Eric Trump Slammed For ‘Particularly Disgusting’ Memorial Day Weekend Post (1)

Eric Trump drew ire over Memorial Day weekend with a post about sacrifice on X, formerly Twitter.

Eric, whose father is former President Donald Trump, shared another user’s post that featured a photo of the Trump family and the claim that they’d given up “everything to Save America.”

“And we will do it again!” Eric wrote.

And we will do it again!

The image showed Donald Trump and wife Melania Trump, Eric Trump and wife Lara Trump, and Donald Trump Jr. and fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle.

Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner were not in the photo.

Critics argued that the post was in poor taste, given how the weekend is supposed to be about honoring America’s fallen service members.

“I wasn’t going to tweet anything political this weekend, but i have to make an exception for this,” wrote former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), a former Air Force second lieutenant who is a fierce critic of the Trumps.

“Your family has sacrificed nothing, your name will become synonymous with ‘Benedict Arnold’ and how dare you tweet this, THIS weekend,” he wrote on X. “You don’t know the first thing about service you child.”

Conservative commentator Bill Kristol, meanwhile, called Eric Trump’s tweet “particularly disgusting to post... on Memorial Day weekend.”

Others recalled presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump’s past derogatory comments about members and veterans of the U.S. military ― such as calling fallen soldiers “suckers” ― and his five deferments to avoid the Vietnam draft.

I wasn’t going to tweet anything political this weekend, but i have to make an exception for this. Your family has sacrificed nothing, your name will become synonymous with “Benedict Arnold” and how dare you tweet this, THIS weekend.

You don’t know the first thing about service… https://t.co/SxDAKyBpeI

The grift from this family never ends. Stolen valor. Claiming to have served the country without being in the military. How many years in service or # of deployment you all have? FYI, Taking part in the events leading up to J6 doesn’t count as military service. https://t.co/05mRPhUSKz

A big FU to Gold Star families on Memorial Day. #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice https://t.co/fVC7jGHm0q

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!! We are remembering those who actually did give it all.

Even for a Trump, this is shockingly awful.

Your family hasn’t struggled at any point your life.

On Monday you should sit down and think about the people who truly gave up everything.

You haven’t sacrificed a damn thing for America.

The stones to say something like this on Memorial Day weekend. Unbelievable. https://t.co/elkINqWjGV

Memorial Day weekend is to honor our fallen members of the military who sacrificed their lives so we could be free. This family has been dishonoring our Military and yet, fake patriots still support them. It’s sickening. https://t.co/5XyKkqxCN9

Stop Acting like ANY OF YOU decided to Volunteer for U.S. Military Service during a War.

- Did you give up ANYTHING? NO!
- Did you leave your families for years and go FIGHT in a WAR with a REAL CHANCE of DYING? NO!

None of you gave up ANYTHING! Each and EVERY SINGLE…

Really? This. For Memorial Day? https://t.co/49TELAX1Nq

— Jeff Kemp (@jkempcpa) May 26, 2024

Yup, Donald even gave up his bone spurs after the draft was over.

— SnarkTank (@TheSnarkTank99) May 26, 2024

Your family hasn't "gave-up everything"; your father still has most of his freedoms.

— OnTheFritz™ (@fritzinmo) May 25, 2024

Gave up everything? On Memorial Day no less …

Name one member of your family that served in the military.

ZERO.
