'Unbelievable': Trump family expert reveals the president's callous and cruel treatment of one of hi

MATTHEW CHAPMAN, ALTERNET

Appearing on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” Monday night, reporter Emily Jane Fox argued that there’s something truly “unbelievable” about the way recent reports reveal President Donald Trump has treated his son Eric.

She was discussing the way the president reportedly directed Eric Trump to handle the legal response to the claims and lawsuit brought by Stormy Daniels, who says she had an affair with Donald Trump. Daniels sued to break a hush money contract she had signed, which has since become the center of campaign finance violations that the president’s former lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to in court. Cohen said he was directed to carry out the crime by the president himself during the 2016 campaign.

The Wall Street Journal first reported Eric Trump’s role in legal response to Daniels’ claims, which Fox has since confirmed. Eric Trump is currently heading up the Trump Organization along with his brother Donald Trump Jr., supposedly in their father’s absence from the business. However, there appears to be much less separation between the business and the White House than had been promised.

Fox, who has written a book on the Trump family, pointed out that the president’s involvement of Eric in the Daniels affair was a stunning move — one that shows a callousness and a disregard for his son’s wellbeing.

She explained: “If you’re the president, and you’re a parent, you’re going to stick your child in the middle of cleaning up something for the president of the United States that has to do with an affair your father had — allegedly — with a porn star four months after your half-brother was born. So not only are you potentially putting your son in whatever legal implications could come out of this—”

I believe trump will throw his kids under the bus, even the Czarina when shit hits the fan. trump's only loyalty is to himself.

I can't wait until he describes Eric as the doorman for trump tower. Don Jr as the janitor and the Czarina as the lady who buys my hairspray. All while Melanie is looking on, with adoring eyes.

from his fathers misdeeds. It's not like he isn't a part of this and doesn't know what's going on. He knows everything already.

And, he shoots big game for fun.

He's no child.

In fact, he probably tasked Eric w/ the job specifically with the goal of humiliating him. Because that is just the way he rolls. He's such a sadistic bastard. Even his own family isn't immune from his fiendishness.

... but how is this even a smart thing to do legally? If Cheeto was trying to save his own ass (we can assume that is the case) then why have a low-IQ young man with little experience handle it? It should be handled by the most ruthless and experienced pitbull lawyer you can find. Even Michael Cohen wasn't up to it as we've all learned, but at least Cohen has a law degree and some street-smarts. Eric Trump has neither.

One wonders why Cheeto didn't put Steve Bannon on this, who would have locked it down tight. Instead Eric is just a major fail.
