Public Takes Offense With Eric Trump’s Memorial Day Weekend Post

People were not happy with a post Eric Trump made on X, formerly Twitter, about the sacrifices the Trump family has made.

Eric Trump retweeted a post from an account called Freedom, which showed a picture of Trumps with the message, “The family that gave up everything to save America. Thank you!”

The son of former President Donald Trump added, “And we will do it again!”

And we will do it again!

Those in the photo were Donald Trump, Melania Trump, Eric Trump, wife Lara Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle.

Many found it ironic for Eric Trump to post such a message on Memorial Day weekend, especially since the focus of the weekend should be on fallen service members, according to the HuffPost.

“I wasn’t going to tweet anything political this weekend, but i have to make an exception for this,” former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), a former Air Force second lieutenant, said.

“Your family has sacrificed nothing, your name will become synonymous with ‘Benedict Arnold’ and how dare you tweet this, THIS weekend,” he added. “You don’t know the first thing about service you child.”

You don’t know the first thing about service… https://t.co/SxDAKyBpeI

Bill Kristol, a conservative commentator, said it “particularly disgusting to post this on Memorial Day weekend.”

Here are reactions from others on X:

The families that gave up everything for this country have family members buried at Arlington. How tone deaf can you be? It's Memorial Day weekend, FFS!! We are remembering those who actually did give it all.

Even for a Trump, this is shockingly awful.

You’ll do what again? Steal from children with cancer? Sell top secret classified documents? Incite an insurrection? Get your followers to smear shit on the walls? Bury your mom on a golf course? Ignore your father’s list for your sister? Commit fraud? Run a scam university?…

You stole money from a kid’s cancer charity, your dad called our soldiers “suckers and loser” and none of you ever served in the military. Such a corrupt group you of people.

Biggest family grifters.

Your family hasn’t struggled at any point your life.

On Monday you should sit down and think about the people who truly gave up everything.

Every one of them benefited financially from the Trump Presidency. Jarad received 200 billion dollars from the Saudis, where is the sacrifice?

Gave up everything? On Memorial Day no less …

Name one member of your family that served in the military.

ZERO.
