I wonder if what is really happening is that the Trump's are not used to dealing with people who may have motives other than money. I mean afterall, very few people truly pursue money with the same level of desire we see from the trumps.
But, he did not say his father was suicidal.

He said one had to keep from BECOMING depressed enough to be suicidal.

That's different.

Very different.

I am always discouraged to read stuff like this. I mean, we don't know... maybe Trump IS that depressed.

Or, maybe not.

This article is misleading.

Theres a LOT of things that point to Trumps issues, this is not one of them. Its innuendo.
Greywar is right.

This is from the actual interview:

Eric Trump said, “It’s the media, the mainstream media, who does not want him to succeed. It’s government who does not want him to succeed. People who are very comfortable in their white marble offices in Washington, DC who he compromises and he threatens in some way, shape or form/ They’ve never had to deal with somebody who’s an outsider who won’t put up with nonsense, and this is the result no matter what he does, he’s going to get hit, and listen, I think you have to tune it out. You obviously have to be tuned into it because you have to know what’s being said, but at the same time you have to take it all with a grain of salt, and you know, if they weren’t talking about you, you wouldn’t be doing something right and it’s important to keep it in context, otherwise quite frankly you’d probably end up killing yourself out of depression.”

I am not defending Trump. I do not like him, I think he is mentally unstable, and I think he craves approval above all things, and is far too quick to condemn as an enemy anyone who withholds it, and I think Eric is a whiny brat.

However, the title of the article and of this thread are misleading.

Let's keep it honest, people. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to criticize the man without twisting anyone's words. It's morally wrong, and it's counterproductive.

The rotten apple didn't fall far from the rotten tree! However, with Trump's inflated ego, and cowardice we couldn't get that lucky!

I will never lean to the right based on my core beliefs, but post after post makes me ashamed to be associated with the left with the continued news out there.

Pretty soon I'll start acting like a Cleveland Browns fan, and the words on these bags work.....
