Eric Trump seemingly took a leaf from the drug dealer and terrorist communications rule book in January 2020. Following in the footsteps of Omar Little from “The Wire,” Donald Trump’s third born allegedly turned to burner phones to communicate with January 6 insurrectionists. According to Rolling Stone, days before the riots, “March for Trump” head honcho Kylie Kremer ordered a foot soldier to pick up three burners to facilitate hard-to-trace “high-level” communications with the inner Trump circle. A source who worked for the organization that helped plot the Ellipse rally claimed Kremer insisted the phones be purchased for cash. She allegedly used them to communicate with top Trump administration stars, including Eric and his wife, Lara Trump.
The explosive Rolling Stone article avoided Eric’s attention. Or, more likely, he didn’t want to pick a fight with their deep-pocketed parent company, Penske Media, because, when the Palmer Report claimed on X, formerly known as Twitter, that Eric and Lara “reportedly used burner phones to communicate with January 6th organizers, meaning didn’t want the planning to be traced back to them, something you do in a criminal plot,” he struck.
And, never one to miss a Hunter Biden attack opportunity, Eric went for a political twofer. “Well, here is one outlet I can sue for defamation. This will be fun. I’m an incredibly honest, clean guy — unlike Hunter, no drugs, healthy lifestyle, not the ‘burner phone’ type… Tweet saved,” he sniped.
