Eric Trump goes off on Chris Cuomo over government ‘weaponization’
Washington Examiner ^ | October 8, 2025 | Asher Notheis

Eric Trump accused NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo of trying to “play coy” while debating government weaponization on Tuesday, saying President Donald Trump didn’t try to “bankrupt” his opponents in his first term.

Cuomo asked Eric Trump if it was fair to say that the Trump administration is “going after its political opponents” ahead of former FBI Director James Comey’s arraignment on Wednesday, doing “exactly what you say you oppose.” The first son said he thought it was “so ironic” that Cuomo was pushing back against the “weaponization of government” since “the very same people that were coming after us” also targeted Cuomo’s brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY), before he resigned.

“They did everything they could to destroy his governorship, they did everything they could to destroy his life, they did everything they could to destroy you. I sat in that same seat! The only difference is my last name wasn’t Cuomo; my last name was Trump. They were trying to destroy my father, and by doing that, they were trying to destroy me, and they were trying to destroy the Trump organization. They were trying to take all our assets and strip our name off of every building in New York City,” Trump said on NewsNation’s Cuomo.

“You’ve been on the receiving end of the very same people that I’ve been on the receiving end of, and so to play coy with me as if this isn’t happening in the United States of America just seems ironic and foolish given what you’ve been through more so than anybody,” Trump said.

Just for fun, Trump should announce he’s pardoning his kids for any future wrongdoing. That would be fun to watch.

75 lawfare cases against Trump himself. Fani, Latitia and the others.
Lawfare ones that tied him up in court so he couldn’t campaign and we kept off some states’ national election ballots until defended by his legal team to get back on. And attempted to bankrupt him by forcing him to sell his buildings and businesses (E. Jean Carroll and others).

190 lawsuits against Trump including the ones blocking his actions as President as well as the many lawfare ones that tied him up in court so he couldn’t campaign and we kept off some states’ national election ballots until defended by his legal team to get back on.

That is an original sounding phrase.

I think Chris Cuomo has an annoying attitude that he has found the one and only final answer to every controversy (such as not being for physical attacks against a political opponent, or his ideas being the only path to peace in the Middle East and healing the divisions of Dem and GOP in the USA). Could write the statements for Miss America contestants.
