'A Thing of Beauty': Trump Was Tickled as the Missouri Erics Scrambled to Claim His Endorsement
Donald Trump still has the power to make Republicans fight each other for his approval, and he’s enjoying it immensely.
The former president “thought it was a thing of beauty and too goddamn funny” to endorse “Eric” in the Missouri primary and then to watch two MAGA candidates — both named “Eric” — scramble to claim his favor, according to a person familiar with the ex-president’s thoughts.
On Monday, Trump wrote in a statement that “ERIC” has his “complete and total endorsement” in the Missouri’s Republican primary for Senate. He did not specify whether the nod was meant for Eric Greitens, the state’s scandal-ridden former governor, or Eric Schmitt, the state’s attorney general. It was an absurd end to a race that has largely been characterized by both candidates doing their best to grovel for the former president’s affection. The days-long prelude to Trump’s “ERIC” declaration was marked by ferocious, dueling efforts waged by prominent supporters of both Erics (including Donald Trump Jr. girlfriend and former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle, on the side of Greitens) to get in the ex-president’s ear and convince him to finally, formally back one of the two men.
Neither candidate got Trump’s full backing, but they both did their best to lay claim to the quasi-endorsement. Shortly before Trump released his statement on Monday evening, the Greitens campaign had actually gotten a heads-up that they were getting the sort-of endorsement — even if it was this late in the game. The lead-time was minuscule, according to a person with knowledge of the matter and another source briefed on it, but Greitens’ team made the most of it.

Did they use their tongues or just their lips when they kissed your ginormous ass?
