WASHINGTON, DC: The second son of President Donald Trump, Eric Trump, lashed out at Democrats, accusing them of always resorting to “cheating” because “they can’t run on policy.”

Eric is often seen defending his father and promoting him through social media posts, and he occasionally takes aim at Democrats. He claimed that Democrats tried to silence his father for years. 

Eric Trump says Democrats ‘cheat like hell’

Appearing on Newsmax on Wednesday, April 22, Eric Trump said that since Democrats can’t run on policy, they resort to cheating. "They've cheated the entire time. You know, they started by making up the Russia hoax," Eric said.

"They made up the dirty dossier. They were storming our house; they were raiding Mar-a-Lago.

"They indicted my father 91 times. They threw him off of Twitter. They threw him off of Facebook. They threw him off of Instagram. They threw him off of YouTube."

"You know why? Because they didn't want the man to have a voice. They wanted him to be in jail," he said. "They can't win on their policies. So what do they do? They cheat like hell," he said.

Eric Trump accuses Democrats of targeting families

Further criticizing Democrats over their strategy, Eric said, "They go after the family of their political opponents. They try to throw their political opponents in jail.

"They try and remove the First Amendment rights of their political opponents. They try and bankrupt their political opponents," he added. Eric also accused Democrats of gerrymandering in states like Illinois and Maryland to benefit politically.

"The reason they redrew lines in Texas is because 2.6 million people left California," he said.

"And you know where the vast majority of them went? They went to Texas to get the hell away from Gavin Newsom's ridiculous policies.

"But yet, they’ll rig Virginia as a way to offset those votes, even though you have a state that’s incredibly purple."

Eric Trump says Democrats failed New York City

Further questioning the administrative efficiency of Democrats, Eric said that the decline of his native New York City began under Democratic leadership, specifically Bill de Blasio.

"Crime went through the roof. Look at their tax policy," he said. "The greatest exodus in world history was the flight from New York to Florida and New York to North Carolina and so many other states because people couldn't take it anymore.

"You have these ridiculous things, all buses are going to be free and then you see that plan collapse this week because they can’t afford it," he added.
