Eric Trump: Nepotism Is How Americans Repay My Father For The Pro-Bono Work Hes Doing As President

[kskiska]

(Excerpt)

“I think forgiving and, what’s more, encouraging nepotism in the White House as well as the Trump family is the perfect way Americans can repay my father for the awesome pro-bono work he’s been doing as president so-far. Because, let’s not forget: we’re talking about a billionaire here. Being the President of the United States is all fine and dandy, but waking up in the morning and going for a dip in your very own pool of cash is even better. So, pro-bono work is something my dad has gone to great lengths to achieve and he doesn’t mind doing it. Plus, he’s paid a higher tax rate than former president Obama. Combined with the volunteering he’s doing at the White House, I think that’s as charitable as it gets,” Trump’s son concluded.

1. Insert infinite facepalm memes here

2. This should be identified as satire

because these days it's getting harder and harder to tell. (Politicops.com is a satire site, but not nearly as funny as The Onion).

4. Fooled me, see post down thread...

Trouble is, it sounds way too much like something that family of cretins would say.

15. Fooled me too

I used to be able to spot satire fairly easily, but no more. In the bizarro world we live in now it's getting hard to tell.

13. Thank you. I am glad I read through the replies before doing so myself.

The sad thing is that Qusay probably actually believes this in reality.

3. Pro-bono?

He's making millions on bookings for his properties every time he plays golf or holds one of his soirees at Mar-a-Lago. He's traveling for fucking free on our dime, including the best security our tax dollars can buy.

Fucking pro bono.

10. The article is satirical. See above.

Eric has, for real, defended nepotism, but the cited article is satire.

11. Someone needs to inform the twit that his dad is our temp help

and so far is doing a poor job.
