Donald’s son gets suckered

- Rich Schapiro

“This story is totally false and ridiculous,” read a statement on Trump’s website. “The picture is one of thousands taken out of respect for people asking to have their picture taken with Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump does not know this person, does not remember this person and would have no interest in ever knowing her.”

Trump said Hillary Clinton was behind the latest accusation and the claims of 11 other women who said Trump groped them. The White House hopeful vowed Saturday to sue them all once the presidenti­al race is done. He called the women “liars.”

Drake, during the Saturday news conference in Los Angeles, said she told others about her run-in with Trump.

“I did relate my experience immediatel­y afterward to some friends,” Drake said. “Out of respect to the other parties involved and their families, I will not share their names.”

Allred urged Trump to follow through on his threat of legal action.

“Be careful what you wish for, Mr. Trump,” said Allred. “If you sue the accusers, the lawyers who represent these women will have the opportunit­y to depose you. Your latest threat is an admission of hopelessne­ss.”

Before Drake, the most recent woman to charge Trump was wellness expert Karena Virginia, who accused him of brazenly touching her breast outside the U.S. Open in 1998.

Drake said it was hearing the stories of Virginia and other women — along with the infamous “Access Hollywood” video — that convinced her to go public with her Trump story.

“I am choosing to share my personal exchange in light of the recently released tapes to lend my voice, strength and support to other women who are coming forward,” she said. AS GETTYSBURG Addresses go, it fell short of “four score and seven years ago.” Donald Trump, speaking Saturday near the site of Abraham Lincoln’s famed Civil War speech, promised to sue each of the 12 women who have accused him of being a sexual predator once the presidenti­al race ends. “Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign,” declared the Republican White House hopeful. “Total fabricatio­n. The events never happened. Never. All of these liars will be sued after the election is over . . . I so look forward to it.” The self-proclaimed billionair­e made his vow in the same Pennsylvan­ia town where Lincoln delivered his historic “Gettysburg Address” on Nov. 19, 1863 — and even referenced his GOP predecesso­r. “President Lincoln served in a time of division like we’ve never seen before,” said Trump before mentioning the “hallowed ground” of the great Civil War battle. Trump’s promised courtroom takedown of his accusers came before he laid out plans for his first 100 days in the White House. He vowed to produce jobs, aggressive­ly screen immigrants and refugees, and to impose term limits for members of Congress. LOOKS LIKE Eric Trump has a muy mal grasp of Spanish.

The Donald’s middle son was played for a fool at a North Carolina rally when he posed for a photo with a young woman wearing a “Latinas Contra Trump” shirt.

“No one at the rally realized my shirt said AGAINST tr*mp,” a giddy Annie Cardelle, 23, tweeted along with the photo. “Congrats, y’all played yourselves.”

None of the 200 people packed into Thelma’s Down Home Country Cooking in Salisbury on Friday night — including Eric Trump and his wife, Lara — seemed to notice the not-so-subtly dressed demonstrat­or in their midst.

“We thought someone was going to say, ‘Get out of here. Leave,’ ” Cardelle told the Daily News. She attended with her sister Ceci Cardelle, who did not wear a similar top. “No one asked about it. No one noticed.”
