Eric Trump says fellow plane passengers came up to hug him when news of his father Donald Trump’s indictment broke Thursday.
“I was on a plane, I was on a commercial flight, when this whole indictment broke,” Trump said on Fox News today. “People were coming up to me, giving me hugs.”
The former president’s son did not stop there: “The support is unbelievable out there because people understand that we’ve literally become a banana republic, that they’ve made a mockery out of our legal system in this country.” Trump’s statement comes after his sister, Ivanka Trump, gave a short, statement in response to the indictment: “I love my father and I love my country,” her statement read. “Today I am pained for both.”
