'We've got some stuff up our sleeve': Donald Trump's daughter-in-law hints that Republican nominee has an 'October surprise' to drop on Hillary Clinton

Donald Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump, married to middle son Eric, hinted on 'Fox & Friends' this morning that the Republican nominee may be holding onto an 'October surprise' to drop on Hillary Clinton.

'Well there's still a couple days left in October,' said Lara Trump. 'We've got some stuff up our sleeve.'

With 15 days left until Election Day, Lara Trump – appearing on the program with Lynne Patton, the vice president of the Eric Trump Foundation – said that she and the family were 'feeling great,' while talking about the tough realities of October, always a brutal month in presidential politics.

'Well, listen, like he said, people have been preparing us for October and the last couple weeks leading up to the election and for quite some time,' she said, echoing comments her husband made yesterday on 'This Week' with George Stephanopoulos.

'I think we all knew it would be tough, but this is new to all of us,' she continued.

47. Eric Trump Foundation Spent Hundreds of Thousands at Family-Owned Golf Courses

Meanwhile, we have this October NON-SURPRISE:

Eric Trump Foundation Spent Hundreds of Thousands at Family-Owned Golf Courses

Eric Trump Foundation Gave Directly To Donald Trump’s Company

An analysis of The Eric Trump Foundation’s financial documents reveal the charity funneled cash to Donald Trump.

Amidst sensational headlines of leaked tax returns and audio, a low-key analysis by The Daily Beast largely avoided the spotlight. A careful review of Eric Trump’s charity revealed the eponymous foundation spent large sums of money at fundraising events on Donald Trump’s golf courses—$881,779 in total. In 2013, $100,000 went directly to Donald Trump himself. He received a further $88,000 in 2014. ..............

The Clinton campaign hasn't used all their damaging oppo research and will probably beat them to the punch just like they sprung the Billy Bush and Trump audio tape out before the Wikileaks email drop.

The Clinton camp has outsmarted them just about every step of the way.

So they simply haven't a clue how powerful and important early voting is. And how many vote early where they can. Plus, these are people remarkably removed from the actual political process. As I recall, back when NY had its primary, Ivanka and Eric weren't able to vote for dad because they weren't properly registered Republicans. Granted, NYS required an incredibly early change in voter registration, six months before their primary, but still.

If they really had anything of consequence wouldn't there be someone in the campaign smart enough to tell them hey New York is not all that matters? Surely Conway is that smart.

Looks like the "children" have decided they don't need any of that Trump money. The more they double down, triple down, and double dog dare America with their miserable half baked lies - the less the Trump brand is worth after he is beaten in November.

Frankly I'd love to see them all out selling pencils on the street after this is all over.

50. A couple of things
Mon Oct 24, 2016, 02:15 PM
Oct 2016

1. The Daily Mail is not really a respected source of news. Since they are british and not well know, people in the US assume they are a real news organization but they are a supermarket tabloid like The National Enquirer.

2. If Trump had some kind of real october surprise they would have released it by now. They have no impulse control and releasing it a day or two before the election wouldnt do shit. It takes time for news to sink in and they would want to get ahead of the early voting.

3. There is no way Trumps team of incompetents and sexual predators would be able to find something but the media and republican party couldnt.

4. Why would the wife of the son of the candidiate be the one to release any october surprise?


Nothing in this story makes any sense. This reminds me of the National Enquirer stories i see when i am grocery shopping. I read that Hillary was going to die of cancer in less than 6 months. That was printed over a year ago. They got jack shit. Just 15 days of flailing before this shitshow of a campaign is finally put out of its misery.

The National Enquirer has a story about some guy who was a "fixer" (according to the Enquirer) for the Clintons. This guy is on Hannity tonight. This may be the story they are trying to spin.
