Eric Trump Gets Rude Awakening After Brazen Claim About Dad's 'Stamina'
Eric Trump, son of Donald Trump, is getting a blunt fact-check on social media after bragging about the former president’s energy levels.
“His stamina, Maria, I’ve never seen anything like it in my life,” he told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday. “I’ve just never seen it.”
The elder Trump has been on trial in New York in the Stormy Daniels hush money case, the first of four criminal trials he’s facing, and observers say he keeps falling asleep.
Eric Trump: His stamina, I've never seen anything like it in my life. He'll be in trial all day long only to step out and do events at bodegas and go to Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. The whole world knows his toughness pic.twitter.com/kcLgxCdpaa

Yet the son of the former president claimed those snoozy courtroom appearances are proof of his “stamina,” adding that some days after the trial he also does events, such as an appearance at a bodega across town.
“The guy is really a remarkable human being and I love him to death and I’m proud of him and I think the whole world knows his backbone and his toughness,” Eric Trump said.
Critics on X (formerly Twitter) were standing by with a fact-check:

The whole world knows he napped during his own criminal trial.

He fell asleep in the courtroom the first 4 days out of 5. https://t.co/FEmMYDkVgT

He naps daily in court. And now visiting a bodega is considered an event ? Alternate reality

New Yorkers will be amused that nepo-kid's idea of stamina is stopping by a Bodega after a 7 hour day sitting on your ass and a USSS escort drive across town. https://t.co/BdceHkfjc7

He cried the whole time about how hard it was to sit in court, he fell asleep repeatedly, complained how cold it was constantly, played golf last Sunday, played golf last Wednesday, played golf yesterday, and will play golf today. https://t.co/oQiIDhNS8G

He played golf on the day court wasn’t in session. https://t.co/xKF6IhjHEd

Is he talking about the same guy who sleeps in court during his criminal trial?

Oh, please.
He complained every day about how hard it was for him to sit in a chair, fell asleep every day, complained he was cold every day- and then every day he wasn't in court,... he went golfing. https://t.co/uXnNqFmoUk— Roshan Rinaldi (@Roshan_Rinaldi) April 28, 2024
His stamina? He falls asleep in court and cancelled a campaign event because of a little rain the whole world knows what a little weak man he is. https://t.co/B2Aw9CWNzo
