win 322 electoral college votes, book says

Eric Trump, the former president's son, "flipped out" and yelled at his father's campaign data analysts at the White House as results came in on election night, according to an excerpt from a new book by Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker.

Eric had predicted to friends the night before that his father would win reelection with 322 electoral college votes, according to the book, "I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump's Catastrophic Final Year." He was upset that campaign staff were reporting otherwise.

"We pay you to do this," he yelled at staffers in the White House Map Room, which had been transformed into a Trump campaign war room. "How can this be happening?

Eric was reportedly confused as to how votes could continue to be counted through election night, as states began to process the unprecedented amount of absentee ballots, work which was delayed by some state legislatures until election day.

He has a reputation to maintain as the dumbest Trump.

1. LOL

Pay someone until they tell you what you want to hear.

[SergeStorms]

20. Or terrify them, like his father does.

Let's be honest though, who on Dog's green earth is going to be scared of Eric Trump?

[onetexan]

50. Im of the opinion the dumbbell was scared shitless

Given no more presidential immunity & the fact his whole crooked clan is being investigated. Prison is looking more &more likely bawahahahahjaja

😅🤣

[cstanleytech]

52. My money is on him fleeing the country if he thinks that

he might actually be arrested.
Same goes for Donald, his wives and the rest of his children.

[onetexan]

54. Oh totally agree. Betcha they already have that escape route worked out

Good riddance!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

2. Eric is a very stupid person

[NoMoreRepugs]

3. SNL needs to lower the EricBar.

[TreasonousBastard]

4. I understand idiot son blowing up at bad news, but I'm still upset at turning the...

map room into a campaign room. This was the room FDR used to watch news from the fronts of WWII. It should be a sacred space.

Pretty much ever since it was built, the White House has been off limits for politics. The Capitol building, too-- congresscritters even have to leave the building to make campaign calls.

[Frustratedlady]

9. That was my first thought, as well. Also, where was he watching and enjoying 1/6's shenanigans?

Doesn't get much more political than that day.

[0rganism]

24. The defilement was complete with the Goya incident

Resolute desk or grocery store aisle display?


Everything Trump touches dies and unfortunately he has touched American democracy deeply and repeatedly.

[KS Toronado]

27. Like how you asked that.

Or, "Resolute desk or grocery store Goya display?" Will remember that when the right opportunity arises
with a right winger.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

36. The Corruption of that regime of misfits and con artists are what we deserved.

Although, without Putun and Zuckerberg none of this would have been possible.

[thucythucy]

43. Also, isn't that yet another violation of the Hatch Act?

Just once I'd like to see the law actually applied to these cretins. Just once.

[dixiegrrrrl]

5. same attitude towards "the little people" as the rest of the family.

They all seem to think they are royalty.

[SergeStorms]

22. White trash with cash.

Well, a shitload of mortgages, anyway.

[Sogo]

38. Excellent assessment!

[lastlib]

6. Eric is what happens when you eat paste instead of reading the book in school.

I won't say he's an idiot, but in a battle of smarts, I think a leafy vegetable could take him.

He embarrasses me to say I have 46 chromosomes.

[Faux pas]

7. Lol

Rachel just calls him "the blonde one"!

[MaryMagdaline]

8. Trumps all failed civics class

[wnylib]

26. Nah, they just skipped taking the courses.

Government classes were for suckers who believed .all that stuff.

[Hugin]

10. The thought of Gums yelling freaks me out a little.

There's a picture it will take some therapy to get out of my brain.

[smirkymonkey]

11. God, he is such a dunce.

They are all so tragically stupid. Every single one of them. It's hard to pick a winner.

[blogslug]

45. The only thing and I mean the ONLY thing I will miss about that wretched family

...is the perfection of Mikey Day and Alex Moffat as those brothers

[smirkymonkey]

46. They do a brilliant job with that!

I will miss it too, but I'll be so happy when this miserable family is gone and relegated to the dustbin of history.

[usaf-vet]

49. How about relegated to spend 25 years + in federal prison orange jumpsuits.

[Doodley]

12. Sounds like the he knew the fix was on, and that is why he felt sure Trump would win.

[patphil]

13. I was thinking the same thing as I read the initial post.

[twodogsbarking]

14. Maybe he was in charge of the fix.

[NH Ethylene]

30. That would explain it all.

[Harker]

15. The road apple doesn't fall far from the horse's arse.

Picking the dumbest Trumpsky is as easy as throwing a dart.

[SergeStorms]

16. "His catastrophic final year."

I got a scoop for the author, the first three years were no walk in the park either!

[dameatball]

23. Yep. It's frustrating that the doofus got the kid glove treatment from much of the media. I will

never really accept all the half assed reasons why.

[Cha]

18. Poor little "confused" fucker.

[-misanthroptimist]

19. The Trump family motto:

"I am Groot -but mean and nasty."

[gratuitous]

21. Okay, Eric isn't exactly Mensa material

But some of the former guy's supporters aren't entirely stupid. After four years of the former guy's administration (an administration that was installed despite losing the popular vote by nearly 3 million ballots because America fuck yeah!) how did anyone on their campaign imagine that he was going to increase his percentage of the popular vote? He'd spent four years denigrating the American people, their ancestry, their country, and insulting our intelligence. He played favorites with government power, and used it against many of his own voters. That is NOT a recipe for re-election.

Nitwits, one and all.

[LymphocyteLover]

33. Seriously-- I have to think any supporter of the Orange Menace is mentally defective in some way

[Sogo]

40. Most of them just aren't aware of those instances.

Fox News doesn't report on any of that or spins it into an alternate reality.

[Kid Berwyn]

25. "We pay you to do this."

Said the guy who’s never worked a day in his life.

[Ray Bruns]

29. We pay you to do this," he yelled at staffers in the White House Map Room

You lost because you probably didn't pay your analysts.

[NBachers]

28. He probably spits a lot when he yells.

[LymphocyteLover]

34. LOL-- I can see it! (unfortunately)

[LudwigPastorius]

31. Donny Jr. probably shared a little of his stash with Not Donny that night.

Cocaine has a way of making even the most imbecilic the "smartest" and loudest assholes in the room.

[gldstwmn]

32. I still think in their minds they think they paid for the election,

paid to win so when things didn't go the way they planned they flipped out. They didn't count on people standing in line for hours on end because daddy produces such a negative response in people. They should know better than anyone.

[UTUSN]

35. His self-proclaimed expertise will win him fans on internet discussion boards...

[marieo1]

37. Good riddance to bad rubbish

I just hope they stay gone forever!!

[tishaLA]

39. "confused ... how votes could continue to be counted"

Yeah, that must have been confounding to him--how dare they count all the ballots?

[Blue Owl]

41. When the Gums are flappin' the brain is lapsin'

Shut the hell up and go eat some more glue, Eric!

[Azathoth]

42. Eric is dumb even by Trump standards nt

[halfulglas]

44. I'm so glad the time is coming

For the Trump spawn to lose their Secret Service protection and start having to pay with their own cash if they want security. One more week.

[FlyingPiggy]

47. These people live in a fantasy world where they make up their own reality

That’s so messed up!

[Zambero]

48. Gumbo Dumbo loses his cool!

[JohnnyRingo]

51. As flies on the wall fell off, doubled over in laughter.

Forget space, I'd have paid good money to be there.

[BobTheSubgenius]

53. Poor Eric. Poor Don. Reality is just not their friend.

Barely a nodding acquaintance, really.

[Ford_Prefect]

55. The idiosyncrasy is strong with this one...
