Eric Trump: My Father Built NYC Skyline And This Is The Thanks He Gets?

Friday’s bombshell ruling in the New York fraud case fined Donald Trump $355 million and Eric and Donald Trump Jr. $4 million each. The sons were also barred from running any New York business for two years.

Not surprisingly, Eric Trump made his family out to be big victims. “We have never missed a loan payment. We’ve never defaulted,” he told a very sympathetic Jeanine Pirro, on Fox News. “We were called by every single lender a ‘platinum borrower.’”

Pirro, a former Westchester prosecutor, never pointed out that the case was about cheating lenders out of higher interest rates via fraudulently overvaluing properties. It had nothing to do with how well the Trump company paid its bills.
