Former US President Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump recently made headlines for bragging about his father’s “stamina” amidst his ongoing trial in New York in the former adult film star Stormy Daniels hush money case. Appearing on Fox News, Eric told host Maria Bartiromo that Trump “is going all over the place,” and “his stamina, Maria, I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.”
Despite journalists and observers noting that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee was seen falling asleep in court during the trial, Eric claimed that Trump’s court appearances are evidence of his “stamina,” citing his ability to attend events like a bodega visit across town just days after the trial.
Social media users were quick to mock Eric Trump over his comments, with many pointing out Trump’s complaints about freezing temperatures in the courtroom and his tendency to doze off during the trial. One user sarcastically wrote, “After a long nap— I also have great stamina,” while another stated, “Stamina? Trump is sleeping in court.”
Ron Filipkowski, a vocal Trump critic, highlighted Trump’s behavior during the trial, noting his complaints about sitting in court, falling asleep, and playing golf on multiple occasions. He sarcastically suggested that Trump should demonstrate his stamina by running to the end of his driveway.
The public reaction to Eric Trump’s comments underscores the ongoing scrutiny and criticism surrounding the Trump family amidst legal challenges and political controversies.
