'Go away': Eric Trump 'rejected' after somehow claiming to be 'part of the LGBTQ community'
Donald Trumps second son didnt receive the kind of response he hoped for when he went on Fox News to claim a kinship with the LGBTQ community.

Eric Trump inspired an outpouring of quips about coming out and more scathing commentary about not being wanted when he appeared on Fox and Friends Tuesday morning to clumsily claim a kinship with the LGBTQ community.
Eric Trump, Donald Trumps second son, appeared on the morning Fox News show to argue that his father enjoys support from a large, but silent segment of the LGBTQ community.
The LGBT community, they are incredible, Eric Trump said. You should see how they come out for my father, every single day.
But its what Eric Trump said next that turned heads and became a Twitter talking point.
Im part of that community and we love the man, he said.
