Dems using bug vs. dad, Eric sniffs

As the coronavirus death toll creeps up toward 90,000 Americans, Eric Trump suggested Democrats are using the pandemic to sideline his father’s famed #MAGA reelection rallies.

“They are taking away Donald Trump’s greatest tool, which is being able to go into an arena and fill it,” the presidential son said on Fox News. “You watch, they’ll milk it every single day between now and [Election Day].”

Eric Trump (inset) said Democrats would drop their objection to reopening American businesses after the election is over, regardless of the deadly virus.

“And guess what, after Nov. 3, coronavirus will magically all of a sudden go away and disappear and everybody will be able to reopen,” he said.

The “magic” line is reminiscent of one of President

Trump’s mostridiculed statements in the early days of the pandemic.

He told one of his last political rallies before social-distancing measures were imposed that the virus was a seasonal ailment that would “go away like magic” when the weather turned warm in the spring.

That turned out to be a foolhardy claim. Even with a near-national shutdown and other drastic measures, the punishing toll has continued to rise and America is on pace to reach 100,000 deaths by Memorial Day weekend.

Meanwhile, Ivanka Trump retweeted Elon Musk’s apparent exhortation to Americans to resist the restrictions designed to limit the spread of the pandemic. But the Tesla carmaker appears to be talking about the response to the coronavirus, which he considers to be heavy-handed.

The tech entrepreneur, wrote on Twitter on Sunday that people should “take the red pill,” which means admitting an unpleasant truth.
