Watch: Eric Trump Condemns Fraud Ruling

Can you imagine how frustrating it would be to have to watch these liberals constantly come after your family?

Constantly throwing accusations and defaming your family?

Knowing full well that they have nothing. Zero.

And now imagine these attacks coming from a people that your family helped.

You helped build their parks, their town, their city.

And now they view you has Public Enemy #1.

On top of that they’re demanding you pay 1/3 of a billion dollars.

Talk about betrayal!

That’s what was going through Eric Trump’s mind.

New York had betrayed his family.

.@EricTrump: "My father never gives up. He's the toughest guy I've ever met in my entire life and he's hell-bent on winning. And we are going to win in November… If he wasn’t the front-runner for president of the United States right now, they wouldn’t be doing this." pic.twitter.com/LgIbyxiwmF

The Hill reports:

Eric Trump slammed the nearly $355 million fine levied on his father, former President Trump, by New York Judge Arthur Engoron Friday in the civil fraud trial, calling it “horribly sad.”

“My father built a skyline of New York City. And this is the thanks he gets for doing absolutely nothing wrong, not a dollar of financial loss? The exact opposite, hundreds of millions of dollars in financial gain,” the younger Trump said Friday evening on Fox News’s “The Ingraham Angle.”

“Every single witness testified we have nothing to do with this. They went in, witness after witness, this is not what they did in the company. It didn’t matter to this guy. You know, we were trophies on a wall for this guy,” he added. “This is the state of New York.”

Eric Trump’s rebuke of the Empire State comes hours after the former president was ordered to pay more than $355 million for conspiring to inflate and deflate his net worth to receive tax and insurance benefits. Engoron had already found Trump, and his top executives — including Eric Trump and his oldest son Donald Trump Jr., who serve as executive vice presidents of the Trump Organization — liable for fraud before the months-long trial began.

The verdict is less than the $370 million that Attorney General Letitia James (D) requested. However, once interest is applied, the office said the fine could reach about $450 million.

“I caution anybody. I caution anybody even thinking about moving to New York to just be careful. This is not the state that my father grew up in. This is not the state that we grew up in,” he told guest host Jeanine Pirro.

Here’s a clip from our good friend on X. Thanks for trimming this down for me haha!

(I wonder what country his IP is from? Don’t these people have anything better to do than bash Trump 24/7 on X? Who’s paying them?)

NY Post adds:

“The best thing I ever did was get out of New York,” said Trump, who has since relocated to Jupiter, Fla.

He called the state and city a “hopeless place” and condemning Engoron for prejudging the Trump family before the trial officially started.

“It was a setup from the very beginning… [Engoron]; the animosity; the way he looked at my father in the courthouse was horrible. I’ve never seen such hatred in anybody’s eyes before.”

Trump, who is also president of Trump Winery in Virginia, underlined that the banks who had underwritten the millions of dollars in loans scrutinized by James and Engoron never claimed to be a victim of Donald Trump’s purportedly skewed property valuations.

He said German financial titan Deutsche Bank asserted the Trumps paid their debts on time and the institution made millions in revenue from his family’s business.

“Every single [bank] has called us a platinum borrower; again, never [had] a default,” he said, noting the real issue is with James, who pledged to be a “real pain in his a–” to the then-president.
