Eric Trump Roasted for Signing Books in 'Empty' Store

It’s Eric Trump’s special day, and apparently no one is there to celebrate.

The president’s son’s memoir, Under Siege: My Family’s Fight to Save Our Nation, hit bookstores across the country on Tuesday.

To mark the occasion, the 41-year-old trekked to his local Barnes & Noble in Palm Beach Gardens to sign a few copies, according to a video he posted on X.

In the video, Trump stands next to a table stacked with his books, imploring people to visit the seemingly empty store.

“Bunch of signed books here, first come first serve,” Trump said. “Come over to Barnes and Noble, Palm Beach Gardens, a bunch of signed books.”

Online critics were quick to point out that those signed books didn’t appear to be flying off the shelves, replying to the post with comments including “looks empty,” and “no one has been waiting for you.”

“Place looks empty. Like your daddy’s head,” one X user quipped.

If no one comes will he still suffer from delusion? Of course he will ! Can't fix what is broken, buddy,
you need to just disappear Eric run while you can.
But he won't know what to do or where to go.
Lord have mercy.

"Under Siege: My Family’s Fight to Save Our Nation"

That's a damn presumptuous title coming from a forty-one year old, cloistered, silver spooner writing a "memoir" about his so-called life efforts to make our nation a better place for all. It sounds like a title daddy came up with.

With an ounce of self-awareness, the wisened, scholarly sage, Eric the Whyze would have known his book, title and signing appearance would flop — without that ounce, you get something like this.
