Eric Trump under fire for 'particularly disgusting' statement on Memorial Day weekend
Donald Trump's son, Eric, is catching some heat this Memorial Day weekend after a "particularly disgusting" statement he posted on social media.
Eric Trump, who made headlines due to his defendant status in a civil fraud lawsuit in New York as well as his appearances at his father's criminal trial, caused the firestorm when he responded to a photo posted of his family on X, formerly called Twitter. In addition to Eric, Donald Trump Jr. and Melania are in the picture.
"The family that gave up everything to Save America," the caption reads. "Thank You!"

Eric shared that image on Saturday, writing, "And we will do it again!"
Conservative Bill Kristol said it was "Particularly disgusting to post this on Memorial Day weekend."
@mamajello replied, "I’m with you. Tasteless to post that this weekend…or any day. They have sacrificed *nothing*."
@IvanasStairCam chimed in:
"You’ll do what again? Steal from children with cancer? Sell top secret classified documents? Incite an insurrection? Get your followers to smear shit on the walls? Bury your mom on a golf course? Ignore your father’s list for your sister? Commit fraud? Run a scam university? Bankrupt casinos?"
@Leslieoo7 also replied, "The families that gave up everything for this country have family members buried at Arlington."
"How tone deaf can you be? It's Memorial Day weekend, FFS!!" the account wrote. "We are remembering those who actually did give it all. Even for a Trump, this is shockingly awful."
@DeniseBalistre1 wrote that "Trump lied about his wealth and used the presidency to enrich himself and his family and will do it again if given the opportunity."
"How dare you speak of sacrifice on the weekend we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice- the guys your dad called suckers and losers?" she wrote.
