THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION is considering a set of proposals developed by Blackwater founder Erik Prince and a retired CIA officer — with assistance from Oliver North, a key figure in the Iran-Contra scandal — to provide CIA Director Mike Pompeo and the White House with a global, private spy network that would circumvent official U.S. intelligence agencies, according to several current and former U.S. intelligence officials and others familiar with the proposals. The sources say the plans have been pitched to the White House as a means of countering “deep state” enemies in the intelligence community seeking to undermine Donald...

Trump Organization executive vice president Eric Trump told Fox News Monday that Democratic front-runner Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has achieved relatively in close to four decades as an elected official at the local and federal levels. "He [Sanders] entered government in 1981 [as mayor of Burlington, Vt.] if you can possibly believe it," President Trump's second son told "Hannity." "He has three accomplishments, two of which are naming post offices, and this is the guy who's going to issue transformational change." "He always gets out in the speeches, Sean, you know, he says Washington needs transformational change," Eric Trump added....

Last year, Eric Trump was asked about Secret Service protection at Trump Organization properties. “If my father travels, they stay at our properties for free,” he said. “So everywhere that he goes, if he stays at one of his places, the government actually spends, meaning it saves a fortune because if they were to go to a hotel across the street, they’d be charging them $500 a night, whereas, you know we charge them, like $50.” You will be stunned to learn this is not remotely true. Instead, as the indefatigable David Fahrenthold and three colleagues at The Washington Post...

Eric Trump, son of President Trump, says the bias and negativity against his dad will help get him reelected in 2020 on 'Watters' World.'

Abramson, other Twitter blue-check "journalists" and a bunch of Trump-haters on Twitter are spreading the newest hoax around to damage President Trump: Seth Abramson:The SENATE MINORITY LEADER didn't know about this historically dangerous strike beforehand. But it appears ERIC TRUMP—who has no role in government—may have known about it on December 31. Polititweet has confirmed this was a real Eric Trump tweet.

I am keenly aware of how fortunate I was to be born the son of one of the wealthiest and most well known businessmen in America. I am also the first to admit that things are different when you grow up as a Trump. Anyone who has paid attention to the news, especially since my father announced his run for the White House, knows the media has attacked every member of my family viciously and given us anything but kind treatment. The adult “children” in our family are certainly not off limits. We did after all fight alongside our father...

Eric Trump touched off a heated Twitter conversation about the US media on Friday, after he outed a Washington Post reporter who’d apparently been email-blasting Trump Organization employees, looking for whistleblowers. The kerfuffle began when the president’s son somehow got a copy of an email reporter David Fahrenthold sent to a Trump employee, indicating how to reach him on encrypted apps and leak internal documents safely. “If you ever want to get in touch with me, I’d be glad to talks ‘on background’, meaning I’d never use your name in any story, or tell anyone else that we spoke,” Fahrenthold wrote...

MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell tried to weasel his way out of reporting fake news about President Trump colluding with Russian oligarchs, by ‘apologizing’ on air Thursday night. However, Eric Trump says it’s too late, and warned O’Donnell that he will face legal action over the slur. O’Donnell essentially did the bare minimum in an effort to avoid legal consequences, saying “I should not have said it on-air or posted it on Twitter. I was wrong to do so.” “Last night on this show, I discussed information that wasn’t ready for reporting. I repeated statements a single source told me about...

President Trump is now a grandfather for the 10th time. Eric Trump and his wife, Lara Trump, welcomed a baby girl, Carolina Dorothy Trump, on Monday. Eric Trump posted a photo of the new family of four to Twitter on Tuesday morning.

VIDEO Eric Trump charged that the mainstream media is hiding the fact that President Trump's jar at the Iowa State Fair Corn Kernel Poll is overflowing with kernels. Is he right? Well, he challenged us to Google this which I did and it turned out that Eric Trump is exactly right. As of now (August 14), you can't find any picture of Trump's jar at the Corn Kernel Jar. Fortunately the Iowa State Fair lasts a few more days until August 18 so hopefully someone will take a picture of that jar and post it to the Web for all...

The owner of the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, penned an op-ed in the Washington Post Friday defending a Chicago server who spit on Eric Trump. Stephanie Wilkinson, who co-owns the restaurant known for kicking out former press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, wrote in the op-ed while “no one in the restaurant industry condones the physical assault of a patron,” Trump administration officials can be targeted for assault and battery in public places. Wilkinson added: Restaurants are now part of the soundstage for our ongoing national spectacle. Whether the bar or restaurant serves merely as the backdrop, as in...

Stephanie Wilkinson is the owner of the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, VA. That’s the restaurant that refused service to White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders last June. Friday, the Washington Post published a piece in which Wilkinson offers her thoughts on the recent spitting incident involving Eric Trump. You’ll be shocked to learn that Wilkinson is for it (or at least willing to defend it) though it takes her a while to admit it. After recounting what happened to Trump, she writes, “no one in the industry condones the physical assault of a patron.” That seems sensible but we’re...

Democratic Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has condemned a cocktail lounge employee who Eric Trump says spit on him. Lightfoot said Thursday she had spoken to Trump, the son of Republican President Donald Trump, and that it was "very gracious of him" not to press charges after the incident Tuesday night at The Aviary in Chicago's trendy West Loop area. Eric Trump has said the U.S. Secret Service took the employee into custody. The worker has been placed on leave. Lighfoot said during a news conference that the incident was "repugnant" and that "you cross the line when you assault someone....

As some Republican lawmakers and members of the Trump administration have been kicked out of restaurants or harassed while dining out, Eric Trump said Tuesday that a restaurant employee spit on him during a visit to Chicago.“For a party that preaches tolerance, this once again demonstrates they have very little civility,” he told Breitbart. “When somebody is sick enough to resort to spitting on someone, it just emphasizes a sickness and desperation and the fact that we’re winning.”The incident was brought to light by NBC 5 Chicago political reporter Mary Ann Ahern, who said it took place at the Aviary...

Lara and Eric Trump are expecting their second child later this year, effectively making President Trump a grandfather of 10. Lara Trump, 36, who is the president’s 2020 senior campaign adviser, made the announcement on her Instagram page early Wednesday. “BIG NEWS: (Luke & Charlie & Ben) can’t wait to become brothers this August!!” she wrote in a post that accompanied an image of her family. “We’re all very excited to add one more to our family!”

Eric Trump said his father should declare a national emergency to build a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border. “I want him to declare an emergency,” Trump told Fox News Tuesday night. The president has said he will consider using a national emergency declaration to override congressional discussions and obtain the money for a border wall by executive action. Democrats proposed a bill, which was passed and signed, that temporarily reopened the government for three weeks while discussions continued over President Trump’s demand of funding for a physical barrier at the southern border. The president had scuttled a bipartisan spending deal...
