Things are falling apart in TrumpWorld these days after the ex-president’s organization as well as the company’s chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg was recently slapped with several hefty indictments in connection to the investigations raging against the family business for tax fraud. While no one in Donald’s immediate family has yet to suffer a personal blow in connection to the investigation and indictments, one columnist is beginning to wonder if that is just around the corner based on one Trump son’s sudden silence.
Editor for Queerty, Graham Gremore, made quite an interesting observation today that could be rather telling as far as the middle Trump son Eric’s involvement in the pending Trump Organization lawsuits go.
Gremore noticed today that Eric Trump, daddy’s grifter-in-chief, has suddenly gone silent and hasn’t posted a single thing on his social media in about 10 days — the longest Twitter-free stretch Eric has gone in 5 years. The last thing the former First Son posted was a photo of himself and his wife on a yacht. Now, this could mean that perhaps the couple is on vacation in an area that doesn’t have cell service that would allow him to post. But for that to be the case, it certainly wouldn’t explain how his wife is still posting away and doing interviews left and right.
“It comes at literally the exact same time two of his dad’s closest allies–Tom Barrack, chairman of Trump’s 2017 inauguration committee, and Allen Weisselberg, former CFO of the Trump Organization–were indicted for unrelated crimes,” Gremore writes.

Eric certainly isn’t the only Trump spawn that’s suddenly not in the limelight anymore. Over the past several weeks both Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner have taken a huge step back from Vanky’s scandal-ridden father and they’re not even trying to hide it. This has, of course, led some people to believe that Ivanka is likely in some legal peril of her own for schemes similar to what Weisselberg is going down for as we speak.
Gremore seems to think that Eric may have finally gotten the memo. Now someone just needs to tell Don Jr.
