Eric Trump, the smarter one, tweets that Ellen DeGeneres is part of the #DeepState
The Deep State apparently now includes such malicious actors as James Comey and a daytime television talk show host who loves cats.
That's according to top National Security Expert, Eric Trump, Donald Trump's second oldest son. In a tweet Tuesday night, Eric implied that not only were Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were part of this mysterious deep state, but so too was Ellen DeGeneres.
Professor Eric made the previously unexamined connection between the Deep State and Ellen based on his Twitter recommendations.
It's unclear whether or not Eric was being entirely serious, though given his past "research" and public statements, its certainly within reach. In August 2016, Professor Eric told CBS This Morning that if his daughter were to ever be harassed in the workplace, he would hope she switched careers or found another company to work for -- and not actually, you know, receive justice.
Remember -- though some may disagree, Eric Trump is widely held to be the smarter one.
At least we have Twitter to hold Eric accountable.
The Executive Producer of The Ellen Show released this public statement:
Maybe this is just Eric's way of asking to be invited to the show? It's possible he just really wants to dance to "Uptown Funk" with Ellen. Is that so much to ask?
