To Eric Trump, his father's critics are some kind of subhumans.

The second son of the president, who co-runs The Trump Foundation along with his brother, Donald Trump Jr., said as much to Fox News's Sean Hannity on Tuesday.

"I've never seen hatred like this. To me, they're not even people," he said, referring to his dad's political opponents. "It's so, so sad. I mean, morality's just gone. Morals have flown out the window. We deserve so much better than this as a country."

He then took special aim at the Democratic Party, saying they're "imploding" and "have no message."

You would probably be less than stunned to know that people (including a few elected Democrats) did not take kindly to the thing about his dad's critics being less than people.

Eric Trump also made this comment on the day Forbes published a story that showed how the Eric Trump Foundation took money allocated to help kids with cancer and instead used it to fill the pockets of the Donald Trump Foundation.

Twitter was on it.

On the bright side, maybe, this is more than anyone has talked about Eric Trump, perhaps ever.
