Eric Trump’s defence of his dad wasn’t the slam-dunk he thought – 9 funniest takedowns
A document describing a foreign government’s nuclear capabilities was reportedly among the 11,000 government documents and photographs retrieved by FBI agents from Donald Trump’s Florida estate.
The former president has been raging against the FBI, the Department of Justice, and anyone else he can think of following the search of his Mar-a-Lago property last month.
Here’s one of the photos released by the Justice of Department.
And it prompted this unintentionally hilarious defence of his father by Eric Trump which, it’s fair to say, isn’t the slam-dunk he presumably thinks it is.

A classic Trump combo of missing the point and also lying about readily observable facts. https://t.co/C79zwgBux9

Do they really think the FBI putting documents on the floor to photograph them together is the problem and not the fact that TRUMP STOLE NUCLEAR SECRETS!? pic.twitter.com/CsUTHRoKGG

Eric the Dumb: “My dada kept the stolen incredibly sensitive top secret classified documents he stole in his desk and closet, not on the floor!” https://t.co/k5wSfjyRcR

Yes Eric, we give in. Your father kept his stolen nuclear secrets very neat and in order. https://t.co/tLJtCgilJp

Purely for clarification purposes, there was also this.
Uh huh, sure @erictrump. Your dad is a “very very neat guy” 😂 pic.twitter.com/rhSWOXZrJw

And finally …
I am amazed that Eric grew up in a house with both silverware and electrical outlets and somehow still managed to survive.
