Eric Trump has not had a good record with shading his father's political opponents on social media. Undeterred, the President's second son tried again on Twitter Sunday.
Sharing a photo from a meeting former Vice President Joe Biden held with labor leaders on Labor Day, the younger Trump called it "low energy and awkward."

As in the past, Eric Trump's efforts draw more criticism for his father and himself than for Biden.
Everything this guy does is dumb energy and ridiculous. https://t.co/AmITNYEQyd

I love that @JoeBiden is calm. It is reassuring.
The chaotic craziness of your father is exhausting.

The dumbest of all the Trumps, tweets that social distancing and mask wearing is low energy and awkward.
We're in the middle of pandemic, Eric. He's following the science, caring about his fellow Americans and setting an example. You're a dad, since yours sucks, follow Joe. https://t.co/wavyPMb0bi

Well, I'm convinced. That is an excellent reason to keep an ignorant, hateful fascist in the White House! https://t.co/XOlBMpoRlC

The complete lack of self-awareness from the dumbest Trump brother never ceases to amaze me. https://t.co/AJW1iGwVXS

I'll gladly take low energy, Derrick.
As for awkward, ha ha, your family's got a lock on that quality. https://t.co/jsPQ2Qetyk

Many cited the inappropriateness of his father's rallies during a pandemic.
Better than your father's raving mad super-spreader events. https://t.co/X3aAC8H1Rd

You mean he's not willing to endanger 1000s of people with an in-person rally? https://t.co/5GZkotGfH8

Following science may be boring but he hasn't killed 190,000 Americans and counting... https://t.co/vyxEjvpdCN

The event Trump mocked took place with members of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
It was a very special Labor Day for AFGE 1156 member Patty Bowermaster, who attended a socially-distant barbecue earlier today with @JoeBiden and @unionveterans! Check it out! #TeamBiden pic.twitter.com/ijm1BE2N6D

Others saw merit in Biden recognizing the contributions of workers and labor unions on Labor Day.
A real leader talking to real Americans about real problems workers face - forgot what that looks like. He's not even throwing paper towels.

Meanwhile, Eric's father said something about "projecting."
