Fox News viewers have been mocking Eric Trump after he declared during an interview that he has been “run out of NYC.”
The 41-year-old business executive, the third child of President Donald Trump and his first wife, Ivana, stated during an appearance on the TV network last night that corporations are being driven to abandon cities like New York City because they are not being treated properly.
To emphasize his argument, he said he is among those who have departed NYC for Florida, describing this as “very sad.”
Eric stated, “You know, I mean, half the buildings in some of these cities are vacant, all because these politicians are running great American companies that were literally founded, have the cities’ DNA in them, they’re running them out of these places.
“And they’re sending every single one of these companies to, guess where, Florida, to North Carolina, to Texas, to Republican strongholds where they’re not gonna get treated like c–p.

“I mean, hey, I left New York City and guess where I went? I went to Florida because we ere literally run out of the city and it’s very, very sad.”
However, after a clip of the interview was posted on X, Fox News viewers slammed Eric for his remarks, reports the Irish Star.
“Eric Trump acting like he was ‘run out’ of NYC is peak dramatics,” a critic wrote.
Someone else said, “You didn’t flee persecution you moved because it suited your family’s narrative. Stop pretending it was some exile story.”
Another posted, “You were run out of the city by the courts and your business defrauding.”

A fourth tweeted, “Weird I go to NYC a lot cause my sister is there and I haven’t notice any vacancies at all! Clearly he’s lying or I would see it! And 80 percent of NYC despises Trump so there’s that!”
One more added, “I don’t think he is clever enough to realize that when he looks in the mirror, his right is actually left.”
A person said, “New York has rules about felons running a business.”
Someone else wrote, “Eric: Literally no one cares. You weren’t even noticed. At all.”
One commented, “Literally? People ran after you until you reached the border with the next city? How do these people get through college?”
Another said, “Maybe the fact that you stole money from a charity for kids with cancer has something to do with it.”
Back in 2019, following a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General’s office, a judge mandated that the president pay $2 million for the improper use of Donald J. Trump Foundation funds.
Eric, alongside his siblings Donald Jr. and Ivanka Trump, served as foundation directors and were mandated to complete required training regarding the responsibilities of charitable officers and directors.
Earlier this month, Eric faced ridicule as “dumber than daddy” after demonstrating a shocking lack of understanding about New York ballot procedures, despite being a lifelong NYC resident.
The president’s second-eldest son amplified an X post by Elon Musk that falsely claimed New York City’s mayoral elections were rigged ahead of democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani’s triumph.
“The New York City ballot form is a scam!” Musk declared, alleging that “no ID is required, other mayoral candidates appear twice,” and “Andrew Cuomo’s name was last in bottom right” while posting a ballot image.
The photograph actually revealed Joseph Hernandez’s name appeared last, positioned after Cuomo’s listing.
“I hope everybody starts to understand the games that they play… no different than bomb threats called into NJ voting locations on Election Day – a day which vastly favors Republican turnout,” Eric posted while sharing Musk’s message.
New York elections permit electoral fusion, allowing multiple parties to nominate identical candidates.
For many years, New York voters have encountered candidates appearing twice, three times or even more frequently on their ballots during polling.
