"I have thousands of calls a day," [Eric Trump] said raising his voice. "I don't remember specific calls."
At a base value of 2000 calls in a 24 hour period, ~~that's 43.2 calls per minute, every minute, for all 24 hours. That's one call every 1.39 seconds.~~
@A_A points out that my calculations are in error.
- 83.3 calls per hour
- 1.39 calls per minute
One has to wonder where he (Eric Trump) finds the time to pour concrete.
Whoops, you made a miscalculation by a factor of 60.
Oh I did, didn't I? I'll fix it.

I do in fact have an interest in this material, it must show in my previous posts or comments ... Maybe you have such an interest (cement, CO~2~) yourself as well ?
(nice calculation fix by the way 😌)
Ha, I was referring to Eric Trump with that.
We all make mistakes, I always appreciate when mine are called to my attention. It gives me an opportunity to learn and correct. And it is appropriate to preserve mistakes, even after correction, rather than "rewriting history."

Get used to being on trial, boys.
Yeah I don’t think it’s dawned on them that daddy isn’t going to be around long enough to really see justice for all his crimes but they will be.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Two of Donald Trump's sons took the stand to deny their role in company fraud this week, and the court in New York saw some combative exchanges and even a few humorous moments.
New York Judge Arthur Engoron has already ruled that brothers Eric and Donald Jr, their father and other Trump Organization executives inflated company assets to secure favourable loans, but the months-long trial will determine the penalties the defendants will face.
Although Eric and Donald Trump Jr arrived in New York court this week clad in nearly identical blue suits and ties, their demeanours on the stand were very different.
The tension was palpable within the first few minutes of his testimony on Friday, when the attorney general's team pressed him repeatedly on whether he remembered a call from years ago about the state's fraud investigation.
That strategy seemed less effective for Eric Trump, as prosecutors pulled up emails that indicated he had agreed in the past to provide financial information about properties to help with his father's annual statements.
And shortly after proceedings closed on Friday, Mr Engoron expanded a gag order on Donald Trump that prevents him from speaking about court staff so that it applied to his lawyers too.
The original article contains 712 words, the summary contains 204 words. Saved 71%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Wait... what four things did we just learn from their testimony?
That they very obviously and blatantly lied to the court.
The articles that they said they "left to the accountants" are documents that are created by the executives to give to the accountants.
With a psychopathic liar as a father, making their own children complicit in their crime family, there was zero chance these boys grew straight in life. They had to adapt at an early stage to the crooked business their father did, that they had to accept this/his lifestyle as their own. To tame their cognitive dissidence they adopted and copied their fathers reverse-accusion game and the no-you-mentally, to not drown in their own lies that they are telling and got told by others - outside and inside of their own family. Trump once told in an interview how he cries to get what he wants and the first reaction to every accusation is a to deny everything. No concept of plausible deniability or any coherent structure needed. The blatant and loudness will make up for substance. They did not feel any accountability yet ever for this behaviour. Psychopathic behavior is a trait for them.
The law means nothing to them and there’s no way of making them tell the truth.
Trump did a really bad job with his makeup in the pic between 2 and 3.
Honestly, it probably always looks like that. That one just seems to look worse because the flash seems to be coming from the bottom left and it highlights how ridiculous it really looks.
You’re probably right but I don’t want to look at any more pictures of the clown to verify the theory lol.
I learned that I'll forget more about their job than they ever knew. Combined.
