President Donald Trump's second son with ex-wife Ivana Trump, Eric, made an appearance on the couch with the smile and nod crowd at Fox & Friends.

But on a day when Fox News was reporting his father's disapproval rating was at an all-time high and news of an economic downturn was everywhere, what was foremost on the middle Trump son's mind?

Watch him lodge his complaints here.

To be fair, Eric wasn't the only one who thought corn kernels in jars were his daddy's biggest accomplishment of late.


However someone always has to rain on their parade with stuff like math.




Most people found little sympathy for Eric's outrage.


















The 1984 film Children of the Corn, based on a Stephen King short story, is available here.

Prince Harry Had The Perfect Response When Asked If He Can Do An American Accent—And It Was Actually Pretty Good

Americans are fascinated by hearing people from other countries "drop" their accents and emulate an American one.

For example, it's always interesting to see a British or Australian actor in a movie where they're portraying an American character, but while they might veil their natural accent, they sometimes emulate an American accent from a different part of the country than what would make sense for their character.

Vice President JD Vance was criticized after he said during a Turning Point USA event that he hopes his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, who is the daughter of Telugu-speaking Indian Hindu immigrants who hail from Andhra Pradesh, will convert to Christianity someday and "see things the same way" that he does.

A woman in the audience had the opportunity to ask Vance how he squares having a Hindu wife and mixed-race children with his anti-immigration rhetoric, a nod to the Trump administration's ongoing immigration crackdown that is tearing families across the country apart.
