Eric Trump’s recent claims about former President Donald Trump’s rally attendance numbers have stirred online ridicule, as netizens challenge the accuracy of his statements. In a recent appearance on Fox Business, Eric boasted about the turnout at a Georgia rally, stating, “I was just with him in Georgia. I mean, we had 35,000 people, we filled up a stadium.
The biggest crowd you could possibly imagine.” However, the venue in question, a standard arena, has a maximum capacity of only about 13,000 people. Users on X (formerly Twitter) were quick to react. As OK! Magazine highlighted, one user posted, “Eric Trump on Fox Business claims that Trump drew 35,000 people for his speech Wednesday in Georgia.
The arena he spoke at has a capacity of 13,000 so.” Another user added, “They lie about everything. All day and night. Big or small. Meaningless or meaningful. It’s f—— insane.” Another comment criticized the family’s approach, writing, “Yes. I think it’s their platform mandate: lie, lie, and lie some more.
Nothing is too outlandish or crazy. Keep up the lies until people start believing them. Then we got them!” Eric’s praise for his father didn’t stop with crowd sizes; he also commended Donald Trump’s performance at a Bloomberg interview held at the Economic Club of Chicago.
As per The Independent, During this appearance, the former president wandered off-topic, rehashing old grievances and revisiting the debunked “birther” conspiracy regarding former President Barack Obama. Despite Trump’s unpredictable commentary, Eric described his father’s focus in glowing terms. “My father has never been better than he is right now. He is so locked in.
He is working so incredibly hard,” Eric said on Fox Business. “You saw what he did with Bloomberg today at that conference… the entire place – and a place that you wouldn’t have otherwise thought would have been friendly to him – was literally eating out of his hands.”
While Eric portrays his father as “on point,” the elder Trump’s recent behaviors, including spontaneous dancing to his rally playlist, have fueled skepticism about his focus and predictability. Social media users openly questioned Eric’s depiction, with one X user describing the Bloomberg interview as “a dementia disaster.”
Trump loyalists, such as Stephen Miller, have joined Eric in applauding the Bloomberg interview as a defining moment, but critics argue these public appearances only highlight Donald Trump’s increasingly erratic style. As Eric continues to assert his father’s competence and appeal, online reactions suggest that skepticism around these claims is growing.
