In an effort to tamper down the hubbub surrounding the explosive revelations in Michael Wolff’s explosive best-selling book, the Republican Party’s official Twitter account tried to pretend everything was all fine and dandy – and found a shady excuse to farm some email addresses and names to barrage with fundraising emails.
They sent out a tweet asking everyone to sign a birthday card for Eric Trump, the less prominent Trump scion and a top contender in the perpetually tied race for which Trump kid is “the dumb one.”
It’s almost @EricTrump’s birthday! Make sure to sign his card and include your personal message here: https://t.co/auugCIfoiF pic.twitter.com/wdQOglSxqo

Of course, they should know by now that giving such an opportunity to the denizens of Twitter always backfires in a hilarious and spectacular way.

Dear Eric;
In honor of your birthday, I've composed a little poem for you:
Roses are red,
though some too are pink.
I can't wait for the day
when your family's locked in the CLINK.— soddruntlestuntle (@teddsorenson) January 5, 2018
