Eric Trump Busted In 'Obvious Lie' In Off-The-Rails Defense Of Dad (1)

Eric Trump made a bold claim about New York on Fox News ― and people who are in the city quickly fact-checked him on social media.

Trump’s father, Donald Trump, is on trial in Manhattan in the Stormy Daniels hush money case ― and the former president’s son insisted the proceedings have left the Big Apple paralyzed.

Advertisem*nt

“The entire city of New York is shut down,” he told Sean Hannity on Wednesday night, adding that “half” of the city’s police force is guarding the trial.

“No one believes it,” Eric Trump said.

His critics agreed with that last part: They didn’t believe the “entire city” has been “shut down” due to the trial.

I mean. This is such an obvious lie. Yet - people in my family will ask me if New York is really that bad. https://t.co/niB8WgAr2k

He’s said this crap before. NYC was not remotely shut down. It’s either solipsism or a lie. https://t.co/X6d4P4fxKx

I was wondering why the NYSE and the NASDAQ were closed off today. The entire city was dead, no soul in sight, all the businesses were closed.

Oh, wait. 😂

Truly any lie will do for the most gullible voters on earth & the fascist media that amplifies them. https://t.co/aE4K7yWB3i
