  1. Donald Trump: “Eric Trump was a glorified coffee boy, who I barely knew and barely spoke to.”

  3. From the article:

    But when shown a decade-old email asking him for information for one of his dad’s financial statements, the irritated son strove to clarify.

    “We’re a major organization, a massive real estate organization — yes, I’m fairly sure I understand that we have financial statements. Absolutely,” Eric Trump testified at the family’s and company’s civil fraud trial. But the Trump Organization executive vice president insisted: “I had no involvement and never worked on my father’s statement of financial condition.”

  4. “I mean, I read them, but that in no way proves I understand it, your honor…”

  5. He was running the company but had no idea what was going on there ?? LOL

  6. That’s it… I figured it all out. The trump businesses keep failing because they really have no idea who is running them and what is happening. That has to be it. All these failures, frauds, theft is being done by everyone else and they just don’t know what is going on.

    SMH

  7. There’s always a tweet, email, message and pretty stupid to lie. There are receipts.

  8. This is the guy who lied about stealing money from a children’s cancer charity

  9. This literally is the most dangerous crime family in the world. Willing maga followers refuse to see through their most blatant daily lying in history – but hopefully the justice system finally will exact proper accountability instead of meaningless warnings.

  10. Well I guess that at minimum proves gross negligence since the owners aren’t aware of anything happening behind the scenes. Should make the decision easy to completely shut down the entire operation and charge them the max fines legally possible for damages.

  11. Lotta VP’s of Knowing Nothing at this laundromat. Safe to assume Ivanka will be more of the same. Lie till you can’t anymore and then tell the first lie again.

  12. These chucklefucks … how on earth are these criminals still walking around free?

  14. I mean does he remember anything? Dudes constantly high on coke

  15. Good thing for him that playing stupid comes naturally to him

  16. in my work i know alot of business owners and all of them know exactly what the fuck is happening with their own business. the Trump org is probably worth alot but its a small business, its not like a fortune 500. everyone knows. this is just bullshit and i dont know who they think they are fooling, there is no jury.

  18. The headline goes out of its way to stress that Eric Trump was only a little bit pregnant (*some* involvement).

  20. Eric has a history of putting his foot in his mouth.

    Lara is probably going to make him sleep in the doghouse tonight.

  22. The tRump family is too stupid to realize that in court, when they’re asked a question, expect the attorney knows the answer already. Lying just digs you into a hole.

  23. Dammit, Hunter Biden musta prepared all the financials. Better check his laptop.

  24. I’d love for the prosecutor to ask them if the financial statements had come back saying the company was worth only a million dollars or something very low, would they still just have blindly accepted what the accountants had put down and 100% agreed with the accountants because “they’re the accountants”

    They would have been jumping up and down screaming their heads off if the financials came back too low.

  26. Trump before Enerogon: “As the finder of fact, I find the witness not credible”

    Trump Jr.

    Erik Trump

    Both have also proven the same

  27. Crazy to me they’re going with the “uhh I didn’t even know what I was signing” defense rather than the “I thoroughly reviewed this and stand by it completely” defense…like not even bothering to pretend to defend signing it. Yikes. I sometimes sign shit at work that I didn’t fully review and still know the “ I signed it so I Own it no matter what” is going to apply…

  28. So we are supposed to believe Eric, Trump sr. Trump Jr and Ivanka had no clue that all there assets were inflated and its all the fault of accountants who for some reason chose to inflate values by themselves. Is this not basically what they are arguing

  29. Can you believe it? A member of the Trump family blatantly lying?

  31. Person with the name Trump says thing.

    Thing turns out not to be true.

  33. He lied … the fruit, its tha fruit, the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree.

    Contempt?

  34. The biggest point here for me, aside from the fraud, is that they all (father and sons) live off the claim that they are genius business men… hell that was the majority of Donald’s campaign, but now they suddenly don’t know anything about business? They are either lying on the stand, or they are admitting they lied about Donald’s credentials to get him elected and duped all their voters. Of course, his base will never hear this, but the more they deny involvement the more they deny their business acumen.

    That’s how you know they are lying on the stand, they wouldn’t say they lack knowledge or control of the business unless admitting their involvement (read:fraud) would give them larger penalties.

  35. These morons don’t seem to understand that a prosecutor will never ask you a question they don’t already know the answer to.
