Eric Trump got himself into yet another Twitter pickle on Friday, when he mused that “hatred makes people blind to facts.”
Hatred makes people blind to facts

Tweeters were quick to note the ironic nature of President Donald Trump’s son’s post and reacted in much the same way as they did to his previous tweets about “snakes” and “disloyal people.”
Can't wait for @MerriamWebster to define "irony" tomorrow.

When are you going to tell daddy?

You have GOT to be kidding me

You are obviously missing the sense of "irony" gene. You do realize this can read as a critique of your father and his followers. You dad is such a stranger to facts that news organizations now have a daily tracker of the # of lies he has uttered,since taking office 4,500 (+). 🙈

Is that why @POTUS has no regard for the facts?

Does your dad know you are talking about him? Are you the anonymous op-ed writer?
