Eric Trump says Syria strike was influenced by 'heartbroken and outraged' Ivanka

[SummerSnow]

President Donald Trump's decision to launch an airstrike on a Syrian air base was influenced by his daughter, Ivanka, who said she was "heartbroken and outraged" by the chemical attack that killed an estimated 30 children, the president's son, Eric Trump, told The Daily Telegraph.

"Ivanka is a mother of three kids and she has influence," Eric Trump, whose wife Lara is pregnant with their first child, said in an interview with The Daily Telegraph. "I'm sure she said: 'Listen, this is horrible stuff.' My father will act in times like that."

"These guys are savages and I’m glad he responded the way he responded," he said.

Eric Trump added, "And by the way, he was anti-doing anything with Syria two years ago. Then a leader gasses their own people, women and children, at some point America ... has to come forward and act and they did with a lot of support of our allies and I think that's a great thing."

Eric said that the president's action in Syria shows he will not be "pushed around" by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

1. He's not doing them any favors, and he doesn't even know it.

[JHan]

2. Yes Qusay, so much compassion she's okay with her dad banning refugees.

6. Here my precious Ivanka.....

Let me waste $90 mil and blow a country for you. Feel better know? Good girl. Come give daddy a kiss.

[gordianot]

7. Starvation, barrel bombs are such a better way to die.

[Pachamama]

8. "Daddy - I want a pony and I want it now!!!"

If the dim son (which I do believe - Eric Trump really is a dimwit) is simply speaking the truth and is too stupid to understand that while it may be true, it doesn't make us feel better - it shows us how fucked we are that Trumps daughter-wife can appeal to Daddy on what she wants and he does it...but this isn't getting Ivanka a Pony or a shoe and clothing line with her name on it!!! He is sending fucking missiles that kill people and can escalate us into a major crisis in the Middle East!!!

Poor little Eric....he knows that Daddy loves Jared more than his own sons and he probably felt really proud of himself saying this, especially about how it shows his daddy isn't owned by Moscow.... What an idiot... Probably hoped he could help and all it shows is how scary things are and we are screwed.

9. send her lots of videos

Immigrant kids whose parents were deported, poor kids losing medicaid, kids poisoned by lead in their water or by polluted air, you name it, send it all to Ivanka.

[brush]

10. So this unelected apparel and shoe knock-off plagiarist is now setting our foreign policy?

Just fucking great.

[SummerSnow]

19. he can't make any decisions without her.

[leftstreet]

11. It's a good thing she didn't have him bomb Nordstroms

I'm sure she was just as heartbroken and outraged when they stopped selling her shoes

[Me.]

12. She Has Influence Doncha Know

Nobody cast a single vote for her but she has influence on whether or not we drop missiles.

[Bleacher Creature]

13. Does she care enough to push back on the refugee ban?

Call me crazy, but I'm guessing that her "concern" only goes so far.

[smirkymonkey]

14. Whatever Ivanka wants, Daddy gives it to her.

[JPZenger]

15. Trump: I didn't want to attack Syria, but I had to stop Ivanka's tears

I can imagine Trump thinking this.

[SummerSnow]

16. Ivanka is the Chief of Staff

[Oneironaut]

17. Foolish decision, just like most decisions made by emotion.

Was this strike in the interest of ordinary Americans? Of course not. It only satisfied a thirst for revenge - the harbinger of terrible decisions.

[asiliveandbreathe]

18. This whole family is evil, through their privileged lens of the world they

feel emboldened to speak out on anything..this is what having so much $$ does to people..to make no sense in what they say..this their privileged lens of the world...I have mine, screw you mentality..the words by Eric qusay sound so hollow

Just one question, what the hell good have any of them done for anyone? -

Malala invites them to visit a refugee camp....they could do it in a NY minute..will they? - Of course not..

[jrthin]

20. The whole family disgust me. nt
