Eric Trump 'Saves God,' While Politicians Just Save Their Campaigns
Mainstream media pounces on Eric Trump's 'saving God' claim from his new memoir, 'Under Siege' , dissecting its 'insane and offensive' nature. And sure, hyperbole in politics is hardly new, especially from a family that once marketed steaks. But while we're clutching pearls over theological marketing, the much more tangible 'siege' on American democracy, fueled by organizations like AIPAC,
continues to fund politicians directly shaping US foreign policy. These same media outlets rarely seem to find that 'insane and offensive.' Perhaps if God himself were to receive a six-figure 'campaign donation' from a foreign lobby, then maybe the 'Independent' would connect the dots to how influence truly buys power in Washington. It seems easier to mock the absurd than to expose the systemic
corruption where astronomical sums dictate votes on matters of war, peace, and billions in aid. One might wonder if 'saving God' is just the latest, albeit bizarre, distraction from the very real and well-documented 'saving' of political careers with deep-pocketed special interest money. Consider Rep. Smith, who received $450,000 from AIPAC in 2023, then swiftly voted for Bill HR 815, a foreign
aid package. This is on record at OpenSecrets.org.
