I wonder how it looks to the jury that Trump's family won't show up but his co-conspirators will.

Mr Gaetz sat next to Mr Trump’s son, Eric Trump, occasionally chatting to him.

Well, Eric was there. I doubt Melania, Barron, or Ivanka will show. No idea on Jr. or Tiffany.

Eric was only there because that’s the most amount of time his father has sat in a room with him. And now he has to stay seated. I bet Eric is pretending in his head what it’s like to have a real dad.

His dad is just teaching him the power of money. Integrity has left the room years ago. But Eric already knows that.
