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
— Eric Trump (@EricTrump) September 7, 2018
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?
— Ronald Hoff (@ronald59) September 7, 2018
Oh the irony!
— Kyle Lemus (@gulfcoastotter) September 7, 2018
Sounds like your family's mission statement!!
— Fran Langschultz (@rainmaker04) September 7, 2018
That is rich coming from you.😩

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 (+). 🙈

Did you tell your father and brother that!

smh subtweeting his own dad

Agreed. pic.twitter.com/eDHuamLdAs

Is that why @POTUS has no regard for the facts?
— Gerard D Cannie (@gdcannie) September 7, 2018
Tell your dad!
— Pieter (@PieterTroost83) September 7, 2018
Does your dad know you are talking about him? Are you the anonymous op-ed writer?
