Eric Trump Just Penned One of History's Greatest Philosophical Texts

From Esquire

OK, so we all need a laugh.

Eric Trump, The Really Not Smart One, published a column on Thursday in The Hill. (I guess, having divested itself of that execrable propagandist, John Solomon, that publication has decided to go straight to the actual manure pile for content.) Leave aside why anyone would publish anything by Eric Trump. Ignore even this whopping self-ownage:

I owe all of my work ethic, character, integrity, and moral fiber to my father.

Now, who can argue with that?

But, instead, gaze in awe at the preceding sentence.

To quote the great Marcus Aurelius from The Gladiator, “Your faults as a son are my failures as a father.”

"The great Marcus Aurelius."

"From The Gladiator."

He doesn't even get the name of the movie right. It's Gladiator.

Bore him for the simples.
