Eric Trump Says Wife Lara’s Name “Not Viable” on iTunes Listing, Streamer Treating Screeching Song “Viscously”

Share

Eric Trump is on trial today in New York for fraud, along with his father and brother. His business license has been cancelled by Judge Arthur Engoron.

Still, Eric has his priorities. His wife, Lara, has recorded a version of Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down.” It’s sounds like geese being slaughtered. Petty’s estate has sued her to stop the usage.

But Eric says in a post today that Lara’s name is so small on iTunes that it’s not “viable.” He says she’s being treated “viscously.”

Viable means not useful, incapable of working. Viscous is thick and murky. These things certainly describe Eric and Lara.

Now wake up, Eric, the judge is speaking.

PS The video has had 19,000 views on YouTube, almost all causing calls to 911.
