"A sad day!"
Guilty verdict against Trump: son completely freaks out
While many celebrities such as Robert De Niro and Barbara Streisand are publicly celebrating the guilty verdict for Donald Trump, some of the ex-US president's family's nerves are on edge. Son Donald Jr. literally went berserk after the verdict.
In an Instagram video, the 46-year-old railed against the court and the jury. It was a "sad day for America", Trump Jr. railed, saying that the Democrats and President Joe Biden had finally turned the USA into a "shithole".
"They don't care if they destroy our country"
But Trump Jr. was far from finished with his tirade. He continued his rant on X, declaring that "these people", i.e. the supporters of the Democratic Party, would "do anything" to stay in power. "They don't care if they destroy our country in the process."
Trump Jr. has the backing of right-wing influencer Mike Cernovich, among others. The latter even compared the Trump trial to the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963. Trump Jr.'s reaction: "That's 100 percent right."
Ivanka shared a picture of her child
Trump's daughter Ivanka, who unlike her brothers had not appeared in court, reacted quite differently. The 42-year-old posted a child's photo on Instagram showing her with a party hat on her father's arm.
"I love you dad," Ivanka commented on the old snapshot and garnished the message with a little heart.
Divine assistance for Trump?
Trump's younger son Eric also got carried away with a - rather bizarre - reaction on social media following the guilty verdict for his father. It seems that the 40-year-old is hoping for heavenly powers to help his father after the verdict.
In a composite image, Trump can be seen on the court bench while Jesus stands behind him and places his hands on his shoulders. Trump appears to be reaching for the Son of God with his right hand.
Eric Trump also appeared combative on X. Because he seems certain: "May 30, 2024 (the day of the verdict, note) could be remembered as the day Donald J. Trump won the 2024 presidential election."
