Comments from Eric Trump concerning his father Donald Trump‘s bond payment from his civil fraud ruling sparked ridicule online Sunday.
Among the co-defendants in the civil suit were the former president’s older adult sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. On Sunday, Eric Trump made an appearance on Fox News‘ Sunday Morning Futures where he discussed the difficulties that his family had securing such a sizable bond payment. Court filings from last week mentioned over 30 sureties that declined to provide the bond.
“No one’s ever seen a bond this size,” he said. “Every single person when I came to them saying, ‘Hey, can I get a half-billion-dollar bond?’ Maria, they were laughing. They were laughing.”
A segment from the appearance in which Eric Trump made that remark was shared to X, formerly Twitter, by the popular cable news clip aggregator, Acyn, and promptly became the subject of mockery for many users.
“Yes, Slow Eric. They were,” Rick Wilson, co-founder of the anti-Trump political action committee The Lincoln Project, wrote in a post.
