Eric Trump set the internet ablaze Tuesday night after unloading on NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo in a fiery live interview that exposed media hypocrisy and defended President Donald Trump’s record against false attacks.
Appearing to promote his new book Under Siege: My Family’s Fight to Save Our Nation, the president’s son erupted after Cuomo repeated the tired media narrative that Trump was “going after” political opponents—just like the Biden administration.
Eric didn’t hold back. He called the claim “ironic and foolish,” and tore into Cuomo’s double standards, turning the tables on the mainstream media in real time.
Eric Trump: ‘Did We Ever Raid Biden’s Home?’
“Chris, let’s get real,” Eric Trump shot back. “Did we raid Joe Biden’s home? Did we try to bankrupt him? Did we weaponize every attorney general and district attorney against him? Did we make up a fake dossier, censor him online, or strip him off the ballot? Of course not.”
He continued, voice rising: “My father didn’t go after his enemies—he served this country. Meanwhile, they’ve come after us every single day for eight years. They’ve tried to destroy our business, our name, and our family, just because we fight for America.”
That passionate defense lit up social media as conservatives praised Eric for saying what millions of Americans already believe — that the left’s “justice system” has become a political weapon.
Eric Calls Out Cuomo’s Hypocrisy
Trump didn’t miss the chance to remind Chris Cuomo that the same “machine” that went after the Trump family also went after his.
“They destroyed your brother’s career. They tried to destroy your life,” Eric told Cuomo bluntly. “The same people that hunted us hunted you. You should know better than anyone how corrupt these people are.”
Cuomo looked stunned as Eric continued: “Don’t sit here and pretend this isn’t happening. You’ve seen it with your own eyes.”
The Real Double Standard
Eric Trump then laid out a list of facts ignored by the media:
“Did we raid Biden’s home? Did we put him through 91 felony counts? Did we censor him from Twitter or Facebook? Did we send the FBI to intimidate him? No. But they did all that to us — and still couldn’t stop us.”
He added that Democrats and their media allies “tried to erase the Trump name from every building in New York” and “destroy everything we built.”
“Why? Because my father exposed their corruption,” Eric said. “They don’t fear Donald Trump because of his power — they fear him because he tells the truth.”
A Message That Hit Home With Millions
For millions of Americans watching, Eric Trump’s passionate defense of his father struck a deep chord. Many conservatives saw it as a long-overdue pushback against years of lies, censorship, and media manipulation.
Online reactions flooded in, with supporters saying Eric “said what every patriot is thinking” — that the system is rigged, and the media’s credibility is collapsing.
As the 2024 election season intensifies, one thing is crystal clear: the Trump family isn’t running from the fight — they’re leading it.
And the lying media? They just got shut up, once again.
