New York Police confirmed to NBC News that Donald Trump’s son Eric received “a suspicious piece of mail containing white powder” at his Manhattan residence on Thursday.

NBC reported the letter was received just before 9:30 p.m. and was postmarked in Massachusetts.

His wife opened the letter at their apartment at 100 Central Park South in New York City, according to CBS News. This address is also known as Trump Parc East.

Anonymous sources told CBS that an initial test found it wasn’t hazardous.

  1. What, his coke dealer showed up?
    Funny, there was a report of Marco Rubio receiving a suspicious envelope of white powder the other day, and then the story disappeared. It must have been sent by a Republican Teabagger, because if it was a liberal Dem you would hear about it for days on end. Of course, only a Teabagger would be stupid enough to pull shit like that in the first place. And if Trump is going to use his delightful family, who have the personality of the Bundy Klan, to campaign for him, the Dems have the election in the bag.

  2. I blame Obama!

  3. “Anonymous sources told CBS that an initial test found it wasn’t hazardous.”

    Well…that’s too bad.

  4. He probably mailed it to himself.
