitled “Fixed Stars Rise,” one of the first books to predict the collapse of Empire and the rise of Gay Elitism with its awareness of the unique evolutionary characteristics and trajectory of the gay male form as that most ideally suited to hybridize with increasingly complex AI who have no need or desire to perpetuate what will soon be the superfluous act of biological procreation with its inherent costs and conflicts, especially with what is feared to be a loss of rationality and personal freedom in a hyper-feminist world. Everything is again open for discussion in this existential moment where the most fit of the fittest must be chosen for hybridization… It probes the riddle of why male homosexuality has continued to arise in the random distribution of human evolution. Concomitantly, it ponders what the role of women and femininity would be in this future society of gay man/machine hybrids who will have no use for procreation. It discusses the evolution of concepts and ideas, especially in accordance with technological developments. It is here where is discussed the society and the ethics of the new race, The Mance, the merging of man with experience, and the gradual and then meteoric ascension of Porno for this new race and this new world, whereby only with the hindsight afforded by these technological innovations can it be perceived to encompass the gist of the deepest ontological meaning in existence, embodying the most vital workings of the energies of chemical reactions in their purest and most unifying forms, revered among the scholarly disciplines. It explores what is unique in the physical and cultural evolutionary history of Western Europeans, particularly Northern Europeans, which affords many of them a capacity—sometimes even a predilection—to feel ashamed and guilty and angry at the historical success of their heritage. It is the proclivity for The Bleeding Heart, which dissipates in the populations of Eastern Europe and Southern Europe and is rarely, if ever, found in the rest of the world’s populations. Finally, it discusses the resolution of one of the most profound physical and conceptual dichotomies inherited from the human evolutionary path: the conflict between individualism, which is associated with the European trajectory, and that of collectivism, which is associated with the East Asian trajectory.
