During an interview yesterday with right-wing influencer Bennie Johnson, Eric Trump was asked about the protests in Los Angeles over the Trump administration’s draconian immigration policy, and rather than discuss the issue in a rational manner, he immediately resorted to using slurs, calling the protesters “mongoloids.”

The definition of “mongoloid,” according to Merriam-Webster, is a dated and “now offensive” term to describe “a person affected with Down syndrome.”
In other words, Eric Trump made fun of people with Down’s syndrome and also suggested that anyone who dares to criticize his father has a brain disorder.
Social media users immediately took Eric to task for his ignorance and insensitivity.
This piece of shit is so fucking stupid he can’t even keep his slurs straight. pic.twitter.com/6C20eNtxKm

This is the term they used 50 years ago about people who have down syndrome.

The whole family are just atrocious human beings.
Dehumanizing people is essential to carrying out the next phases.

That word is so repulsive. It was also heavily used by his orange daddy’s generation. MAGA is disgraceful.
