Eric Trump, the son of President-elect Donald Trump, asserted over the weekend that “at least 5,000 children” had died due to an effort to verify the election outcome in Wisconsin.

In a tweet on Sunday, Eric Trump said that the “sad truth” was that “the cost Of Stein/Clinton’s #Wisconsin vote recount could have saved at least 5,000 children’s lives.”

The tweet included a link to a Forbes column by conservative writer Chris Conover, who argues that Green Party candidate Jill Stein should have redirected the $3.5 million spent on the recount to malaria prevention for children.

Many commenters on Twitter fired back at Trump, noting that thousands of children could also be saved with the millions of dollars the U.S. government is paying for Donald Trump’s security in New York.

@EricTrump @Forbes how many lives would your father's security costs in NY save? How about his big tax writeoffs? You should be ashamed.

1. How many children's lives could have been saved

for the cost of Donald Trump's gold toilet? Scrape the gold leaf off all the stuff in his faux-Baroque-whorehouse apartment, sell it and donate the money to children's charities; then we'll talk.

Unless, of course, it's all from a few cans of Rust-Oleum gold spray paint, obtainable for about $4.00 a can at your local hardware store...

2. Or him paying taxes those 18 years he skipped!

[hamsterjill]

13. This!!!!!!

n/t

[Sunriser13]

9. Hey, they warn you about inhaling the fumes from that stuff...

Maybe contributed to the family brain-damage syndrome?

[tclambert]

14. Ooh, you gave me an idea. In honor of President Trump, I'm gonna start spray-painting things gold

around my house, so I can be just as ostentatious as he is. I think I'll start with the wastepaper baskets, then some 50-cent Bic pens, paper clips, plastic salt and pepper shakers, toenail clippers, etc. The idea will be to make cheap things LOOK expensive. I think that really captures the spirit of Trumpism.

18. If you decide to spray-paint your toilet gold,

be sure you wait a good long time before you use it, or you'll be stuck there.

I wonder if that ever happened to Trump?

3. Deflection move with no merit

But, we can play that game, too. We will save more children in the next four years if Trump isn't President.

And we will probably be right about that.

4. You know, I always thought that people like Barbara Bush were out of touch with reality....

Eric Trump makes Barbara Bush look like a social worker in Bangalore.

7. i know!

she of the infamous "beautiful mind."

aargh

[BlueMTexpat]

11. Absolutely! eom

[Cosmocat]

16. They were mere out of touch plutocrats

This country has ushered in a new era of governance by complete psychopaths.

5. This is rich from a guy who...

like his father, spends charity money on himself.

[George II]

8. That and spends tens of thousands of dollars to go to Africa to kill innocent animals for sport!

[Coyotl]

6. He is signalling, under trump there will be no more starving children in the world.

This is a reeeally goooood thing, can't wait to see them go to work on this until we have a new world order with all healthy children everywhere.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Eric Trump doesn't even look intelligent

A bit like a Monty Python upper class twit.

?t=36

[tclambert]

12. So he's recommending she give the money to the Clinton Foundation?

Fighting malaria is one of the Clinton Foundation's main activities. Of course, if she donated to the Trump Foundation . . . no children would be saved from malaria.

15. This proves it (again)

There most certainly has to be other dimensions wherein alternate realities exist. Being filthy rich affords you some sort of bridge between them that one can traverse back and forth on.

17. Thank you, Son of Twitler

The rotten apple didn't fall far from the diseased tree.

[lonestarnot]

21. Twitler! Douche doesn't fall far from the bag!

Ridiculous

I like this response to the nitwit's tweet:

"Dude, shut your hole. The only children you care about are your own"
