Eric Trump, son of former President Donald Trump, went on Fox News to complain.
It seems that is what the Trump family is best at, as Eric complained about the state of supply chains. He somehow blames current President Joe Biden for toys being stuck on ships for Christmas.
However, his bluster left much to be desired.

Why is Eric Trump ordering Christmas gifts from China? Isn't he the 'Made in America' guy? 😜

I hope Eric's kids don't watch his interviews, because he just told them that Santa & his reindeer don't bring their Christmas presents. Container ships do. "Daddy, what happened to Santa's sleigh?"=="He changed it into a container ship".

Most people who listened to his whiny rant on Fox News didn't believe the middle Trump son, especially since his grasp of history is more than a little shaky.
Back in 2017, Forbes reported that the Eric Trump Foundation, the charity organization that claimed it was donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to help children with cancer, was actually spending its money on Donald Trump's golf courses.
The Trump family is known for using their charities as tax safe havens to move money around, eventually ensuring the funds end up in their own pockets. But Eric Trump's promise that his charity was donating the money to a children's cancer hospital and then funneling it to his dad's business was particularly heinous.
Which is likely why no one believed his alligator tears about children's Christmas gifts.
Lets see, Eric Trump is concerned about kids Christmas presents in container ships. Oh, that's right, he funneled money into his poppies golf courses instead of going to child CANCER patience's. Daddy raised him in his image. Another crooked loser asshole

I guess Eric has finally discovered that Santa Claus isn't real.

- Unemployment lower than any analysis thought it would be for at least another year.
- A $1 Trillion infrastructure deal that Trump promised but never came close to getting done.
- A Stock market at an all-time high.
And all Eric Trump can cry about are “Christmas presents."

As some have pointed out, they've been able to buy gifts for their loved ones just fine.
The issues with the supply chain have been caused by a number of factors, not the least of which is a global pandemic that created far worse problems while Eric's father was president.
Eric's lack of understanding of supply chains and business in general led to a lot of online humor.
There's Chinese coal in one of those containers destined for #EricTrump 's Christmas stocking. https://t.co/kxzjGmjJoJ

Why is Eric Trump buying Christmas presents from overseas? China? Instead the Trumps could BUY AMERICAN gifts like true-blooded Americans and have them held hostage by DeJoy at the US Post Office instead!

I don't think Eric Trump has ever received a Christmas present from his dad.

Eric's reputation for hypocritical takes is legendary. Just last month, he tried to rip President Biden for spending some time at home during a national crisis.
However, he seemed to conveniently forget that his father was infamous for doing the same, spending more time on the golf course than being the president.
