“You know, the difference between them and my father… My father sat there 24 hours a day and fought for the United States’ best interests,” the second Trump son said, his voice cracking. “These people aren’t fighting. They’ve got no energy. They’ve got no charisma. They have no fight.”
S.V. Dáte, the senior White House correspondent for HuffPost, heard Eric Trump’s comments and couldn’t let them go without comment.
“Unbelievable,” Dáte tweeted. “Donald Trump kept the lightest work schedule of any president going back at least to Reagan, possibly to Eisenhower.”
“He rarely got to the West Wing before noon.”
“Unless watching TV and tweeting about he just saw is defined as ‘work,'” he noted sarcastically.
Unbelievable.
