The entire Trump family is looking like a pack of whining, entitled brats every time they open their mouths lately. Eric Trump went on Hannity Monday night to demonstrate that, whining pitifully about how his poor, poor father is being victimized by … being expected to do his job, basically.
“My father said it, you know, he said it a couple of weeks ago in a tweet. He said, you know, ‘Am I going to have to carry this whole weight on my shoulders? When are some of the people in my own party going to start protecting me?’” Eric Trump said. “Now listen, I’m an outsider, I am looking in on the White House. … But I want somebody to start fighting to him.”
Poor Daddy Trump, carrying the whole weight of, uh, rage-tweeting, going golfing every weekend, and firing staff.
“But how much weight does he have to carry by himself? How can a party that is doing so much better than the Democrats. … Why wouldn’t they embrace this? My father has the voice of this country. The people of this country love him. Why wouldn’t they get in line?” he said, referencing defections by three Republican senators who voted against the Obamacare repeal vote early Friday morning, effectively sinking the Senate’s efforts to repeal the health care law, for now.
A majority of the people of this country do not love Donald Trump—from losing the popular vote to his abysmal approval ratings now—and more importantly, the people of this country really hate the idea of losing their health coverage, being priced out by pre-existing conditions, having coverage that doesn’t cover basic care … people hate Trumpcare. The fact that 49 Republicans did get in line for that dog of a widely hated plan is the remarkable thing. Not that Donald Trump even knows what was in this plan that he was supposedly carrying the whole weight of.
