It has been noted that video clips of Eric Trump’s Tuesday afternoon speech have surfaced on X, formerly known as Twitter and alleged that he believes that his father, the former president, will win his criminal hush money case because “we’re white.” Other accounts claim he said, “we’re right” via Newsweek.
On Tuesday, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and his wife and Republican National Convention co-chair Lara Trump spoke outside the courtroom after Donald Trump’s trial in New York concluded closing arguments.
The high-profile case marks the first time in U.S. history that a former president has stood trial in a criminal case. After an investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office, Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, was indicted in March 2023 on 34 counts of falsifying business records.
He faced accusations of attempting to conceal hush money paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels by Trump’s then-lawyer and “fixer” Michael Cohen during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
Daniels had accused that she had an affair with Trump in 2006 but he has denied. The former president has pleaded not guilty to all charges and said the case against him is politically motivated.
In his speech, Eric Trump further stated that the Trump family’s stance, as well as that of many GOP leaders, calling the proceedings a “sham trial,” and saying that “the entire country knows that this is nonsense, they don’t buy it.”
Near the end of his speech, Eric Trump said, “I cannot wait for the day that we win, we will,” followed by the debated phrase of either “we’re white,” which many X users have highlighted, or “we’re right.” He later added, “I think we’re gonna prevail.”
