Eric Trump, the son of former President Donald Trump, made a bold analogy that raised eyebrows and prompted widespread ridicule on social media.

Likening his family's assets to the iconic "Mona Lisa" painting by Leonardo da Vinci, Trump's assertion became the focal point of discussions surrounding the Trump Organization's ongoing civil fraud trial in New York.

The trial, initiated by New York Attorney General Letitia James, alleges that Donald Trump and his company consistently overvalued their assets for financial gain.

The presiding judge, Arthur Engoron, has already ruled that they committed fraud over an extended period. The trial delves into six additional allegations, including insurance fraud, as the Trump Organization faces legal scrutiny.

You can hear what Eric Trump said in the video below.

He said:

“Our assets are worth a fortune. They’re the Mona Lisas of the real estate world."
"You have a court that values Mar-a-Lago at $18 million. Give me a break."
"They're literally the laughingstock of the real estate community and frankly all of Florida because people know how much real estate values are."

Eric Trump was swiftly mocked for his statements.



Eric Trump has made outlandish claims about his family and the Trump Organization throughout the trial and last week made a fervent appeal on Fox News in the aftermath of his father's contentious testimony.

He directed his comments towards Attorney General James, urging her to consider the well-being of the "thousands" of blue-collar workers employed by the Trump Organization, who would be profoundly affected by the potential dissolution of the organization.

He staunchly maintained that there “was no crime” in the family business despite Judge Arthur Engoron's prior ruling indicating otherwise.

Engoron's September decision held the former President and his two adult sons liable for "persistent and repeated" fraud, leading to the revocation of the Trump Organization's business licenses and James seeking a $250 million penalty.

Hunter Biden had a question for the White House press corps over their in-the-moment reactions—or lack thereof—to the insults and slurs flung by MAGA Republican President Donald Trump at journalists, mostly women and especially Black women.

Biden appeared on The Jim Acosta Show alongside former CNN White House correspondent Acosta and contributing editor for Mediaite and former White House correspondent for AOL and The Daily Banter Tommy Christopher. The trio discussed the double standards surrounding Trump in both how he behaves and how the press approaches him and covers his words and actions.

Trump Ridiculed After Claiming He's Been President 'Three Times'—And Who Wants To Tell Him?

President Donald Trump had people rolling their eyes after he said in response to a reporter at the NATO summit that he'd been president "three times" and won "three elections."

Trump has been president twice and lost the 2020 general election to then-candidate Joe Biden. Since then, he has continued to push the baseless lie that the election was "stolen" from him. Trump's supporters eventually attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, in a failed bid to overturn the election results.

GOP Senator Dragged Over 'Blatantly Racist' Anti-China Campaign Ad Where She Smashes Fortune Cookies

Tennessee Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn was called out after releasing a campaign ad about cracking down on China by dramatically crumbling fortune cookies, a move that prompted critics to point out that fortune cookies aren't a Chinese invention at all.

In the ad, Blackburn appears seated in what resembles a stereotypical Chinese restaurant, surrounded by takeout boxes and hanging lanterns. Looking directly into the camera, she asks, "How hard am I gonna crack down on China? Well, here's a clue," before crushing several fortune cookies in her hands and letting the crumbs fall onto the table as a narrator begins to speak.
