Eric Trump was widely mocked after he accidentally blasted his father, former President Donald Trump, during an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity.

Eric Trump had meant to call out the media for censorship—and clearly did not intend to let out a perfect Freudian slip in the process.

The verbal slip occurred as Eric falsely claimed that the media had been censoring his father since the beginning of his presidential campaign.

He said:

"They've been censoring my father since the minute he went down the escalator. Anything they put out, he would censor."

You can hear what he said in the video below.

Critics and observers quickly seized on the comment, labeling it a Freudian slip that unintentionally revealed Donald Trump's attitude toward media coverage.


Eric Trump's grievances emerged after Hannity reminded him that Fox News had aired his father's New Hampshire GOP primary victory speech in full, unlike CNN and MSNBC, which cut away for fact-checks.

However, critics found these complaints hollow, pointing out that Donald Trump had received billions of dollars' worth of free media coverage since declaring his political ambitions.

A 2016 analysis revealed that Trump garnered nearly $2 billion in free media attention during the presidential campaign, surpassing the combined value of media coverage received by all his Republican rivals.

The study, conducted by The New York Times using data from mediaQuant and SMG Delta, indicated that Trump received over six times the amount of free coverage compared to his closest competitor, Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz. Moreover, he obtained more than two-and-a-half times the coverage of Hillary Clinton, his Democratic opponent.

The former President himself has a history of attempting to control media portrayals. Reports suggest that during his presidency, Trump sought to censor late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel over mocking jokes. Additionally, he hinted at seeking revenge on MSNBC for its coverage if he were to regain the White House.

Lisa Kudrow Just Sounded Off On The Gross Behind-The-Scenes Treatment Her Female 'Friends' Costars Were Subjected To

Two decades after Friends defined a generation of sitcom television, Lisa Kudrow is pulling back the curtain on what she describes as a “mean” and at times inappropriate behind-the-scenes culture that didn’t treat its female stars equally.

While the NBC hit sold audiences on the easy chemistry of six tight-knit friends, Kudrow talked about a writers’ room dominated by men and shaped by behavior that often crossed the line. In a recent interview with the Times, Kudrow pointed to an overwhelmingly male writers’ room of 12–15 people as a key force shaping that dynamic.

The White House Just Tried To Rebrand ICE Agents As 'NICE Agents' With Hilariously Propagandistic Graphic

The White House was criticized for sharing an image to rebrand ICE agents as "NICE" agents, including a poster of an agent kneeling next to a child that has been condemned as blatant propaganda.

The decision came after President Donald Trump shared a post from a supporter urging him to change the name of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to National Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which would change the acronym from ICE to NICE.
