According to Eric Trump!
He made this statement on Friday. He was defending his father's way of becoming rich! Eric Trump was on Fox News when he made this statement and had the panel laughing at his stupid remarks. I guess the rock doesn't fall off the ledge after all!
If someone could post a link, we all can see the fool in action. I am having trouble posting a link myself, thank you.

(44,397 posts)Thirty-two-year-old Eric Trump, a millennial himself, didnt go unchecked for his statements about his fathers success.
Well, I think hes a guy who has been an entrepreneurial guy. Hes built an amazing company. Hes become the epitome of the American dream. Hes gone from just about nothing into, you know, a man who the Trump tycoon heir said, before he was cut off.
Julie Roginsky, the shows co-host, didnt miss a beat and fact checked Eric Trump immediately, before he could even finish his statement.
Nothing? He got a million bucks, Roginsky quipped, addressing Donald Trumps loan from his father.
Listen, hes built an unbelievable empire, Trump said, defensively answering the co-host. Trump then tried to bring it back around to the millennial generations respect for self-starters, such as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Hes epitomized what America is all about: opportunity and working hard and being able to achieve your dreams and what you want to succeed, right? Its no different from a Zuckerberg, right, who went out with a great idea like Facebook and developed this idea and built it and grew it and grew it and grew it. Thats achieving something, right? And I think it is very different than a person who has been career politician.
The fact that Donald Trump probably wouldnt have succeeded in business without his fathers $1 million loan seems lost on Eric Trump. In fact, the youngest Trump has an odd slant on politics and issues in general, especially when it comes to understanding the political inclinations of millennial voters.
