On Wednesday, the United States reached a somber and tragic milestone: 100,000 Americans dead as a result of the novel coronavirus which continues to kill people across the nation.
And yet Eric Trump, son of President Donald Trump, was on Twitter, boasting that the Dow Jones Industrial Average had a “great day”:
GREAT DAY for the DOW!! https://t.co/t0cK3wOKUu
— Eric Trump (@EricTrump) May 27, 2020
While it’s true that the Dow did indeed rise 2.1 percent on Wednesday, was it really necessary to tweet about it and not even mention the fact that 100,000 people are dead partially as a result of the inaction of Donald Trump when the virus first arrived in the U.S.?
Eric’s tone-deaf tweet didn’t sit well with many on social media:
GREAT DAY for the DOW!! https://t.co/t0cK3wOKUu

Not a GREAT DAY for the 100,000 DEAD AMERICANS!! (How is every member of this family so utterly awful?) https://t.co/xKqtixwX80

100,000 dead. 36,000,000 unemployed. Ongoing horror for black and native Americans. But, sure, great day for the Dow and, apparently, for this guy. https://t.co/Nkjx13rur2

Over 100,000 dead. Did you mean DOW or DOA?

Only a Trump would be tweeting about today being a “great day for the Dow” while our death toll from COVID-19 hits 100,000. My God, there isn’t a conscience in the whole Trump horde. How utterly disgusting you are, @EricTrump. https://t.co/7UJEQ1S2ok

Your daddy burned the neighborhood down and now wants credit for bringing a bucket of water.

Wow. On the day we reach 100,000 deaths.
You’re definitely your father’s son.— SUN (@sun_cel) May 28, 2020
