Last week it was reported that the narcissistic Trump family, like their fascist counterparts in the 1930s and ‘40s, made sure to allow filmmakers full access to their behind-the-scenes blatherings. Filmmaker Alex Holder reportedly turned over footage of interviews with Trump’s crew of corruption, including progeny Ivanka and Eric. These were interviews and outtakes of interviews Holder filmed with the family and Big Lie scenesters recorded in December 2020, when Trump knew the election had not been “stolen” but continued promoting demonstrably false election fraud claims to the world.
A British filmmaker, Holder was reportedly “cooperating fully” with the Jan. 6 committee and making sure that the time he spent documenting Trump’s campaign from September on was recorded and handed over. Holder has also appeared on television to discuss his experience in a few interviews, saying that it was clear to him and his film crew that Jan. 6, based on the Trump campaign’s rhetoric and the misinformation they were promoting to the public, “had to end with something violent.” More to the point, Holder told CBS’ Norah O’Donnell, “You’re telling 75 million people that their election doesn’t count, and they, you know, believe you. You’re their president, and they voted for you, and you’re saying that their election doesn’t count, and then what — what else is gonna happen?”
But it wasn’t just British filmmaker Alex Holder who saw what most of us saw approaching. According to Holder, Eric Trump—the blonder, more ashen looking Trump son—seems to have also had this exact same opinion.
According to a report from The Independent in the U.K., Eric had a nice and bloody let them eat cake position on the whole thing:
“When I asked Eric about the potential danger of sort of rhetoric and the sort of the belligerence, he felt that it was … fair game in that it … was sort of the equivalent on the other side of the political discourse, or he felt that it was the right thing to do … because the election was stolen.”
Let’s count the people not throwing their bodies against Capitol police, breaking down doors, through windows, carrying zip ties, searching for the offices of elected officials:
- Donald Trump
- Ivanka Trump
- Eric Trump
- Donald Trump Jr.
It’s almost like those MAGA folks were simply cannon fodder for their power grab. Eric is as full of sugar honey ice tea as the rest of his family, and the excuses for how and why God didn’t pay attention to his dad’s reelection campaign speak to the laziness of his thinking and the utter lack of creativity in the world of fascism.
Sign the petition: Don't let the Jan. 6 Committee's work go to waste. DOJ must investigate and prosecute Donald Trump.
