Eric Trump found himself the butt of countless jokes on Twitter on Tuesday morning after he issued a rallying cry for people in Minnesota to vote, one week after the 2020 election.
“Minnesota get out and vote!!!” tweeted President Donald Trump’s second-eldest son:
On Election Day itself, Eric Trump had posted a slew of similar calls:
Pennsylvania please get out and VOTE!! We must save America from the radical left!
— Eric Trump (@EricTrump) November 3, 2020
Turn Nevada Red!!!
— Eric Trump (@EricTrump) November 3, 2020
Nevada - we are so close! Get out and vote ASAP! Let’s #KeepAmericaGreat
— Eric Trump (@EricTrump) November 3, 2020
That prompted speculation on social media that Tuesday’s tweet was down to a scheduling error. Eric Trump deleted the post within minutes of it going live. But it still went viral via screenshots.
President-elect Joe Biden is projected to take all 10 Electoral College votes in Minnesota, having secured more than 1.7 million votes to Trump’s 1.4 million.
Is it is just me... or is this the longest Election Day EVER???! https://t.co/hj2eP142en

For those wondering, I’ve concocted an elaborate scheme where I’ve placed Eric Trump into a “Truman Show”-like environment, yet he lives Election Day 2020 over and over like “Groundhog Day”. pic.twitter.com/0xsgEPcCxs
