Eric Trumpโ€™s Possible In-N-Out Lemonade Heist Has The Internet Going Crazy

๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿ‹

A billionaire pinching pennies? Maybe.

Eric Trump and his family decided to hit up In-N-Out Burger in Las Vegas following the final debate Wednesday night. His wife, Lara, posted a photo of the outing to her Instagram.

But another photo is getting way more attention. That photo shows Trump posing with a fellow In-N-Out customer named Grant while holding a free water cup filled with what appears to be lemonade.

Grantโ€™s friend David Winkelman, who tweets under the handle Kush Vonnegut, tweeted the pic Thursday.

Of course, itโ€™s possible that Trumpโ€™s wife was drinking a paid-for lemonade and he simply took some of hers using the free cup, or that he wanted water and accidentally pressed the button.

Grant โ€• who is a Trump supporter and said Eric โ€œseemed like a down-to-earth guy,โ€ according to BuzzFeed โ€• has been staying quiet on the run-in and said he wants people to focus on issues that really matter.

Winkelman shared his thoughts with The Huffington Post.

โ€œThe Internet is a mixed bag of nuts so people are on both sides of the fence but mostly people feel like its standard behavior from a Trump,โ€ he said. โ€œI feel like his father has made it clear that if a penny can be saved itโ€™s the intelligent thing to do regardless of the laws people generally acknowledge.โ€

Itโ€™s hard to say which story โ€” taking free lemonade or simply using a drink machine improperly โ€” would benefit Trumpโ€™s image. โ€œIn regards to level of intelligence it is plausible that he used the wrong machine,โ€ Winkelman said, โ€œbut whether heโ€™d rather be called out for helping himself to a free lemonade or seen as a person that cant properly use a drink machine is something his team would need to determine.โ€

And there you have it.
