Eric Trump threw a tantrum on Fox News that seemed to be more about redeeming his name and losing money than his father.
Eric Trump said on Fox News:
You have a company like ours that had paid over 300 million in taxes to a city. My father built the New York City skyline. And this is the thanks he receives for having done absolutely nothing wrong. Not a dollar financial loss, the exact opposite of hundreds of millions of dollars of financial gain.
And as far as Don and I are concerned, we, every single witness testified, we had nothing to do with any of this. They went witness after witness. That’s not what they did in the company. This guy didn’t care. You know, we were trophies hanging on the wall for this guy. You know, this is New York state. I warn everyone. I warn anyone thinking of moving to New York to be careful.

This is not the state my father grew up in. This is not the state we grew up in. This is a politically armed system. And that’s terribly sad, Janine. And I promise you that we will fight this thing and we will win in the appellate division because, honestly, it’s a really shameful thing.
It’s so egregious. I promise you we will be turned around.

Let’s be honest, Eric Trump may have been talking about his father, but he was more interested in covering his back and money. Trump’s wealth is on paper. It has been suggested that the Trumps don’t have much money, and with independent oversight within the Trump Organization, it has become much more difficult for the family to use the business as a front to line their pockets.
The odds are that the Trumps will not win on appeal because the physical evidence of their fraud is overwhelming.
Eric Trump was furious that the New York case ruined his food stamp.
Because with the Trumps it’s always about money.
