Eric Trump on Thursday evening tried to bash one of his father’s arch-nemeses, CNN, by predicting that the network would not cover his father’s personal donation to the recovery efforts for Hurricane Harvey.

His attempt to burn the network failed miserably, however.

Eric Trump published his tweet criticizing CNN around 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

Yet CNN had published a story on Trump’s donation pledge hours earlier, soon after the White House announced the planned contribution, and the network also covered it on the air.

  1. Whiny, arrogant little dickhead.

    Glad CNN could slap him down so quickly and so completely.

    (Anybody know if the money has actually been sent yet? Until it has, it’s all smoke and mirrors, including Butthead’s snotty comment.)

  2. Eric Trump, attack dog.

  3. Lucky Eric: He’s so dimwitted that he’ll be the only Trump to avoid indictment, because he’s not competent enough to collude with anyone.

  4. The clan has to figure out which St. Jude’s pediatric oncology account is easiest to rob.

  5. You know, my brother’s dog couldn’t leave the skunk that lived under the back porch alone. Got a facefull on a regular basis, but never learned a damned thing.

    Butthead reminds me of that dog, in more ways than one. (The dog, however, was likeable, unlike Butthead.)
