Eric Trump defended his dad on Twitter Thursday by posting a red MAGA-type hat reading “LOPA” for “Leave Our President Alone.” Critics couldn’t quite believe it.
Earlier this month, the loyal son took a far different — though just as unpopular — tack concerning the impeachment hearings investigating President Donald Trump’s activities. Eric used the hearings as an opportunity to sell the family wine. “It’s a perfect day” for a Trump wine because “these people are — insane,” he tweeted.
It is a perfect day for a nice bottle of this. These people are — insane.... @TrumpWinery pic.twitter.com/lkMVEorYKb

Eric Trump can’t capitalize on the “LOPA” hat — yet. As of Thursday, it wasn’t being offered for sale on the Trump campaign website.
But critics had a field day.

Happy to leave Trump alone as soon as he leaves some other groups alone: women, people of color, refugees,

Ukrainians, the rangers who steward our national parks, cities where he has rallies & then doesn't pay, middle-class tax payers, etc. #LetOligarchsPlunderAmerica
I don't remember anyone saying this when you asked where Obams's birth certificate was every single day.

How does his base claim Trump is being maligned when all they do is obstructing? Two plus two = Trump & team are not innocent or they would testify.

I’m happy to ignore his crass and meretricious grandstanding, as long as he doesn’t bray his regressive policies into a taxpayer-funded megaphone.
No we will not. Just like all of you never left obama alone.
